An oral history of MASCC, its origin and development from MASCC's beginnings to 2009

Abstract: As science was making progress towards better cancer treatment, a group of professionals began to research ways to prevent or mitigate the symptoms and side effects that accompany the disease and its treatments. Joining forces, they created an international, multidisciplinary organization to address and promulgate evidence-based practices of cancer supportive care. Through annual international scientific symposia, a peer-reviewed journal, an accessible website, and study group projects such as guidelines and t… Show more

“…Supportive care emerged as a concept and a care approach in the late 1980s, somewhat later than PC, but with a similar focus on the host. 33 Supportive care focused on the entire disease trajectory, including when curative treatments, often accompanied by multiple side effects, are still being delivered. Late effects began to receive attention during the 1980s as new health problems in cancer care and spawned the field of cancer survivorship which can be regarded as an extension of supportive cancer care.…”

“…Data collection: Exploratory purposive semi-structured interviews were conducted using a topic guide informed by existing literature, the primary outcome and the classification of supportive care needs (Carter, Bryant-Lukosius, DiCenso, Blythe, & Neville, 2011;Hui, 2014;Paterson, Robertson, et al, 2015;Rittenberg, Johnson, & Kuncio, 2010) (see Table 1) at 3 months. This interview guide focused on the experience of the provided care, the advantage and disadvantage of the two models and on the feasibility and implementation of the intervention into current care.…”

“…Supportive care is a person-centred approach to "the provision of the necessary services for those living with or affected by cancer to meet their informational, emotional, spiritual, social, or physical needs during their diagnostic, treatment, or follow-up phases encompassing issues of health promotion and prevention, survivorship, palliation, and bereavement" [4][5][6]. SCNs have been defined as requirements for patient care that relate to the management of symptoms and sideeffects, enablement of adaption and coping, optimisation of understanding and informed decision-making, and minimisation of functional deficits [7].…”
