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.
On Thursday 17th and Friday 18th March 2022, the ESCTOX / UKASCC conference will bring together speakers from across the globe to share their expertise and knowledge around supportive care and conditions associated with cancer and its treatment.
In conjunction with the conference, we have put together a selection of resources which you might find useful about supportive care in oncology.
Many links will ask you to log in with OpenAthens to access the full-text access, if you have any trouble accessing something, please get in touch with your NHS Trust Library.
