Discussing the Role of the Pharmacist in the Management of Biliary Tract Cancer

Panelists discuss how pharmacists play a crucial role in biliary tract cancer management by leveraging their detailed medication knowledge to assist with treatment selection, develop comprehensive monitoring plans (especially for hyperphosphatemia with FGFR inhibitors and cardiac monitoring with HER2 therapies), educate patients about unique toxicities and self-management strategies, create clinic workflow algorithms for toxicity management, and advocate for maximizing time on therapy as long as patients maintain response or stable disease given the limited treatment options available for this rare cancer type.
