ONS/ACS State-of-the-Science Lectureship: The Elusive Concept of the Symptom Cluster Friday, February 9 • 4–5 pm Andrea Barsevick, RN, DNSc, AOCN®, director of nursing research at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, will present the 2007 ONS/ACS State-of-the-Science Lectureship. Patients with cancer often complain of a confusing array of symptoms before, during, and after therapy. These can be disease-related or early or late effects of treatment. In “The Elusive Concept of the Symptom Cluster,” Barsevick will examine the state of the science with regard to the symptom cluster and consider the implications for research, practice, ethics, and policy. In her talk, she’ll discuss the debate over whether the concept of a “symptom cluster” is merely a buzzword for consideration of multiple discrete symptoms or the description of a distinct phenomenon with integrated facets. In addition to symptom clusters, Barsevick has lectured at the national
level on topics such as cancer-related fatigue, depression, and function.
A long-time ONS member, she has published in the Oncology Nursing
Forum, Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, and Cancer
Nursing. Closing Session: Developing Models of Care for Adult Cancer Survivors Saturday, February 10 • 3:45–4:45 pm Linda A. Jacobs, PhD, RN, AOCN®, will present this year’s closing address.
