- Difficulty in finding the right treatment: There are many different types of cancer, and the most effective treatment can vary depending on the specific type and stage of cancer. This can make it difficult for doctors to determine the best course of treatment for each patient.
- Side effects: Cancer treatments can often have significant side effects, which can be physically and emotionally difficult for patients to cope with.
- Emotional and psychological impact: Cancer can have a significant emotional and psychological impact on patients and their loved ones. Coping with a cancer diagnosis and treatment can be a stressful and challenging experience.

- Professional liability insurance: This type of insurance, also known as medical malpractice insurance, protects the treatment center against claims of professional negligence.
- General liability insurance: This type of insurance protects the treatment center against claims of property damage or bodily injury that may occur on the premises.
- Property insurance: This type of insurance covers damages to the treatment center’s physical buildings and property.
- Business interruption insurance: This type of insurance provides financial protection if the treatment center is unable to operate due to a covered event, such as a natural disaster.
