Nursing Section Patient Follow-up

At HIBMC, it is our goal to confirm the effect of the treatment, detect relapse or metastasis at an early stage, and ascertain whether the patient is experiencing any side effects. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to make regular visits to their primary hospital to check on his/her progress.

After the therapy at HIBMC, we have the patient receive regular examinations at his/her primary hospital and send the test results and the "Patient Chart" to HIBMC so that we can follow the patient's progress along with his/her primary hospital.

We offer advice on post-therapy care methods and consultations for various concerns regarding particle beam radiation therapy.
