While a drug, such as immunotherapy agents, may be deemed “ideal” for a specific cohort of patients, that does not necessarily mean that it will work and be ideal for each patient in the group. There are multiple factors that determine effectiveness of the drug, and when patients are not aware of this, they can get disappointed or frustrated with the results of a particular treatment.

Knowing the proper way to deal with these patients is important for oncology nurses, who must be aware of other treatment options to offer the patient if one is not working.
