How CureCancer - mycancer.gr was born

For years we have been accepting people in treatment or with a history of cancer at the clinic. We found that, very often, people didn't know what medicines they were taking to help us relate their symptoms to those medicines so we could give them the right treatment. At the same time, telephone communication with their doctor had no effect, because he did not remember the medication. We therefore faced difficulties in accessing patients' medical history, which limited the provision of supportive care. Based on these difficulties, CureCancer - mycancer.gr was born.

CureCancer - mycancer.gr is supported

What CureCancer - mycancer.gr offers

CureCancer - mycancer.gr is a patient-centric platform, operated by the cancer patient himself. It offers holistic supportive care and cancer prevention to patients and their families.

Timely reporting of symptoms by the patient himself will lead to early diagnosis and successful and effective treatment. In addition, the data recorded by the patient will help to evaluate the social, work and economic problems after the diagnosis of cancer and to more accurately draw up the Health policy.
