ABOUT JASCC |
The Japanese Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (JASCC) is a multidisciplinary organization dedicated to scientific activities of supportive care for people with cancer. It aims at developing safe and effective supportive care, promoting inter-disciplinary research and education and contributing to national welfare.
Originally, MASCC was planning to jointly hold this symposium with JASCC in 2021. It would have been the first Asian affiliate in Japan, and the first Asian event. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic it was postponed to 2023. With the unprecedented time of COVID-19, we have an additional two years of preparation. We anticipate that it will be a fruitful event, in an important historical place – the ancient capital of Nara. They have the largest Buddha in Japan, which is said to have been built to save people suffering from a plague a long time ago.
We hope that we can find the future direction of supporting medical care that results from close cooperation in developing cancer medical care, with multi-national colleagues from a variety of disciplines.
Please join us in Nara where you will see the fusion of a deep ancient culture and new technology.

ABOUT PAXMAN |
The PAXMAN Scalp Cooling System, developed by the Paxman family reduces chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) in cancer patients. The concept behind the system came when the mother of four, Sue Paxman, experienced first-hand the trauma of CIA. Now, the world’s leading manufacturer and supplier of scalp cooling equipment, PAXMAN have close to 4,000 Scalp Cooling Systems installed worldwide.
CIA can compromise a patient’s quality of life, negatively impacting on body image, self-esteem and depriving patients of their privacy. The prospect of CIA sometimes causes patients to refuse treatment.
A proven way of combatting CIA, scalp cooling can result in a high level of retention or completely preserve the hair. For patients, this means the opportunity to regain some control, maintain privacy and encourage a positive attitude towards treatment.
The NCCN® Clinical Practice Guidelines in oncology (Version 1.2019) recommend scalp cooling as a category 2A treatment option for patients with invasive breast cancer and ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer who are receiving chemotherapy to reduce the incidence of CIA.
The leading professional organisation for medical oncology, European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), has updated Clinical Practice Guidelines for Dermatological Toxicities Related to Anticancer Agents to include the recommendation of scalp cooling for the prevention of CIA as a Category IIB recommendation, as does the ‘Guidance for the management of early breast cancer’ by Cancer Australia. |
