QWhy do we call them community cancer centers?

AIbaraki Prefecture has decided to establish Ibaraki Regional Cancer Centers in hospitals in four regions of the prefecture, considering the convenience of the citizens of the prefecture as a comprehensive cancer control promotion plan.

QPlease tell me about cancer treatment.

ATreatment methods for cancer include surgical treatment (operation), radiotherapy, and drug treatment using anticancer drugs.
Each treatment has advantages and disadvantages, such as pain after surgery and side effects of anticancer drugs.
Therefore, by minimizing the disadvantages of each treatment method and using these treatments together, the maximum therapeutic effect can be obtained with a small disorder.
This is called multidisciplinary cancer treatment.
