Support During Cancer Treatment

Provide Targeted Symptom Relief

Cancer treatment can be accompanied by various side effects and symptoms. The goal of supportive care is to detect, treat, and prevent these as early as possible.

At the Aargau Tumor Center, we support patients throughout their entire treatment with targeted supportive measures. This helps reduce symptoms and improve quality of life during therapy.
