“Supportive care makes excellent cancer care possible … [it] is the prevention and management of the adverse effects of cancer and its treatment. This includes management of physical and psychological symptoms and side effects across the continuum of the cancer journey from diagnosis through treatment to post-treatment care.”
– Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer
Patients and caretakers work to survive a serious, life-threatening disease … a multifaceted battle managing physical and psychological symptoms and side effects across the continuum of the cancer journey from diagnosis through treatment to post-treatment care.
Clinicians mitigate the moral distress that comes with the responsibility of meeting the needs of new and existing cancer patients and their support networks.
Modern oncology practice clearly calls for a new and better paradigm - a design for care that treats the person and not just the disease. Supportive care is that new paradigm.
It provides open access to resources that allow patients to live better and improve their quality of life while battling the disease...… to thrive with cancer, not just survive.
