AB Cancer  is  frequently  associated  with  a  host  of  distressing  physical  and  psychosocial  symptoms  that  can  occur  throughout  the  disease  trajectory  (1).  Access  to  a  multidisciplinary  supportive  care  service  is  imperative  for  patients  with  cancer  experiencing  distressing  symptoms,  including  fatigue,  pain,  anorexia,  nausea,  dyspnea,  anxiety,  depression,  and  weight  loss,  to  improve  the  quality  of  life  of  patients.  Without  optimal  symptom  control,  administration  of  anticancer  therapies  may  be  delayed  or  discontinued  (Table  58-1).
