Supportive Care in Cancer ConferenceOf the International MASCC/ISOO SymposiumReport by Sara Faithfull, EONS presidentThis conference in the steamy heat of Houston explored the newadvances in symptom management and supportive care. Fatigueassessment and management was very much on the agenda withreviews of cytokine and immunological research that may impact onfatigue as well as studies that identifies the efficacy of exercise. FionaCramp (05-041) presented the results of a systematic review andmeta analysis of fatigue interventions , found that through metaanalysisof 13 studies it was possible to conclude that exercise wasbeneficial for individuals but that more work is required on intensitytraining and timing of exercise interventions. An interesting area ofdebate was the needs of cancer survivors and the impact of nutritionand lifestyle behaviour on future health and well being.Long term side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy wereidentified in many tumour groups. Dimitrovska Aneta (10-102) foundin lymphoma patients a high incidence of late effects from cardiacproblems to renal impairment. The high late toxicity identifiedin many of the studies highlights the need for further detectionand research for intervention additional supportive care followingcancer treatment. This was also a theme in paediatric cancer whereevaluation of growth, dental health and gastrointestinal symptomswere affected by the impact of bone marrow transplantationand graft versus host disease. The EONS presentation identifiedthe advance of nursing and symptom science in Europe. Thispaper explored the role of nurses in symptom research and theassessment and non pharmacological management. Nurses atall levels are now expected to assess cancer patient symptoms,address symptom management during all stages of cancer therapyand make judicious decisions about patient follow-up care. From abroader perspective poor symptom management not only impacts,on the patient and carers, but also on economics with greater useof health services.Recent research identifies that symptoms are still a major problemfor cancer patients and that symptoms such as pain, fatigue andbreathlessness are not well managed. There is still much work toaddress unmet needs and to facilitate improvements in patient’squality of life. This conference provided symptom research frombench to bedside with a focus on the evidence base for symptominterventions.Impact Factor is coming…Make your article count!A few tips on how to cite.Please remember to use the full name of the journal - European Journal of OncologyNursing or Eur J Oncol Nursing - to cite articles published in EJON.You must also include the year of publication, the volume number and the pages of thearticle that you wish to cite.Here is an example of how to cite an article:Miller M., Maguire R., Kearney N.
