Medical oncology in Bergamo: Life Clinic's approach to cancer prevention

A cancer diagnosis can disrupt a person's life, generating fear, uncertainty and countless questions. In these moments, having a team of competent, up-to-date and attentive specialists by one's side can make all the difference. This is the philosophy that guides the medical oncology of Life Clinic in Bergamo, a center of excellence in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

What does an oncologist do? The physician who deals with the treatment of cancer.

The oncologist, the cancer care physician, is a specialist who is responsible for the complete management of the cancer patient, from diagnosis to treatment to follow-up. His task is to detect the presence of a tumor, study its evolution, and define the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual case.

Specifically, the oncologist deals with:

• Diagnosis and staging of cancers through clinical, instrumental, and laboratory examinations
• Defining the personalized treatment plan, which may include chemotherapy, target therapies, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, and supportive therapies
• Monitoring response to therapy and managing any side effects
• Collaboration with other specialists (surgeons, radiation therapists, psychologists) to ensure multidisciplinary care
• Information and support for the patient and family members throughout the care pathway

Tailored approach for each cancer patient

In oncology, no two patients are the same. Each person has a unique medical history, genetic profile and needs that require a personalized approach. Life Clinic oncologists are experts in developing tailored treatment plans based on a thorough evaluation of multiple factors, such as the type and stage of the tumor, the patient's age and general condition, any comorbidities, and individual preferences.

By integrating multidisciplinary expertise and advanced technologies, our team is able to define the optimal therapeutic strategy for each patient, flexibly combining different treatment options, such as chemotherapy, target therapies, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, and supportive therapies. The goal is to achieve the best possible outcomes in terms of disease control and quality of life.

Comprehensive support for the patient and family

At Life Clinic, we understand that cancer care does not end with the administration of treatment, but requires comprehensive support for the patient and his or her family. Therefore, our medical oncology department employs a multidisciplinary team of professionals, including not only oncologists and specialized nurses, but also psychologists, nutritionists, physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists.

Our psychologists offer emotional and psychological support to patients and their loved ones, helping them cope with the impact of diagnosis, manage treatment-related stress, and regain balance in daily life. Nutritionists, on the other hand, provide personalized advice to stay healthy during and after treatments, preventing malnutrition and supporting the immune system.

In addition, our oncologist collaborates with palliative care and home care services to ensure that patients with advanced disease are as comfortable and have the best possible quality of life, even at the most delicate stages of the treatment journey.

Psychological support and rehabilitation programs

Life Clinic recognizes the importance of psychological aspects and quality of life in the cancer patient's course of treatment. For this reason, our medical oncology department collaborates closely with psychocologists and rehabilitation specialists to offer patients and their families the support they need to cope with the disease and its consequences, promoting the recovery of physical and emotional well-being.

When you choose Life Clinic's oncologists, you can count on a top-notch team of specialists, a cutting-edge approach and innovative technologies to receive the best care available in a welcoming environment where constant attention is paid to your quality of life and overall well-being.
