This is how you can get cancer treatment in Tyks
You need a doctor's referral to access specialized medical treatment. Cancer treatment is always started urgently, so referrals to the hospital are processed without delay. The cancer centre monitors the implementation of cancer treatment by monitoring the time that elapses from the arrival of the patient's referral to the first treatment contact.
