An increase in the number of individuals who live with cancer (cancer survivors) has become a global health issue. Recently, we have been placing emphasis on not only extending patients' lives but also improving the patients' health status including assuring that the patients feel safe and secure by continuing therapy, managing symptoms, preventing secondary cancers and comorbidities, and enriching the patients' lives and arranging employment.
The aims of the current study are to standardize the "Safe and Secure Cancer Care Network" for cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity and dermatological toxicities, which will play a pivotal role in expanding life opportunities of cancer survivors, and to build a care network that would effectively make such care accessible to cancer survivors. We will concurrently investigate the economic effects of this network. We believe that a reduction in health care costs and an increase in the labor force would result through implementation of the "Safe and Secure Cancer Care Network" at various institutions and regions.
