Nurse Pract. 2017 04 16;42(4):49-55 Authors: Broglio K, Walsh A Abstract NPs care for patients with chronic diseases such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, and dementia.

Cancer Treat Res Commun. 2019;18:100114 Authors: Yap KK, Wong W, Ji L, Groshen S, Quinn DI, Bryce AH, Dorff TB Abstract BACKGROUND: Skeletal-related events cause significant morbidity in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
