Oncological Nursing Care

Professional nursing care, provided by oncology-trained nurses, is dedicated to treating, advising, and supporting cancer patients and their families throughout all stages of the disease, in a targeted and autonomous manner. Approximately 85% of oncological therapies are administered on an outpatient basis.

At Centro Seno Ticino, nurses work closely with medical oncologists and Breast Care Nurses. All nurses have specialized oncology training and several years of experience in the field, enabling them to respond holistically to the needs of patients and their families, while also helping to reduce disease symptoms and/or side effects of treatments.

What this means for you:

Minimization of hair loss
during chemotherapy using the “Paxman” scalp cooling system. We have three “Paxman” devices with six cooling stations available for our patients.

Support and guidance
