Supportive care

Supportive care begins from the first appointment. It is part of the undivided attention we give at Multidisciplinary Cancer Care (MCC) to every patient undergoing cancer therapy, regardless of the type and stage of the disease. Support continues throughout all phases of the treatment and after its completion

Cancer patients have better outcomes when supportive care is part of their therapeutic plan.¹
