Cancer understandably affects more than your physical health. It impedes your psychological well-being as well. Making it necessary for us to develop an approach to comprehensive cancer care that addresses all aspects of your needs in a convenient location. Our multidisciplinary team of professionals collaborate to provide all the services you will need to achieve remission.
The comprehensive cancer care center's primary goal is to provide personalized and coordinated care that addresses the needs of each patient. The center's multidisciplinary team includes various oncologists, nurses, social workers, dietitians, psychologists, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals devoted to caring for cancer patients.
By having a dynamic team of experts, patients can benefit from personalized and coordinated care, access to advanced treatments, a full support system, increased chances of remission, and multiple services in one location.
This ensures all aspects of a patient's treatments are well-coordinated, reducing the chances of patients having to communicate the findings and recommendations with each doctor in their care process.
Comprehensive cancer care centers have access to the latest advancements in multiple cancer treatments that are otherwise not widely available. This can also include the opportunity for participation in clinical trials and research in developing new therapies and medicines for cancer care.
The setup of a comprehensive cancer care center allows the patient to be the number one focus, not a schedule. This means that all healthcare professionals a patient will need are at their disposal, and though during some appointments, they will only see their oncologist, the whole team of specialists crafted a plan. This plan allows multiple eyes on the patient's tests and charts, ensuring that nothing has been missed, effectively increasing the chances of remission.
Whether it be surgery, pain management, or psychotherapy sessions, a comprehensive cancer center will have every service the patient needs for success in one location. The aim is to reduce the stress of traveling to several locations, as their only focus should be kicking this disease.
Our comprehensive cancer care center caters to every stage of a patient's care needs. Care services are typically divided into the following categories: screening and early detection, diagnosis and staging, cancer treatment, psychological treatments, and supportive care.
The oncologist will provide a cancer screening even though a patient's primary care physician or dentist may have had their own suspicions. These screenings may include mammograms, oral cancer screenings, colonoscopies, pap smears, and genetic testing to identify the validity or risk level of developing certain cancers.
If a cancer suspicion is confirmed, the oncologist will perform further diagnostic testing to determine its type and stage. The cancer stage is divided into one, two, three, and four-- helping to determine the extent or severity of the cancer. This may involve imaging studies, biopsies, blood tests, and molecular profiling. While it may seem daunting, the amount of testing a patient undergoes decreases the chances of misdiagnosis.
Cancer treatments will vary in type, duration, and invasiveness. Surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy are among the most common options the care team will explore. The patient's care team will collaborate to develop an individualized plan, taking into account their type of cancer, underlying condition, medical history, and treatment preferences.
Even strong-minded patients will need someone to talk to and help them navigate their alarming diagnosis. Therefore, our team provides extensive psychotherapy and educational resources for patients and their families. This may include information about their specific disease, treatment options, managing side effects of the disease and treatments, and coping with emotional and psychological challenges. Patients will also have access to support groups to communicate with others experiencing the same life stage.
There will be additional services necessary in addition to the actual cancer treatment. A cancer diagnosis often requires a complete lifestyle change, including dietary changes and pain management. Patients will receive nutrition counseling and access to advanced pain management tools during treatment.
