At BASS Cancer Center, our Cancer Infusion Services, under the guidance of Dr. Maya Leiva are committed to providing you with comprehensive and compassionate care throughout your infusion therapy journey.
Cancer infusion is a vital aspect of cancer care, involving the administration of medications directly into the bloodstream. This method allows for targeted delivery of powerful therapies to combat cancer while minimizing the impact on the rest of your body.
Whether you're receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or other infusion treatments, our cancer infusion services are here to support you every step of the way.
Our Infusion Therapy service is a cornerstone of your cancer treatment journey, and here's why it matters
Make an AppointmentBefore starting infusion therapy, the doctor will assess your medical history, cancer type, and individual needs to create a personalized treatment plan that optimizes effectiveness and minimizes side effects.
Dr. Leiva and our team will explain the medications, their purposes, and potential side effects, as we believe informed patients are empowered when they ask questions and express concerns about their treatment.
The infusion session duration varies based on medications and the treatment plan. Our team will provide an estimated duration, aiming to ensure your comfort and efficiency in the infusion center.
After each infusion, our team will offer aftercare guidance, including monitoring potential side effects and home care steps. Dr. Leiva will schedule follow-ups to assess progress, address concerns, and adjust the treatment plan if necessary.
