Abstract

Cancers are the second most common cause of death in Poland. Survival depends mainly on their early detection and initiation of treatment. In Poland, the effects of treatment are poor compared to other European countries. In order to improve the treatment of cancer, in 2015 regulations introduced as so-called oncology package under which the consilium was legally established as a multidisciplinary therapeutic team. The task of a separate team of medical specialist is to define an individual oncological treatment plan.
