cancer care teams

Cancer care teams are composed of different healthcare professionals working together to plan and deliver treatment tailored to a patient's needs. This team typically includes oncologists (cancer specialists), surgeons, radiation therapists, nurses, social workers, nutritionists, and sometimes psychologists. They collaborate to diagnose, develop treatment plans, manage side effects, and provide emotional and practical support. The goal is to ensure comprehensive, coordinated care that addresses the medical and emotional aspects of cancer, improving outcomes and quality of life for patients throughout their journey.
