“…This tool was developed by the researcher after reviewing recent related literature (Al-Naeli, & Hassan, 2021 ;Beaver, 2018 ;El-Hamed, Mahmoud, Bahgat, Marie, & El Sayed, 2017) to assess nurses' practice level regarding prevention and management of chemotherapy extravasation. It was checked by researcher as done and not done pre-posttest.…”

Background: Chemotherapy extravasation is serious problem, causing a damage that may range from a minor skin reaction to full-thickness burn , muscle , tendon necrosis and results in extending hospital stays, increasing morbidity, and treatment costs. Aim: Enhance oncology nurses' competency regarding management of intravenous chemotherapy extravasation. Method: A quasi-experimental design one-group pretest posttest was used with a sample of 63 nurses working at the medical department and chemotherapy installation unit at Oncology Center at Mansoura University Hospital. Tools: Two tools were used: Tool 1: Structured Interview questionnaire . Tool 2: Nurses' practice observational checklist. Results: Nurses' knowledge levels improved regarding chemotherapy extravasation post educational intervention (80.7%) compared to (7%) pre educational intervention(P value <0.001*). Nurses' practice levels improved post educational intervention(86%) compared to (50.9%) pre educational intervention(P value <0.001*). Conclusion: There was statistically significant improvement in nurses' competency regarding chemotherapy extravasation post educational intervention. Recommendation: Continuous in-service training programs for oncology nurses regarding prevention and management of intravenous chemotherapy extravasation to improve their knowledge and practice.

The central nervous system (CNS) is the most important site of extramedullary disease in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). While CNS disease is identified only in a minority of patients at the time of diagnosis, subsequent CNS relapses (either isolated or concurrent with other sites) will occur in some patients, even after delivery of prophylactic therapy targeted to the CNS. Historically, prophylaxis against CNS disease has included intrathecal (IT) chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT), although the latter is being used with decreasing frequency. Treatment of a CNS relapse usually involves intensive systemic therapy and cranial or craniospinal RT along with IT therapy, and consideration of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). However, short- and long-term toxicities can make these interventions prohibitively risky, particularly for older adults. As new antibody-based immunotherapy agents have been approved for relapsed/refractory B-cell ALL, their use specifically in patients with CNS disease is an area of keen interest, both because of the potential for efficacy but also concerns of unique toxicity to the CNS. In this review, we discuss data-driven approaches for these common and challenging clinical scenarios, as well as highlight how recent findings potentially support the use of novel immunotherapeutic strategies for CNS disease.
