    Welcome to MASCC
    Leading supportive care in the 21st century.

    Supportive Care in cancer 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 experience from diagnosis through anticancer treatment to post-treatment care. Enhancing rehabilitation, secondary cancer prevention, survivorship and end of life care are integral to Supportive Care.

    Supportive Care:

    • alleviates symptoms and complications of cancer
    • reduces or prevents toxicities of treatment
    • supports communication with patients about their disease and prognosis
    • allows patients to tolerate and benefit from active therapy more easily
    • eases emotional burden of patients and care givers
    • helps cancer survivors with psychological and social problems

    We are pleased to share with you the new World Cancer Day Toolkit that can be downloaded from www.worldcancerday.org/toolkit. This toolkit contains adaptable template media materials, plus strategic and implementation guidance. Please note that all materials within this toolkit are approved by UICC for the use by all member organisations, supporters and partners at their discretion. We hope that your organisation will join us on 4 February in raising awareness of what can and must be done to make progress in the global fight against cancer – together it is possible to reduce premature deaths from cancer and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by 25% by 2025.
