Article Abstract
The objective of this study was to conduct an assessment of supportive care needs from the perspective of parents of children diagnosed with cancer within an urban-rural region in Eastern Ontario, Canada. Guided by a conceptual framework for supportive care, the exploratory, mixed-method study used a standard needs survey and semistructured interviews. Fifteen parents completed (75% response rate) the survey, and 3 parents participated as key informants in the follow-up interview. Parents reported needs in all 6 of the need categories outlined within the Supportive Care Needs Framework. The proportion of parents expressing a need ranged from 23% to 39%. Dealing with the fear of their child's cancer spreading was frequently identified by parents. Emotional and informational needs were the 2 most frequently acknowledged categories of need. With further refinement, the use of the conceptual framework will provide a methodology for planning care based on the individual needs identified by parents of children with cancer.

As the number of cancer treatments increases, new specific toxicities are emerging, requiring early and specialized treatment. The Gustave-Roussy center in Villejuif, near Paris, has set up a multidisciplinary toxicity pathway (ImmunoTox multidisciplinary consultation meeting, day hospital, mobile team). This includes an advanced practice nurse to optimize the management of undesirable effects, improve quality of life and mobilize all related skills.

Post traumatic headache is a common condition that can be managed with pharmacologic interventions or analgesic procedures; however, most evidence is derived from patients with mild trauma, leaving a large gap with regard to patients with moderate or severe trauma who present complex pain. Botulinum toxin plays an increasingly important role in pain management. This neurotoxin acts on different receptors, ranging from TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1) to CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide).
