To transform the cancer care environment by bringing core clinical services to one central place.
it is likely that you’ll be referred to a medical oncologist (cancer specialist) for further diagnosis and treatment. At this point, it’s important to understand that the process of correctly diagnosing the type of cancer, how far it has spread throughout your body and the best possible treatment options will require the services of more than one cancer specialist.
This is provided by a radiation oncologist who is part of the patient’s medical care team. Since this is the first visit the patient will make to a particular doctor, no radiotherapy treatment will be performed. Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options available to people who are suffering from cancer. Even in cases where the cancer is incurable, this procedure is still effective in controlling the symptoms that patients feel as a result of their condition. The treatment aims to destroy cancer cells using high-energy radiation that causes them to sink.
Molecular diagnostics are increasingly used to guide patient management, from diagnosis to treatment, particularly in the fields of cancer.
The risk of developing many types of cancer can be reduced by practicing healthy lifestyle habits, such as eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and not smoking. Also, the sooner a cancer is found and treatment begins, the better the chances are that the treatment will be successful.
The health care provider chooses the appropriate sterile technique and necessary supplies based on the clinical condition of the patient, the cause of the wound, the type of dressing procedure, the goal of care, and agency policy.
At your appointment, you'll be encouraged to talk about your feelings and emotions with a trained therapist, who'll listen and support you without judging or criticising. The therapist can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes, and find your own solutions to problems.
