Overview
About the Oncology & Day-Care Chemotherapy department
Every cancer patient at CM Hospital is discussed in a multidisciplinary tumour board before treatment begins. Surgical, medical and radiation oncologists sit alongside radiologists and pathologists to agree on a single, evidence-based plan — and a nurse navigator stays with you through the whole journey.

Treated in this department
“Eighteen months of chemotherapy is a long road. My nurse navigator called me before every cycle, sorted out my insurance and remembered my daughter's name. That is the part I will never forget.”
