BMC Cancer | Supportive therapy, survivorship and psychosocial oncology



Supportive therapy, survivorship and psychosocial oncology

This section focuses on clinical research in the field of supportive therapy for short and long term effects (including emesis, pain, bone metastases, orphan symptoms, simultaneous care, elderly, comorbidities, emerging toxicities induced by innovative drugs, etc) induced by cancer therapies, along with their impact on quality of life, survivorship and well-being. This section will also consider material on the field of precision medicine in supportive therapy, but also on patient care and psychosocial oncology.
