Quality of Life in Oncology Resource Centre
29 Nov 2013
To optimize quality of life in oncology patients preventive measures to avoid occurrence of adverse effects of the disease and its treatment are required. Where prevention is not feasible, proper management to minimize both physical and psychological adverse effects is needed. By maximizing the patient’s quality of life patient resilience is enhanced, supporting acceptance, rehabilitation, compliance and generally easing the significant emotional burden of both patients and care givers. Therefore, supportive care designed to uphold the quality of life of patients and those directly involved by preventing and alleviating the symptoms and complications of cancer (treatment) is essential to allow maximal benefit of the treatment options at hand.

The editor-in-chief of the resource centre is Dr. Matti S. Aapro (Multidisciplinary Institute of Oncology, Genolier, Switzerland). The resource centre is supported by an international Editorial board of experts: Dr Florian Scotté (France) Dr Carla Ripamonti (Italy), Dr Ricardo Caponero (Brazil), Dr Anton Snegovoy (Russia) and Dr Martin Chasen (USA).
