Development of oral anti-cancer treatments – the
past
• Early anti-cancer drugs were cytotoxics
• Oral hormonal agents were used to treat hormone dependent cancers as soon as they became available

Development of oral anti-cancer
treatments – Capecitabine
• 5-FU can not be absorbed from the gut so is administered as continuous IV infusion to achieve maximum cell kill
• Capecitabine is absorbed from the GI tract and converts to 5-FU at the liver, tumour site and other tissues
• Capecitabine is licensed for metastatic breast and colon cancer and as adjuvant colorectal cancer treatment

The nursing model – nurse supported
capecitabine clinic• Pathway and role of the
nurse• Patient education and
support is of vital importance
• Can be a stressful experience.
• More responsibility placed on patients to adhere to treatment regimens and recognise the onset of side effects.
• Supporting documentation

Findings: Information
Additional information needs before commencing treatment:
“How and when to take. How to store/ manage, handle. What to do if I missed a dose. How the medication works, expectation of outcome of medication”
(Female respondent aged 37, taking etoposide for several months)

• 86% of respondents reported side-effects as a result of taking oral chemotherapy treatment
• 90% indicated that they knew who to seek help from to manage these (nurse, hospital doctor, GP)
• 23% did not seek help or support
“Because I have been through it before I have not sought help – I just get on with it”(Female respondent, retired, taking
oral chemotherapy for 7 weeks)

Findings: Perceptions and experiences (1)
“I much prefer taking oral drugs, side effects are no worse than other treatments and oral drugs give me the control which is very important”
(Female aged 40 taking treatment for 5 months)
“I did initially feel apprehensive about the responsibility of taking the drugs myself. I didn’t feel safe taking such powerful medicine & worried about getting the dose right even though it was clearly explained on the box. I preferred it when the medicine was given intravenously. But I’m just about to start my 3rd cycle & feel ok about it now”
(Female aged 38 taking capecitabine for 3 months)

Findings: Perceptions and experiences (2)
“I have found this type of oral chemo very easy to use and with the least side-effects. My only worry is, is it doing the job of shrinking the tumour and how good the end result would be. Only time will tell. For people with poor or collapsed veins it is a real blessing”.
(Female aged 65)
“Oral chemotherapy relies on the diligence and efficiency of the patient. Taking 8 tablets a day is demanding particularly if the side effects, as in my case, were severe”
(Female aged 46 taking capecitabine)

Main findings• Oral therapy is the preferred
option• Healthcare professionals
anxiety– Probable drivers are
experience of patients not taking medicine correctly or reporting symptoms
• Information rushed/repeated with little time to check understanding
• Patients/caregivers anxious/overwhelmed
• Patients/caregivers assumed responsibility which they appeared to find stressful
• Elderly patients stayed with caregivers

Main findings (2)Patients may not comply by ringing in if unwell. They:
– denied side effects would occur
– didn’t know when to call in – viewed oral chemotherapy
as milder
“I’ve got to accept it and take it… I try to think myself well. I’m not going to take too much notice of side effects cause I don’t want to let them get to me. I don’t want to get that imagination where you’re feeling bad.”

What helps?• Confidence in the service /24
hour contact• Practical advice• Speaking to experienced
patients• Caregivers helped establish
routine“I come down and have me breakfast and then (name of caregiver) used to get the bag that is kept on top of the fridge out there and I‘d sit and she’d watch me have me tablets….. we made a list so she ticks it off when I’ve had them (laughs)….”
Patient
“I just kept to 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7 .. I even put me alarm on to 7 o’clock so if I should forget it, it would give me a reminder……”
