Operational scope and clinical practice profile of a nurse practitioner-led advanced prostate cancer clinic A retrospective review from a Canadian cancer center

Introduction

The use of androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) in advanced prostate cancer has improved survival outcomes, leading to increased survivorship followup demands and resource utilization. To address this, nurse practitioner-led prostate cancer clinics (NPPCCs) were implemented at a Canadian regional academic cancer center. We aimed to evaluate the scope and care delivery practices of NPPCCs managing patients on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and ARPI therapy.
