At Nova Scotia Health, cancer care professionals collaborate closely with patients and their families to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to the specific type and stage of cancer. These professionals, including oncologists, nurses, radiologists, and support staff, administer various treatment modalities such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. 

They also offer supportive care services, including symptom management, pain relief, and emotional support throughout the treatment journey. Furthermore, cancer care professionals play a crucial role in educating patients about their condition, treatment options, and available support resources to empower them to make informed decisions and cope effectively with their diagnosis.
