The 2016 Kumamoto earthquake occurred while the cancer consultation support center was being developed at each designated cancer hospital under the second Basic Plan to Promote Cancer Control Programs. After the earthquake, an earthquake investigation team was organized that consisted of the representatives of several medical institutions and researched the cancer support system of every cancer-related institution. Many problems in the cancer consultation supporting system became apparent. In large-scale disasters, the role of the cancer consultation support center is large, and it is important to improve information collaboration and the consultation support system adapted to the area.
