Homepage Oncology Melanoma patient pathway at NIO Gliwice

The moment of melanoma diagnosis is always very difficult for the patient. There is fear of the unknown, fear of treatment and concern for loved ones and the future. These emotions are natural. To help patients deal with them more easily, we have prepared a step-by-step report that shows the path of melanoma diagnosis and treatment.

Thanks to the kindness and great commitment of the Skin Cancer and Melanoma Team from the Gliwice branch of the National Cancer Institute, we can show the fate of a patient diagnosed with melanoma. In our film, we get to know the specialists involved in diagnosing and treating melanoma, take a look into the imaging and genetics lab, and find out what radiotherapy is like for melanoma patients.

Treating melanoma is a complex process that requires the collaboration of many specialists. Their task is to accurately identify the disease in order to propose a treatment tailored to the patient. In our report, walking the corridors of the institute in Gliwice, we meet not only doctors, but also patients, nurses and oncology treatment coordinators. They all form a team that fights for the health of patients.
