Program for patients of the Cross Cancer Institute who are having problems with pain or other symptoms from cancer.
The Pain and Symptom Control Program is for patients of the Cross Cancer Institute who are having problems with pain or other symptoms from cancer. Depending on needs, a patient may see either several team members during a half-day appointment, or only a few team members during a shorter appointment. The patient is followed by the team until pain or other symptoms improve. Management is then continued by the primary care phsysician or nurse practitioner.
