Decatur, TX – Cancer patients and survivors require more than just a treatment and therapy to overcome the trauma. The road to recovery may not be easy but with the right kind of support and care, patients may be able to find the energy and will to get back to a normal life.

Dr. Gregory Echt, the founder of North Texas Cancer Care Center at Wise, believes that the choice of a care center is one of the most important decisions for cancer patients and their families. He recently shared vital information about the important aspects that patients or their loved ones should focus on when looking for a cancer care center.

Here are a few factors he highlighted:

• Relevant Experience: Dr. Echt stated that there are numerous types of cancer and not all oncologists specialize in each and every one of them. Most cancer care centers are only efficient in treating certain common cancers but may not have the expertise or experience to manage or treat other less common types.

• Success Rate: There is no harm in looking for referrals when finding a cancer care facility. Patients should talk to other patients who are being treated or have been previously treated at the center, as they can offer a more unbiased review.

• Family Support: Caregivers should understand that the families go through a tough time and trauma as well. There should be a program that involves offering support to the families and providing them the right resources to take care of the patient.

• Advanced Treatment: The importance of treatment is undeniable. The best cancer care centers in North Texas, utilize the most advanced technologies and treatments. The oncologists should be able to choose the right treatment depending on the patient’s condition.

Dr. Echt stated that staff members and oncologists of the care centers should offer honest and complete information to patients choosing their facilities. “There should be no secrets and lies. Patients respond better to treatment when they are able to trust the team they are being treated and cared by. At North Texas Cancer Center, at Wise, it is our priority to make our patients feel comfortable and more confident about the care and treatment they are about to receive.”
