Abstract:

Clinical pharmacists specialized in oncology contributed to the safe and effective chemotherapy treatment for advanced esophageal carcinoma patients complicated with hypertension by participating in medication practice. Optimal therapeutic regimen was proposed, and pharmaceutical care and health education were provided based on the condition of each patient. By providing pharmaceutical care for cancer patients with their pharmacy knowledge, clinical pharmacists specialized in oncology can not only reduce the potential risks of chemotherapy, but also take into account of other accompanying diseases, thus improving the comprehensive treatment of patients. Furthermore, it deepened the understanding of the role of clinical pharmacy practice by patients and other medical workers. Involvement of clinical pharmacist in therapeutic practice could improve the outcome of pharmacotherapy.
