The FDA Oncology Center of Excellence is hosting a virtual Conversations on Cancer public panel discussion titled, “Oncology Nurses - Frontliners in Oncology,” on May 6, 2026, at 3:00 pm ET.
Why This Matters:
In recognition of National Nurses Week, the FDA Oncology Center of Excellence (OCE) will convene a Conversations on Cancer discussion to spotlight the critical role nurses play as frontline professionals in oncology drug development through their involvement in clinical trials, research coordination, patient care, and education. While their responsibilities extend from direct patient interaction to significant contributions in the research and pharmaceutical industries, their expertise and contributions are often underrepresented and underrecognized in the drug development process.
This conversation opens dialogue between frontline nurses and regulatory professionals regarding their roles in cancer treatment and how nursing insights can inform oncology product development, clinical trial participation, and the patient experience.
