The oncology consultation team consists of oncologists, abdominal and vascular surgeons, chemotherapists, radiologists, pathologists, and narrow specialists (gastroenterologists, cardiologists, gynecologists, neurologists, etc.). The decision of the consultation is crucial for approving the patient's treatment plan and selecting further necessary diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional measures.
Before making such a decision, the IOC carefully examines the patient's profile, the results of the examinations performed, and the patient's current state of health, as well as the risks and prognosis of the disease.
A modern pathology service with the possibility of in-depth examination of biopsy material, the introduction of the latest linear accelerator, together with a professional oncological and chemotherapy team, allows us to obtain the best clinical results.
