Welcome

Medical Oncologist David G. Symeonidis, having extensive experience and expertise in the field of oncology, confronts the disease of cancer by applying modern treatments based on international guidelines. Each patient follows an individualized treatment, about which the patient is fully informed.

The team is constantly updated on evolving therapeutic methods, as it also participates in International Clinical Studies approved by the National Medicines Agency. The many years of experience in International Clinical Studies guarantee the safety of the patient and his full information during all stages of the disease.

Patient care – in addition to personalized and modern therapeutic methods – also includes dealing with the side effects resulting from them, so that the patient has the best possible quality of life.

Clinical Examination

Patients have the possibility to come after contacting the Metropolitan General (Athens), or to the private clinics in Piraeus-Attiki and Argos, Argolis, Peloponnese

Patients can be treated either in Piraeus Medical center or Metropolitan General

Areas of expertise

Once cancer is diagnosed, medical Oncologist should discuss the diagnosis with his oncology team and together determine the best course of treatment.

Prevention

Prevention is the top of the pyramid. New monitoring protocols are constantly updated based on the findings of international studies. Breast, lung, colon, prostate cancer are some of the diseases that are subject to strict preventive monitoring. We do not neglect that prevention is the most important element, a visit to the doctor’s office for preventive information can only be beneficial.

counseling

Patients are often faced with a wealth of information that circulates on the internet, mainly as a result of which anxiety and fear overwhelm them. In fact, every citizen who wants to be informed can find himself at the point of not distinguishing what is clinically thorough and what is not. For any question, do not hesitate to contact our department, there are no pointless questions in a subject as important as cancer.

Inheritance

Heredity is an important part of any neoplastic disease. A correct family tree can not only answer us about the chances of a cancer diagnosis, but also completely changes the way of preventive monitoring. As a result, our health is under closer control that includes imaging tests and genetic testing. We have each means of molecular and genetic control individually tailored to each case.

Diagnosis

Many tests are not always the solution. Targeted, depending on the findings we have at our disposal, faithfully following the European and American guidelines, we use every diagnostic tool in collaboration with special centers to arrive safely at the correct and above all timely diagnosis. This is the first and important step. Our team, in close contact with scientists of various specialties, interprets every laboratory and imaging finding with care and diligence.

Treatment

The development in therapeutic methods is truly remarkable. New types of treatments, targeted therapies based on genes and other molecular effects provide each patient with the best outcome. In each treatment, the patient is always informed about his treatment plan and possible side effects, while our team includes scientists who support each of our patients nutritionally, aesthetically, psychologically.

Follow-up

Cancer as a disease does not end with the last treatment. Monitoring is the responsibility of both the doctor and the patient. Following the appropriate protocols, the patient is under continuous monitoring. Unfortunately, in many cases the recurrence rates are high, which is why, through the electronic patient file we have, strict and detailed instructions are given for the following examination plan.
