The Gemelli, since its creation in 1964, has always devoted a pioneering attention to Oncology and over the years it has developed an integrated network of reception, diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation services, showing a continuous ability in innovation. The Gemelli has always been aware that the health care provided to these patients does not only concern the disease’s care management, but also requires a “global management<\/strong>“, aimed at recognizing and alleviating psychological and relational problems, which can influence the course of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from this philosophy, which is expressed in the avant-garde activity of Medical Oncology, Surgery, Interventional Radiology and Radiotherapy, the Gemelli avails itself of the Comprehensive Cancer Center<\/strong> to better organize all the Foundation’s structures  that carry out oncological activities, reinforcing the principle of a lifelong clinical-heathcare pathway for the patient. This is made possible by a staff with integrated skills, professional figures such as psycho-oncologist and nutritionist, introduction of personalized programmes and humanization of care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinical-healthcare pathways<\/strong>, specific to each disease, are currently in place for cancer patients. This makes possible a complete integration between the various specialists, according to a patient-centered multidisciplinary approach. The coordination with all the General Hospital’s structures allows to offer a global response to the patients’ health demand, making use of the most advanced equipment, useful both in the diagnostic phase (latest generation multi-layer CT, PET-CT) and in the therapeutic phase (three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiotherapy and stereotactic radiotherapy, increasingly personalized drugs and treatments based on the molecular target).<\/p>\n\n\n
