With the majority of blood cancer patients being treated in community settings, the need for ongoing education about testing, monitoring, treatment strategies, side-effect management and survivorship remains significant for community healthcare professionals. This is particularly relevant to primary care physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals who have not received specialized training on how to recognize the signs and symptoms of blood cancer patients. Due to this issue many patients are misdiagnosed early on and are not referred to a hematologist oncologist for weeks or months; therefore resulting in delayed treatment and lack of information on survivorship.
