Comprehensive cancer care includes several key components:
Diagnosis: Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. This may involve imaging tests, biopsies, and molecular diagnostics. Treatment: Treatment plans are tailored to the individual and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Supportive Care: This includes pain management, nutritional support, psychological counseling, and rehabilitation services. Palliative Care: Focused on improving the quality of life for patients with advanced cancer, addressing symptoms and providing emotional support. Survivorship Programs: Designed to help patients transition to life after cancer treatment, including follow-up care and monitoring for recurrence.
