Division of Survivorship Research
Supportive care refers to measure against side effects and adverse events to cancer treatments; palliation of cancer symptoms and end-of-life issues; mental and psychosocial care; provision of cancer related information; treatment and care to comorbidities; and support for family members/caregivers. Cancer survivorship refers to all experiences after being diagnosed with cancer, regardless of the details of the cancer diagnosis.
With the aim of realizing a society in which people can live with cancer, we are conducting research that will contribute to supportive care and survivorship for people live with cancer.We are also the administrative office of SaQRA（Survivorship and Quality of life Research Association ) .
SaQRA is a permanent multicenter research group that operates in collaboration with cancer survivors, supporters, medical professionals, researchers, and citizens working in Japan and abroad to support and validate the development and validation of survivorship, which is difficult to tackle globally.
