Alleviating the side effects of cancer treatment
MANILA, Philippines - For cancer patients, managing the side effects is as important as addressing the cancer itself. According to doctors, side effects can compromise treatment and even recovery. Dr. Maria Luisa Abesamis-Tiambeng, head of the CSMC Cancer Institute, says, “The psychological scars caused by the physical manifestations of treatment, like rashes, skin discoloration, blackened nails, and falling hair erode patients’ self-esteem and the will to fight. Products like Evolife can help make patients commit to their treatment regimen and achieve the ultimate cure. These innovative products can prove crucial in licking the Big C.”
In a concerted effort to alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Point of Care Solutions Inc. (PCSI), in partnership with United Laboratories, recently introduced Evolife products to the Philippines.
PCSI is the exclusive distributor of Evolife’s full range of cancer-support care products that treat the cutaneous and cutaneous-mucous side effects induced by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
“Evolife products contain a unique blend of natural minerals that provide premium hydration and protection for patients undergoing cancer treatment. They are the first and only products of their kind that are effective, uniquely designed with the needs of cancer patients in mind, and they are well tested,” says oncologist J.F. Chanez in “The Neurogenic Component of Cutaneous Toxicities Induced by Chemotherapy – New Solutions,”European Oncology Journal, Vol 6:1, 28-30.
Michael S. Avelino, managing director of Point of Care Solutions, Inc., said, “As the company’s initial offering, Evolife products deliver the company’s passion and commitment to help cancer patients improve their quality of life.”
