Tele-healthcare helps in cancer diagnostics and treatment

A cancer tele-healthcare consultation center was established in the Samara Regional Clinical Cancer-Prevention Center.

Its main objectives are related to increasing accessibility of specialized medical assistance for the population and to raising medical assistance quality when formulating diagnoses and choosing treatment technologies with assistance of expert doctors from specialized medical institutions. Besides, participation in tele-healthcare sessions will help medical specialists to study more actively new medical technologies, to perfect their knowledge, and, in general, to undergo constant professional development.

During tele-healthcare consultations, a council assembles in the center comprised of doctors from the treatment-and-prophylactic institution receiving consultation and specialists from the Samara Regional Clinical Cancer-Prevention Center (surgeon, radiologist, chemotherapist). Consultations are aimed at developing the strategy of treating patients with malignant tumors, determination of the best algorithm of revision diagnostics and treatment, as well as expert revaluation of results of diagnostic examinations performed in the relevant treatment-and-prophylactic institution.
