The presenters will describe key issues and lessons learned from three perspectives: editor, author, and that of the peer reviewer.
The objectives of the workshop include: Understanding the journal’s requirements, submission process and positioning your paper properly, preparing the manuscript, elements of successful writing, reviewing for the journal and assessing the manuscript, and responding effectively to decisions and recommendations. This workshop will be particularly useful for people who are less familiar with the journal, Supportive Care in Cancer, and/or who have limited experience with writing articles for peer-reviewed journals.
 
How to become a MASCC Designated Center of Excellence in Supportive Care in Cancer
Speakers: Dr Carla Ida Ripamonti (Italy), Dr Inessa Kononenko (Russia) and Dr Andrea Antonuzzo (Italy)
The treatment of patients with complications and/or toxicities from cancer and cancer therapies is usually managed in the context of an ED or through hospitalization in a medical ward (i.e. oncology, hematology, or internal medicine). As a consequence, in addition to supplementary costs for the Health Care System, there is considerable distress for the patients and their caregivers, since it is often an uncomfortable place for most patients, and the visit is usually performed by physicians who are strangers to the patients.
In the last years new dedicated acute Supportive Care Units were born around the world with the aim to treat patients with adequate treatments for uncontrolled symptoms or oncologic therapy-related toxicities in planned/unplanned situations starting from diagnosis and during the course of anticancer therapies.
The aim of this Meet the expert is to widespread the culture and organization of acute dedicated Supportive Care units according to the needs of each single reality and how to become a MASCC Designated Center of Excellence in Supportive Care in Cancer.
