Comprehensive Cancer Center
At the Comprehensive Cancer Center, we are in charge of all oncological cancer treatment, other than surgeries, throughout the entire Uusimaa region.
In addition to patients from Helsinki and Uusimaa, we also treat patients from across Finland requiring specialist medical care. Examinations, treatment plans, and radiation therapy are carried out mainly at the Meilahti clinic, while surgery is carried out in the various hospitals.
Comprehensive Cancer Center can be identified with the letter C, which is displayed in the signs and appointment letters. The number after the letter indicates the floor. For example, C5 means the 5th floor. C5.1 means the Medical Treatment Unit's waiting area on the Comprehensive Cancer Center’s 5th floor, or C5.2-5.3 the outpatient clinic’s waiting area.
If a cancer patient’s condition worsens
If your condition worsens abruptly or you develop a fever of over 38 degrees Celsius, please contact:
- The toll-free Medical Helpline number 116 117, which is open 24/7, or
- The nearest hospital with an open emergency clinic.
In emergencies, call the emergency number 112.
