In this episode of Intermediate Med-Surg, we take a deep dive into Chapter 16 of Lewis’s Medical-Surgical Nursing—a foundational look at cancer, from pathophysiology to patient care. We’ll walk through the biology of cancer, key risk factors, common treatments like chemo and radiation, and what nurses need to know about managing side effects, staging, and supporting patients across the cancer care continuum. Whether you’re studying for exams or getting ready for clinicals, this episode breaks down the essentials and helps connect them to real-life nursing practice.
