UKASCC is delighted to confirm the publication of our book – “Handbook of Supportive Oncology” on the 19th May, 2025, published by Routledge (Taylor and Francis Group). Edited by Richard Berman, Ben Heyworth and Ashique Ahamed, the book defines the new and emerging specialty of supportive oncology and starts to equip the workforce with the appropriate skill sets:
- Providing personalised and targeted treatments consistent with the stage of disease
- A focus on preservation and improvement in quality of life
- Issues that affect survival and the quality of that survival
- Permitting the use of the most effective anti-cancer agents
- Assisting in accurate diagnosis and management
The book also focuses on approaches to rehabilitation and survivorship, managing late consequences of treatment, special populations (including older people, teenagers and young adults, and oncology through an intersectional lens), and finally takes a look at some of the practical and organisational challenges to embedding supportive oncology in health systems both in the UK and elsewhere.
