Individualized care plans for each patient
Utilization of evidence-based clinical pathways for enhanced recovery
Multidisciplinary care through:
- Multidisciplinary Clinics (MDC): Sometimes, surgery is only one part of the treatment plan, especially in cancer cases. Multidisciplinary clinics are designed for patients who may need additional non-surgical treatment before or after surgery. During these appointments, patients can see both surgical and non-surgical specialists simultaneously. This approach allows us to provide an integrated and comprehensive treatment plan.
- Tumor Board Conferences: Surgical decision-making often requires input from other specialists. Tumor Board Conferences bring all specialists involved in a patient’s care together to review the patient’s case in detail and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
