CARE ONCOLOGY CLINIC
Treatments designed to complement and enhance systemic cancer therapy
Care Oncology Clinic offers cancer patients licensed medicines to take in conjunction with their conventional cancer treatment.
Building on the existing evidence base, leading institutions including Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre, the clinic’s scientists and doctors have developed combinations of well-tolerated medicines, to be taken alongside chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy or immunotherapy.
All the medications used are well understood, safe to take over extended periods, if required, and have a pharmacologically low side effect and drug interaction burden.
