Cancer Treatment

The knowledge of cancer genetics and molecular cell behaviours are creating a new
paradigm for the treatment of cancer.

Effective cancer treatment delivery requires specialized knowledge and the expertise of a multidisciplinary team (nurses, physicians, dieticians, social workers,etc.).

Supportive interventions can be effective for the desired treatment outcomes. Patients commonly experience a range of symptoms from both the disease and from the treatment.
