Enhanced 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 12-13 September 2019, we have put together some of the resources that you may find useful in this subject area.
