The
oncologist
will plan your treatment with you after your examination and
test results are completed.
You may also be eligible for a research study called a clinical
trial, which is voluntary. Treatment options, benefits
and risks will be explained to you. Regional Cancer Care participates
in many national and international trials. Research is an
essential part of cancer care to find new ways to treat, control
and prevent cancer. Clinical trials also test new ways of
managing symptoms to improve your quality of life.
If surgery is needed after your initial consultation with
the oncologist, you will be referred back to your surgeon
for further follow-up. You may return to the cancer centre
once the oncologist and surgeon feel further treatment is
necessary.
