The most important weapon against cancer is prevention.
The medical community has established secondary prevention protocols for the early diagnosis of types of cancer, which occur most frequently in the general population.
The earlier a malignancy is diagnosed and treated, the better the results.

FAQs
Is vaccination of oncological patients important?
Cancer patients, due to the treatments they receive and the disease itself, are immunocompromised. This means that their organism is vulnerable and cannot fight off infections and diseases.
For this reason, we need to protect him. In this regard, preventive vaccination plays a key role. Infections for which vaccination is recommended are:
- COVID-19
- Influenza
- Pneumococcus
- Herpes zoster
The timing and frequency of each vaccination is done in consultation with the responsible physician.

Do you also provide care to end-stage patients?
Cancer disease is psychopathic and painful. Many times the outcome is not positive. We know how difficult the patient has to deal with, at all levels. That's why we attach great importance to patient care, to the end.
The problems that a terminal patient may experience are physical (pain, weakness, gastrointestinal problems, seizures, infections, etc.), mental and practical (financial problems, inability to take care of the home).
Our team tries in every possible way to solve these problems and to relieve the patient. We take care of the provision of home care, through a team of trained doctors and nurses, as well as the possibility of palliative support within the facilities of our clinic.
Experienced doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and mental health specialists are at the disposal of the sufferer to make this stage of the disease as painless as possible.

Are there preventive tests for cancer?
Perhaps the most important weapon against cancer is prevention. The medical community has established secondary prevention protocols for the early diagnosis of types of cancer, which occur most frequently in the general population.
The earlier a malignancy is diagnosed and treated, the better the results. The malignancies for which prevention programs have been established, are:
Breast cancer
The screening is performed on women 40 -74 years old, with a mammogram every other year. Clinical examination and ultrasound are recommended from the age of 25 years and older. In high-risk women, preventive screening with mammography begins at an earlier age.
Cervical cancer
It is recommended for women 21-65 years old. At the ages of 21-30 years, a cytological smear test (Pap smear) is performed every three years. In the age group over 30 years, a combination of cytological and HPV DNA testing is performed every three years.
Colon cancer
In Greece, the audit is carried out in one of two ways:
- Fecal Immunohistochemistry test (FIT), Feacal Immunohistochemistry test (FIT), from the 50th year, annually, for 3 years. After that, the examination is repeated every 2 years, until 75 years. When there is a family history or other risk factor, the examination is carried out annually from the 40th year.
- Colonoscopy, from 50 to 75 years, for 5 years. When there is a family history or other high risk factor, screening begins in the 40th year and occurs more frequently.
Cancer in the lung
A low-dose CT scan is performed annually, in smokers aged 50-80 years, as well as in people who have quit smoking in the past 15 years.
Prostate cancer
Periodic blood testing of the PSA indicator, as well as finger examination of the prostate, is recommended in men aged 40-70 years.

What should I expect during my visit to the doctor?
We evaluate all tests submitted by the patient.
A complete history (medication, hereditary, family history) is taken and supplemented with additional tests if needed.
In many types of cancer, an additional molecular examination is performed to check the molecular profile of the tumor and to select a treatment that is more specific, more effective and with fewer side effects.
