Comprehensive Oncology Service Center

The Center serves cancer patients who require long-term, complex, or multi-phase treatment, with a focus on combination regimens, innovative and imported drugs, day infusion therapy, and symptom management during treatment. Leveraging Guangzhou United Family Hospital’s pharmaceutical resources, pharmacy services, day-treatment capabilities, and inpatient support, patients can receive treatment planning, in-hospital care, and follow-up under one integrated medical team.

For patients requiring drugs covered under the Hong Kong-Macao Drug and Medical Device Connect initiative, as well as targeted therapies, immunotherapies, or antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), the Center arranges treatment according to approved indications and hospital protocols. Case managers help coordinate laboratory testing, pathology and imaging records, multidisciplinary consultations, treatment cycles, and follow-up visits, reducing information gaps and scheduling disruptions throughout complex treatment journeys.

Center Highlights

Combined Treatment Regimen Evaluation

Cancer treatment often requires a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, ADCs, supportive care, and local therapies. Based on the patient’s pathology, disease stage, genetic testing results, prior treatment history, performance status, and treatment goals, the Center organizes comprehensive evaluations involving Oncology, Surgery, Imaging, Pathology, Pharmacy, Nutrition, and Rehabilitation teams to determine the most appropriate treatment strategy and in-hospital care options.

Innovative and Imported Drug Therapy

Guangzhou United Family Hospital is equipped to provide compliant access to selected innovative therapies, original imported drugs, and medications available through the Hong Kong-Macao Drug and Medical Device Connect initiative. For patients requiring targeted therapies, immunotherapies, ADCs, biologics, or supportive care medications, the Center brings together oncologists, pharmacists, nurses, and case managers to oversee indication review, treatment planning, medication coordination, infusion scheduling, adverse-event monitoring, and follow-up care. All medications are prescribed in accordance with national regulations, hospital policies, approved indications, physician assessment, and pharmacy verification requirements.

Case Management Throughout the Care Journey

Cancer patients often require repeated coordination of medical-record collection, imaging follow-up, pathology review, genetic testing, medication evaluation, infusion scheduling, cost discussions, and follow-up visits. The Center provides dedicated case-management services, with case managers assisting patients in organizing prior medical records, scheduling tests and consultations, tracking treatment plans, providing follow-up reminders, and coordinating among physicians, nursing staff, pharmacy, finance, insurance, and patient services teams to minimize information gaps and improve continuity of care.

Day Infusion Therapy

For patients deemed suitable for day treatment, the Center offers chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, bone-protective therapy, supportive care, and related infusion services. Before treatment, physicians review test results and medication plans, pharmacists participate in medication verification and counseling, nursing staff monitor vital signs and infusion-related reactions throughout treatment, and follow-up examinations and subsequent treatment cycles are scheduled according to established protocols.

 Comfort-Oriented Care and Side-Effect Management

The Center places strong emphasis on symptom control and quality of life throughout cancer treatment. For potential side effects associated with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and other medications, including nausea, vomiting, fatigue, pain, loss of appetite, myelosuppression, rash, diarrhea, neuropathy, and immune-related adverse events, the Center provides multidisciplinary assessment, patient education, medication guidance, nutritional support, and follow-up recommendations through collaboration among Oncology, Nursing, Pharmacy, Nutrition, Pain Management, and Rehabilitation teams.
