Abstract
The pharmacist’s role places them squarely on the front line of the benefit-risk analysis of drug administration. They are often the ones who explain the drugs to the patients and, in the process, supply part of the information about which patients must make an informed decision about their chemotherapy. This chapter presents the reflections of one oncology/pain specialty pharmacist.
