Abstract

The growing prevalence of outpatient chemotherapy highlights the vital role that community pharmacists have in patient care. An online interaction meeting was held annually over a three-year period that aimed to foster mutual understanding between patients with cancer and community pharmacists. Each session involved six pharmacists and seven to eight cancer patients, with the same pharmacists participating each year. These meetings highlighted the potential of community pharmacists to reduce patient anxiety and provide treatment guidance, underscoring the importance of connecting patients with pharmacists.
