Approach to care
The starting point is your individual situation: the type and stage of cancer, its biological features, previous treatment, other health conditions and your priorities. Treatment recommendations should be understandable, evidence-based and practical.
Your CTI doctor helps coordinate care with other specialists when needed and reviews how the treatment is affecting both the cancer and your daily life.
