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.
