Unit Profile
The Registered Nurse provides ongoing support and care to patients in the Lung Diagnostic Assessment Program (LDAP), Colorectal Diagnostic Assessment Program (CDAP) and the Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) outpatient clinics at OTMH. This nurse ensures that patients receive the resources and education they need to manage their condition. They also play a critical role in coordinating care between our different specialties and ensuring that our patients receive the best possible care.
These Diagnostic Assessment Programs are designed to evaluate individuals who may have symptoms or concerns related to lung cancer (LDAP) or for patients that have been diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer (CDAP). Within these clinics we work closely with our patients to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs and concerns. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and timely streamlined approach to complete all required investigations within the guidelines of Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) and reduce patient wait times and worries.
The Oakville MPE Clinic provides patients with a central point of contact from initial investigations and therapeutic interventions to ongoing follow up of symptoms related to their malignant pleural effusions. We provide innovative and novel intervention techniques including tunneled pleural catheters and ultrasound guided thoracentesis to help with symptom management. Our goal is to provide patients with symptom relief and focus on ensuring quality of life is met including a focus on maintaining time in their home environment.
