Tests, techniques and procedures
The techniques used and their indication are decided by the doctor, case by case. As a general guide:
- Oncology consultation before treatment
- Laboratory monitoring tests
- Administration as a day patient or during a hospital stay, depending on the protocol
- Supportive care
Depending on the medical indication, the technique concerned is offered within the Polycrabat Sevamed network. Its availability in a specific facility is confirmed by the coordination team on a case-by-case basis.
