Individual-based management including anticipatory nausea has been shown to be critical for anti-emetic therapy in ambulatory cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Early oral health care can be effective for the management of chemotherapy-induced stomatitis. Skin damage by chemotherapy and molecular-targeted therapy should be managed prophylactically by the multi-disciplinary medicine. Nurses in outpatient chemotherapy center may have difficulty in assessing their patients'symptoms and supportive care needs. The total supports for their family should be essential as well as patients. Psycho-oncology, patients' education and home health care will be next focused issues.
