Supportive care is increasingly seen at the forefront of the prevention and management of the adverse effects of cancer as well as cancer treatments. There has never been more of a need for oncology and supportive care services to interface seamlessly and provide a joined up approach for the care of our patients.
In conjunction with the upcoming Enhanced Supportive Care: Cancer Toxicity Management Conference on 5-6 July 2018, we have put together some of the resources that you may find useful in this subject area.
