Cancer cells can break down the protective covers around nerves, causing nerve injury that triggers chronic inflammation leading to immune exhaustion and eventual resistance to immunotherapy, according to a study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Working in a comprehensive cancer center requires emotional endurance, strong clinical judgment, and constant interprofessional collaboration, all of which rest on a foundation of personal wellness. For nurses, whose roles are inherently intensive, focusing on wellbeing is integral to their ability to provide safe, compassionate, and effective patient care.
