Supportive Oncology Research Group (SORG) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“New paper hot off the press.
Supportive care is often misunderstood.
“It’s just about comfort.”
“It doesn’t improve survival.”
“It’s someone else’s job.”
In a new spicy commentary, Supportive Oncology Research Group (SORG)‘s lead, Hannah Wardill and an international team of The Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) leaders tackle 11 common myths that continue to prevent the delivery of excellent cancer care.
The message is simple:
Supportive care isn’t extra care. It’s essential cancer care.
We hope this paper challenges assumptions, sparks discussion, and helps move supportive care from the sidelines to the centre of oncology.”
