Breast cancer treatment advancing in Jeddah

JEDDAH: Assessing the psychological needs of a patient can pave the way for high-quality breast cancer treatment.

“The psychological needs of breast cancer patients should be divided into a wide range of social, psychological and physical responsibilities for both the patient and her family. The evaluation of these needs should be a major step toward providing high-quality treatment, without focusing just on drug therapy,” said Ahmed Ali Saadeddin, consultant in clinical oncology and clinical tutor at the Department of Adult Oncology at King Abdul Aziz Medical City, National Guard Health Affairs in Riyadh.
