What is the South East Regional Systemic Therapy (Chemotherapy) Program?
The South East Regional Systemic Therapy Program (RSTP) is located at the Cancer Centre of South Eastern Ontario at KGH in Kingston, Ontario. The South East RSTP works collaboratively with the CCSEO at KGH and Regional Partner Hospitals to provide high-quality coordinated care as close as home as possible.
The Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario at KGH is the core of the regional cancer program. It provides academic, expert high-risk delivery of systemic treatment and operational leadership within the South East RSTP.
The South East RSTP is affiliated with both Quinte Health Care- Belleville and the Brockville General Hospital.
At Quinte Health Care- Belleville, patients can receive low to high-risk treatment under the direction and support of the medical oncologists located on site. Patients will meet with the Primary Nurse, Medical Oncologist and support staff when visiting the clinic that are specially trained in Oncology.
At Brockville General Hospital, patients can receive approved low-risk treatments with the support of a General Practitioner located in Brockville under the direction of the Medical Oncologist located in Kingston. Your treatment plan will be discussed and developed at the CCSEO at KGH and then arrangements are made for treatments closer to home, the primary nurse at the KGH will collaborate with Brockville Providers to ensure care is coordinated and supportive.
Regardless if patient receives chemotherapy treatment at the Cancer Centre of South Eastern Ontario at KGH, Quinte Health Care in Belleville or at the Brockville General Hospital, they will receive the same level of treatment and care by staff specially trained in Oncology.
