Patient information

Can we cure? Often. Can we care? Always.

IBA is a worldwide company fighting cancer every day by developing leading edge radiopharmaceutical and technological solutions to Protect, Enhance and Save Lives.

Even tough IBA constantly shares its knowledge with practitioners in the field of oncology and it subspecialties, it is neither our mission nor our expertise to appropriately inform people on cancer.
Nonetheless, as you are reading these words, you should benefit from IBA's insights and 20+ years of work together with major oncology institutions and practitioners.

Cancer, as well as main major illnesses we face in the 21st century, is very complex. (E.g. Cancer is a general term that covers more than 1000 different illnesses, each of them being handled differently)
On top of that, it is really important to know that cancer treatment involves as much medical care as social and psychological support.

Therefore, the sole advice we are able to give you through a medium such as this internet webpage is to talk to your practitioner.
Usually, a medical team in oncology is composed of an oncologist, a radiologist, a radiotherapist, a psychologist, a surgeon and nurses. Each of these specialists are trained and own the required skills to address any of your concerns.
Therefore, if you have any concerns for yourself or for your kin, address them to an expert to avoid being misled by information that might not apply to you.
