At Amethyst Timișoara, 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 Timișoara 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 Timișoara 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.
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.
