Interview with the Innovators

How Molecular Biomarkers Have Impacted Cancer Treatment
Drs Geoffrey Oxnard and Lauren Ritterhouse discuss the challenges and opportunities of precision medicine and molecular biomarkers in their clinical practice from an oncologist’s and a pathologist’s perspective.

Optimizing Communication Between Oncologists and Pathologists on Cancer Biomarker Testing
Drs Geoffrey Oxnard and Lauren Ritterhouse discuss the best ways oncologists and pathologists can communicate about molecular biomarker testing for individual patients as well as on strategies for incorporating new biomarkers into testing panels.

How the Treatment of Lung Cancer Has Been Transformed in the Era of Molecular Biomarker Testing
Drs Roy Herbst and David Rimm review how biomarker testing has transformed the way patients with lung cancer are treated, and how both medical oncologists and pathologists contribute to these changes.

How to Foster Communication Among all Members of the Cancer Care Team with Pathologists to Deliver Individualized Treatment for Patients with Lung Cancer
Drs Roy Herbst and David Rimm consider novel ways that surgeons, interventional radiologists, pulmonologists, medical oncologists, and pathologists interact at Yale Cancer Center to maximize the use of common molecular biomarkers, as well as NGS and TMB, in providing precision medicine to lung cancer patients.

JONS talks with Editor-in-Chief Lillie D. Shockney, RN, BS, MAS, ONN-CG, to understand the purpose and contents of survivorship care plans and the role of oncology professionals in their creation and dissemination.

JONS talks to Ms Allison and Ms Melton about their experiences as navigators, the critical touch points they have with patients, and how coordinating care is executed at their institutions.

An Interview with Oncology Financial Navigator Clara Lambert of Cowell Family Cancer Center

Nurse Navigator Amy Jo Pixley reveals how she organizes her day, prioritizes her work load, implements metrics, and cares for individual patients.

In an effort to understand a day in the life of a thoracic navigator, we spent some time with Wendy Brooks, RN, ONN-CG. Ms Brooks obtained her certification as generalist oncology nurse navigator through the Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+) and was instrumental in the development of the AONN+ specialty certification exam in thoracic oncology.

NCRA President Barbara Dearmon speaks with JONS about the crucial role of cancer registries and the implications for oncology nurse navigators.
