The center employs a high-sensitivity fully automated detection platform to ensure accurate and timely data.
Psychological, Nutritional, and Traditional Chinese Medicine Support Services
At HeYou, we understand that prostate cancer treatment involves not only controlling the tumor itself but also the patient's overall health, psychological state, and quality of life. Therefore, the center has established a "Holistic Patient Care System" composed of multidisciplinary support teams including Psychology, Nutrition, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, providing comprehensive care for patients and their families.
-
Psychological Support
