Oncology
Cancer is a complex diagnosis that poses exceptional challenges for patients and medical staff and involves interdisciplinary teams. For oncologists, nurses and pharmacists, cancer treatment has a different focus, but all are committed to improving their patients’ quality of life. By continuously developing smart, innovative solutions and services that simplify and standardise procedures, we contribute to safer therapies. We focus on patients’ needs and involve them into their treatments while protecting health.

Administering chemotherapy does not come without risks. B. Braun is committed to delivering a safer work environment.1 Our solutions for drug application in oncology are developed to help protect healthcare workers and patients from contamination with cytostatic agents.
Cancer treatment is emotionally and technically taxing and requires medication management that is efficient and works intuitively. B. Braun is committed to delivering a higher patient safety.2
Medication management in oncology does not end after the preparation of cytotoxics. It needs an efficient collaboration between the pharmacist, the physician, and the nurse. It also requires traceability along the treatment pathway to identify and to help to avoid medication errors.
Optimising workflows and using closed-system devices can minimise exposure to hazardous drugs thus contributing to the health and safety of all healthcare workers dealing daily with cytotoxics.
The clinical consequences of malnutrition in cancer patients can be higher infection rates, more frequent interruptions of treatment, lower quality of life and longer hospital stays.3
Early diagnostics and treatment of malnutrition in cancer patients can lead to improved health-related quality of life.4
