Increasing accessibility to integrated cancer care in Central Luzon

CENTRAL Luzon Integrated Oncology Centre (Clioc) General Manager Jerome Paule said, 'Integrated cancer care is key to a smooth patient care journey especially in the Philippines where quality treatments can be scattered across the large country.'

'Integrated cancer care means bringing together the delivery and management of services related to treatment with patients' interest as priority,' he added, noting that this helps reduce the gaps encountered by patients from diagnosis to treatment to post-surgery care.

Central Luzon Integrated Oncology Center is the only cancer center in Region 3 that offers tomotherapy, a radiation technology that allows doctors to target the radiation beams onto the diseased tissue without damaging normal tissue. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
