The Personalized Care Plan

The patient will be given a Personalized Care Plan (PPS) which is a theoretical treatment program that can be completed, modified or even replaced. It includes the treatment decision, the name of the referring doctor for each treatment (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy), the treatment schedule and the places of care, additional examinations and other supportive care offered. Thus, each patient benefits from an adapted treatment path.

Supportive care is an integral part of your care journey at the ICM and accompanies you at every stage of your illness, during and after cancer treatment, but also sometimes when cancer treatments no longer have the expected effect.
Your quality of life can be affected not only by the disease, but also by the side effects of the treatments and sometimes by the consequences of these treatments.
Comprehensive support in supportive care then makes it possible to take better account of the physical symptoms and psychosocial difficulties that you and your loved ones may encounter.
