Follow-up Care

Even after recovering from cancer patients keep fearing that the tumour might recur or metastasise. Regular follow-up examinations can help to eliminate this fear. In the Hospital SanaFontis we ensure an individualised follow-up that is tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs.

We give our patients comprehensive information on the risks and benefits of each procedure and make recommendations. Aftercare and follow-up are organised in close co-operation with the family physician and pursue the following aims:

Emotional support and medical care
Supportive therapy (e.g. hormone therapy)
Education and information regarding lifestyle, diet, exercise and stress management, etc.
Treatment of therapy-related conditions (e.g. menopausal symptoms after hormone suppression, lymphatic oedema, incontinence, neural irritation, fatigue)
If needed, initiation of psycho-oncological or rehabilitation therapy
Early detection of relapses and metastases
Prevention of long-term injuries (e.g. osteoporosis, postural damage)
