title: Supportive care in pediatric oncology.
abstract: Cure of children with cancer is occurring in ever increasing numbers. Research in supportive care areas such as pain management, emesis control, and infection prevention and treatment, has contributed not only to improved survival, but a better quality of life for children undergoing cancer treatment. Additionally, long-term follow-up of childhood cancer survivors is yielding information that will decrease the morbidity of future treatment regimens.
