Introducing...The Information Resource Blog For Oncology Professionals
Welcome and thanks for visiting Onco-P.R.N. - The oncology blog with a focus on all things oncology pharmacy/pain/palliative care-related. It is intended to be an information resource for those pharmacist and relevant health care professionals involved in whatever fashion with cancer care. Stay tuned for the latest and greatest links and information with respect to: oncology medications, continuing education, pharmaceutical care initiatives, pain and symptom control, supportive care topics, and whatever else that might fit into the theme.
I am a clinical pharmacist at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I currently practice in our outpatient Pain and Symptom Control Clinic, am also a member of our provincial IV committee, as well as spending time in rotation whether it be in the dispensary or the processing or checking IV regimens and orders.
Please post comments below (or email me at cral66@gmail.com ) for suggestions on information or links you would like to share or for me to post, or comments in general.
It is also recommended you sign up as a "Follower" by clicking on the relevant link on the left side (It is the sixth heading from the top). The process is easy and you can even use an existing google or yahoo account, amongst others. This will help establish a network of oncology pharmacists (or others with an interest in this area).
I'll end off my inaugural post with a link to an article discussing how a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent can erase finger prints! {Click on the link below.}
"Cancer drug erases fingerprints." {from BBC News}
I wonder if some criminal minds reading this might be already formulating ideas on how to make use of this!

Hi Blogger,
I’m contacting you on behalf of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to inform you of a new, interactive, e-newsletter called Advances in Oncology for Community-based Oncologists (www.oncdoccme.com) .
This quarterly, interactive newsletter will address particular challenges common to oncology practice in rural environments and is designed to increase the likelihood that rural cancer patients receive the most current evidence-based treatment and achieve longer survival.
The e-newsletter intends to:
• Provide an overview of clinical research, emerging technologies, new therapies and their side effects, as well as office initiatives that can improve the delivery of care.
• Provide depth and perspective to the most important scientific findings, facilitating application of research results to patient care.
• Address particular challenges common to oncology practice in rural environments.
• Provide a maximum of 2.0 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM to physicians that participate in the free educational activity.
I’d like to invite you to visit www.oncdoccme.com , browse the content, and possibly feature us in your blog should it meet your stamp of approval.
We hope you can take the time to do a quick write up of Advances in Oncology for Community Based Oncologists and thank you tremendously for your support. If you should need anything else (additional screenshots, logos, etc.), please let me know.
