cancer care pathway

A cancer care pathway is the organized process that guides a patient from initial diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. It involves various healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, and specialists, working together to determine the best plan, which may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or other therapies. The goal is to ensure timely, personalized care aimed at controlling or curing the cancer while supporting the patient's overall well-being. Throughout this journey, patients receive information, support, and monitoring to manage side effects and assess treatment effectiveness, helping them navigate their cancer experience confidently.
