Successful cancer treatment depends on specialists from several medical fields working together. The Amethyst Satu Mare team brings together radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, radiologists, medical physicists, a psychologist and a nutritionist, all experienced in caring for cancer patients.
Treatment plans are agreed by the multidisciplinary oncology board (Tumor Board), where each case is assessed from several medical perspectives and treatment is tailored to each patient.

Consultant in Radiology and Medical Imaging,At Amethyst Satu Mare, patients find imaging, treatment planning and treatment delivery in one place, with services covered by the National Health Insurance Fund (CNAS).
Effective cancer treatment requires several specialists working together. At the Amethyst Satu Mare centre, patients' cases can be reviewed by a multidisciplinary board, where doctors from different specialties discuss the treatment options and agree on the treatment strategy.
This process, known as a Tumor Board, allows each case to be assessed from several medical perspectives before the treatment plan is proposed to the patient.
The Amethyst Satu Mare centre has its own closed-circuit pharmacy, where cancer medication for chemotherapy and immunotherapy is prepared by specialised staff, under controlled conditions, individually for each patient, according to the treatment plan set by the doctor.
The treatment is prepared in the same clinic where it is given, in day hospital care. Patients do not have to look for cytostatic drugs in pharmacies around town, which reduces the risk of delays between sessions.
The Amethyst Satu Mare centre gives patients from Satu Mare, Maramureș, Sălaj, Bihor and nearby areas regional access to cancer treatment and medical scans, when these are indicated.
Scans, planning and treatment all take place in the same clinic, with no travel between units and no intermediaries between the results and the treating doctor.
The effects of cancer treatment are not only physical. Patients, together with their families, have access to counselling and nutritional guidance throughout treatment.

Amethyst – Oncology Clinic Satu Mare
I had a very good experience at Amethyst Satu Mare. The medical staff are extremely professional, empathetic and attentive to patients’ needs. The doctors explain everything clearly and patiently, and the nurses are always kind and available, giving a sense of safety and trust at a difficult time.
The MRI service is very well organised, with modern equipment and specialised staff. The appointment time was kept, the scan was quick, and the explanations I received were clear and easy for a patient to understand. The atmosphere is calm, and the staff do everything they can to reduce stress and discomfort.
I confidently recommend this clinic for its professionalism, respect and genuine care for patients
