Adjunct cancer support services
Highest quality of care with the highest level of expertise.
We have a referral network for innovative radiotherapy. Radiation therapy can be given as a primary therapy or combined with chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, surgery, or adjunct cancer support services.
Our centre is located within a licensed medical building that is able to provide surgical services, endoscopic services, other medical services (cardiology, nephrology, internal medicine, surgery, gynecology), breast care services, and allied health services (physiotherapy, nutrition).
By combining advanced imaging technology with different radiation beam intensities, tumors can be radiated while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
FAQ
What are adjunct or complementary cancer support services?
Adjunct services include nutrition counseling, physical therapy, mental health support, and integrative therapies like acupuncture. These support overall well-being during and after treatment.
How can nutrition support improve cancer outcomes?
Proper nutrition helps maintain strength, improve immune function, reduce treatment side effects, and promote recovery. We provide personalized nutrition plans for each patient.
Are alternative therapies safe during cancer treatment?
When guided by professionals, integrative therapies like massage, mindfulness, and acupuncture can be safely used to relieve symptoms. Always consult your oncologist first.
Can I receive integrative therapies alongside chemotherapy or radiation?
Yes, our team carefully coordinates complementary therapies with your medical treatment to ensure they are safe and beneficial without interference.
How often should I meet with a nutritionist or counselor?
Visit frequency depends on your needs, treatment stage, and overall health. We offer regular check-ins to adjust support as your condition evolves.
What lifestyle changes can support my cancer recovery?
Healthy eating, regular activity, stress management, and quitting tobacco are key lifestyle habits that can enhance your recovery and reduce recurrence risk.
What is adjunctive cancer care?
Adjunctive cancer care refers to supportive services used alongside primary cancer treatments like chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. These may include nutrition therapy, mental health counseling, physical therapy, or integrative medicine to help improve the patient’s quality of life and overall outcomes.
What are the supports for cancer patients?
Support for cancer patients includes a wide range of services such as nutritional guidance, pain management, psychosocial support, rehabilitation, and palliative care. Onco Life Centre’s adjunct cancer support program is designed to address the emotional, physical, and social challenges of cancer.
What is the difference between adjunct and adjuvant therapy?
Adjuvant therapy is a medical treatment (like chemotherapy or radiation) given after surgery to prevent cancer from returning. Adjunct therapy, on the other hand, refers to non-primary treatments like lifestyle counseling, massage, or stress reduction strategies that support overall health during or after treatment.
