A cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming experience, not only for the patient but also for their family and friends. Uncertainty about treatment options, complex medical terms, and decisions that need to be made can add to the emotional toll. This is where the Targeting Cancer initiative steps in. Led by RANZCR, in partnership with the Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (ASMIRT) and New Zealand Institute of Medical Radiation Technology (NZIMRT), Targeting Cancer aims to provide a comprehensive and compassionate resource hub for people affected by cancer, guiding them from diagnosis through to post-treatment care.
What is the Targeting Cancer Initiative?
Targeting Cancer is committed to making sure patients and their families don’t have to face cancer alone. By visiting our website, you’ll find a wealth of information about radiation therapy and its vital role in cancer care. Our resources include patient stories, expert guidance, treatment overviews, and tools to help you understand each step of the journey, whether you’re navigating your own treatment or supporting a loved one.
Understanding The Treatment Options Available to You
Radiation therapy is an important part of cancer treatment, used in many types of cancers to target and destroy cancer cells with precision. Our Targeting Cancer initiative believes that the first step, understanding what your treatment options are, is crucial. That’s why we provide resources that simplify the complex aspects of radiation therapy, helping you understand what to expect and feel empowered in your choices. Our information is designed to help you feel informed and supported, from the initial diagnosis through to life after treatment.
