Cancers

Health is the greatest value and a kind of exceptional personal good, and at the same time a human right requiring the highest protection. Over the years, numerous concepts regarding health and the principles of how to care for it have been developed. Recently, it has been clearly seen that an incorrect lifestyle has a negative impact on health, both among women and among men. It causes an increase in the number of diseases in society, including cancer.

In Poland, the number of cancer patients, commonly known as cancer, has been at a high level for a long time. In our country, they are the second, after cardiovascular diseases, the main cause of death, as in the whole world, and the percentage of people suffering from cancer is significantly increasing. The COVID-19 pandemic, which appeared at the end of 2019, led to the reorganization of the entire health care system, and above all to the disruption of the functioning of oncological care. She also made people aware that cancer prevention is as important as the time of their treatment.

For over 25 years of activity in Poland, Medicover has focused on providing the best medical care. We ensure its highest quality and patient safety. Considering how important a challenge for public health is cancer, we have developed a Prevention and Oncological Care Program. We created it with our patients, their families and loved ones in mind, as well as all those who have come across cancer in their lives or want to broaden their knowledge about it. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the assumptions of the program. This will allow you to prevent cancer more effectively, and if it appears - to start comprehensive and coordinated treatment right away.

The Medicover Cancer Prevention and Care Program is based on 8 pillars:

Access to knowledge - a compendium of medical and preventive articles aimed at educating about the mechanisms of cancer formation and recognizing its early symptoms
Prevention and screening – a set of simple actions that each of us can take to minimize the risk of developing cancer
DNA-Based Testing - fact sheet on counseling and types of genetic testing for cancer
Onko-Medi-Cover care - coordinated care for a patient with suspected or diagnosed cancer
Diagnostics of symptoms - characteristics of tools for quick, safe and effective detection of cancer
Cancer treatment - description of modern therapeutic methods and standards
Psychological support - a set of tips and tools: how to tame cancer and where to look for psychological help
Care after treatment - a plan of necessary recommendations for people who have completed oncological treatment.

Knowledge Base

Are you an oncology patient? Or maybe one of your relatives recently found out about your or their illness? The process of diagnosis and treatment seems complicated to you? Is it hard to figure out? Or maybe the information provided by the doctor is not always understandable?

We have created an oncology knowledge base for everyone looking for information about cancer. It is an online encyclopedia of knowledge about cancer, addressed not only to oncological patients, but also to their families, relatives or healthy people who are interested in this topic. It contains educational materials on cancer detection, its most common symptoms, diagnosis and the mechanisms of cancer formation.

Patients diagnosed with cancer need time to get used to the information about the disease. For most of them, this is a very difficult time, filled with various emotions. Feelings such as fear or anger accompany patients throughout the entire period of the disease. Emotions also affect the level of mental energy. They lower it and make it difficult for the sick person to accept or understand the medical information he receives from his doctor.

In our knowledge base you will find desc.riptions of all the most common cancer diseases, preventive articles and psychological materials that will prepare you to go through this difficult path of living with the disease, and will also help you sort out your emotions. We hope that this database will be your guide through the entire process of diagnosis and treatment. We believe that it will also support you right after its completion, and according to it you will create your own way of thinking about the disease. Reliable information will help you understand and tame cancer and survive hard times. Remember that cancer is not a sentence, and a specially created Medicover knowledge base can help you function in a new situation.
