Leading and monitoring
In the active phase of treatment, repeat visits are synchronized with courses: tests before each cycle, toxicity assessment, maintenance therapy. After treatment - an observation schedule (usually every 3 months in the first 2 years, then less frequently) with localization examinations; The goal is to catch a possible relapse at a treatable stage. Also, at the follow-up appointment, the results of the histology review and second opinion images are reviewed.
Indications
- identified formation of any localization - a node, a “spot” on the image, an enlarged lymph node;
- confirmed oncological diagnosis - choice and organization of treatment;
- second opinion on diagnosis, stage, tactics;
- observation after completed treatment (remission);
- hereditary cancer alertness - screening plan.
How oncological care is structured
The correct sequence decides everything: verification (biopsy with histology and IHC) → staging (MSCT/MRI, scintigraphy if necessary) → consultation (surgeon, chemotherapist, radiation therapist) → treatment in the right order. The oncologist coordinates this path, saving the patient from chaotic examinations and wasted time. In the clinics below, biopsies of all localizations, MSCT, operations and chemotherapy are available - the route is covered in one place; complex cases are dealt with by invited specialists.
