Our activities are in pace with RCGLD strategies and include the following three fields:
Education
To date our educational activities have primarily aimed at cancer patients though we are considering some education programs for physicians in the future too.
We have already established a patient education team who have provided several educational pamphlets for GI cancer patients. They have also held some monthly discussion sessions for these patients and their family members.
We hope that our patient education pamphlets will soon be on line in "For Patients" page in Farsi section of main RCGLD web site.
All our pamphlets are in Farsi.
Patient Care We take care of both outpatients and inpatients in RCGLD related clinics and the GI ward both located in Taleghani Hospital, Tehran Iran.
We use high-tech instruments for diagnosis and therapy of GI cancers patients and benefit from well experienced personnel to provide the best care in the field of GI cancer diagnosis, follow up and treatment.
Our close collaboration with the patient care clinics also play an important role in providing us a good source of GI cases to supply our research machine.
Genetic Counseling We consider genetic counseling, which is one of the most effective tasks in early diagnosis and prevention of cancers in relatives of familial or hereditary cancer patients, as one of our major goals.
For this purpose, our well trained staff admit patients and provide their relatives with the appropriate genetic counseling services and in this manner we illustrate pedigree, take family history and perform genetic testing whenever appropriate.
We work in collaboration with Taleghani hospital gastroenterology clinic and use their diagnostic and follow up facilities. We also benefit from the modern laboratory complex of of RCGLD.
