Multi-Disciplinary Care in Cervical Cancer
It is important that cervical cancer is managed by a team of experienced gynaecological cancer specialists. The gynae-oncologist coordinates the entire care of the patient, working closely with his other colleagues to ensure timely and integrated treatment. A compassionate and responsive team of nurses, therapists and clinic staff is also essential to ensure that patients receive close support during this vulnerable period of their lives.
