Your care team believes that treatment for cancer is multifaceted and patient-centered. This means that every attempt is made to empower you to participate fully in your care and treatment decisions. It means that treatment is broadly defined to include not only excellent medical care, but also attention to nutrition as well as your emotional, cognitive thoughts, spiritual and relationship issues.
