Centre for Integrative, Complementary Medicine & TCM (ZIMT)
Thanks to advances in medicine, more people can now be successfully treated for cancer and live longer. Nevertheless, late effects or side effects of the therapies can be a considerable burden for those affected. We do not want to leave you and your relatives alone during this phase and would like to support you.
The term "cancer survivorship" covers all people who have been diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. Cancer survivors can either be considered cured or live with (chronic) cancer. The possible late effects are manifold and can severely impair quality of life. Every person and every situation is unique. Some feel largely symptom-free, others struggle with the effects of the disease and its treatment. These challenges affect not only those affected, but also their relatives.
Our services include
A counselling service for cancer patients
The needs of cancer survivors are diverse and depend on the individual situation and type of cancer. A comprehensive approach that takes into account medical, psychosocial and lifestyle aspects is crucial for the long-term health and quality of life of cancer survivors.
Our goals:
- Making clear decisions about your health
- Active participation in your own recovery
- Development of self-care
- Building knowledge and skills for your own coping strategies
