Healthcare

Support and palliative care

Because cancer treatment is not limited to medical care, Gustave Roussy offers comprehensive support designed to improve the quality of life for patients and their loved ones at every stage of their care journey. Supportive care complements treatment to prevent or alleviate its physical, psychological, and social effects, and to help everyone live as well as possible with the disease. 

It involves a wide range of specialized professionals: psychologists, dietitians, physical therapists, pain management specialists, addiction specialists, palliative care teams, experts in photobiomodulation, and staff from the “Living Better with Cancer” program.

Supportive care is never a substitute for cancer treatment. It complements cancer treatment to better address the physical, psychological, and social consequences of the disease and to help each patient remain an active participant in their own care.
