You’ve probably heard the term ‘treatment team’ but what does it actually mean?
A treatment team may include a medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, specialist surgeon, oncology/chemotherapy nurse, breast care nurses and your general Practitioner (GP). The team meets regularly to manage your personalised treatment plan and ongoing care.
