CHCs offer a variety of services to support cancer patients, including:
Cancer Screening: Early detection is vital for successful treatment. CHCs provide screenings for various cancers such as breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer. Diagnostic Services: If a screening test is positive, CHCs can conduct or refer patients for further diagnostic tests to confirm the presence of cancer. Treatment Services: While some CHCs may not have the facilities to provide comprehensive cancer treatment, they often have partnerships with local hospitals and specialists for chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. Support Services: These include counseling, nutrition advice, and palliative care to improve the quality of life for cancer patients.
