Comprehensive Oncology Services Center

The center serves oncology patients who require long-term, complex, or cross-stage treatment, focusing on combinations of multiple treatment modalities, the use of innovative and imported medicines, day infusion, and symptom management during treatment. Relying on Guangzhou United Family Hospital’s pharmaceutical, pharmacy, day-treatment, and inpatient support capabilities, patients can complete treatment-plan assessment, in-hospital treatment, and subsequent follow-up under the management of the same medical team. For patients requiring medicines related to the Hong Kong–Macao Medicine and Medical Device Connect program, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or antibody–drug conjugates, the center may arrange medication use and treatment according to indications and hospital protocols. Case managers can assist with coordinating examinations, pathology and imaging records, multidisciplinary consultations, treatment cycles, and follow-up milestones, reducing information and scheduling gaps during the complex treatment process.

Center specialties Assessment of combined treatment plans Cancer treatment may require a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, antibody–drug conjugates, supportive treatment, and local treatment. Based on the patient’s pathological type, stage, genetic testing results, previous treatment history, physical condition, and treatment goals, the center organizes comprehensive assessment by oncology, surgery, imaging, pathology, pharmacy, nutrition, rehabilitation, and other teams to help patients clarify the treatment direction appropriate for the current stage and the treatment arrangements that can be undertaken in the hospital.

Treatment with innovative and imported medicines Guangzhou United Family Hospital has the capacity to compliantly use certain innovative medicines, imported originator medicines, and medicines related to the Hong Kong–Macao Medicine and Medical Device Connect program, and to provide corresponding in-hospital treatment. For patients requiring targeted therapy, immunotherapy, antibody–drug conjugates, biologics, or supportive-treatment medicines, oncologists, pharmacists, nurses, and the case management team may jointly complete indication review, medication-plan development, medicine coordination, infusion arrangements, adverse-reaction monitoring, and follow-up. Use of the relevant medicines is subject to national and hospital compliance requirements, drug indications, physician assessment, and Pharmacy Department review.

Case management during diagnosis and treatment Oncology patients often need repeated coordination among medical-record organization, repeat imaging, pathology consultations, genetic testing, medication assessment, infusion arrangements, fee communication, and follow-up. The center provides case management services. Case managers help patients organize previous records, schedule examinations and consultations, follow treatment arrangements, remind them of repeat-examination milestones, and coordinate within the hospital among physicians, nursing, pharmacy, finance, insurance, and customer service, reducing information and scheduling gaps during the treatment process.

Day infusion treatment services For patients assessed by physicians as suitable for day treatment, the center can provide chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, bone-protection therapy, supportive treatment, and related infusion services. Before treatment, physicians assess examination results and medication use; pharmacists participate in medication review and medication guidance; during treatment, the nursing team observes vital signs and infusion reactions; and after treatment, follow-up visits, repeat examinations, and the next treatment-cycle plan are arranged according to the regimen.

Comfort-focused treatment and side-effect management The center emphasizes symptom control and quality-of-life management during cancer treatment. For nausea and vomiting, fatigue, pain, decreased appetite, bone marrow suppression, rash, diarrhea, neurotoxicity, and immune-related adverse reactions that may occur with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and other drug treatments, the oncology, nursing, pharmacy, nutrition, pain-management, and rehabilitation teams can jointly provide assessment, patient education, medication guidance, nutritional support, and follow-up recommendations.
