Neoadjuvant therapy Main benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (breast
does not increase cancer patient)
survival when compared
to adjuvant therapy. It
only changes the timing
of treatment and can
change surgical options if
the tumor is shrunk
enough. If this occurs, the
patient may only require
a lumpectomy plus
radiation therapy instead
of needing a mastectomy

A comprehensive Due to Mrs. Turner's age and comorbidities, her

evaluation to assess life

morbidity and mortality in
the older patient. This
assessment tool would
evaluate and include the
following areas:
functional status,
socioeconomic issues,
psychosocial distress,
comorbidities, cognitive
function, nutritional
status, polypharmacy,
and a medication review

Two of the agents What is your best explanation for why Mrs. Turner
(docetaxel and was given a port to receive her chemotherapy?
carboplatin) that Mrs.
Turner will receive are
categorized as irritants.
Docetaxel can cause a
significant reaction if it
extravasates. It can lead
to edema, erythema,
occasional pain and
blister formation (ONS
Chemo/Bio guidelines,
2014). That is the most
likely reason that Mrs.
Turner was given a port
for her treatments. Some
patients will receive their
treatments through a
peripheral IV without
incident. Just because
they are intravenous
agents does not mean
that a port is required
and needing a port has
nothing to do with her
being older in age. Since
none of these agents are
vesicants, they likely
could have been given
safely via peripheral
route but having a port
placed is OK as well.
_____________can cause inflammation, pain, and burning
but rarely cause tissue necrosis comparable to a
Irrirtants
vesicant (unless a large amount or a very high
concentration of the irritant is extravasated).
