What Should Be Considered in Cancer Treatment?

Cancer, which causes us to be slightly startled when we first hear about it; It refers to macular benign tumors and tumors that are formed by the uncontrolled division and proliferation of cells. This disease, which has been very challenging for both the patient and the patient’s relatives, until recently; With each passing day, advanced medical technology, different treatment methods and, most importantly, early diagnosis can be successfully overcome. So, what should we pay attention to in this process? Here are the details…

Morale is essential!

It is very valuable for the person who has cancer to know that it is a process, first of all, and to have a motivation to overcome this process. In this sense, hospitals’ “patient navigator” applications provide a lot of convenience. This application, which guides the patient from the moment he steps into the hospital; In addition to all kinds of examinations and treatments, it makes them feel that they are not alone as a bridge in every bet that the patient needs during the process.

Treatment should be patient-centered.

Cancer type and treatment method are very valuable factors in achieving the desired success in cancer treatment. However, there is a more valuable factor than all of these, which is the patient himself. Because every patient is different and treatment methods to be applied may differ according to the individual. Therefore, choosing the most appropriate treatment for the patient with the joint decision of doctors from different disciplines is of vital importance.

Second opinion makes sure of treatment

Medical innovations abroad and different formulas applied in cancer treatment; may cause the patient to question the accuracy of the treatment recommended to him. In such a situation, getting a “second opinion” can help end this indecision and increase the patient’s motivation for treatment.

The most valuable criterion: A fully equipped hospital and specialist physicians…

A hospital that includes all the applications needed for correct diagnosis and treatment is extremely effective in the continuation of all these processes without interruption. A hospital and expert team, where the most advanced systems such as cancer surgery, immunotherapy, vaccine treatment, smart drugs and biological spies are applied, as well as standard applications in cancer treatment such as chemotherapy and hormone therapy, provide a great advantage in this sense.

Values ​​that will increase the quality of life should not be forgotten!

When cancer treatment is mentioned, only medical treatment should not come to mind. During treatment; The patient’s nutritional system, physical and mental health should not be forgotten. In this sense, many supportive treatments and applications such as diet, sports, breath awareness, hair care after chemotherapy should be taken into account.
