Comprehensive Cancer Center
We are responsible for radiation therapy as well as for the drug therapy for cancer and treatment of hematological diseases in patients over the age of 16 in the Uusimaa region. We are also responsible for breast surgery, as well as demanding, special-level palliative care and end-of-life care.
In addition to patients from Helsinki and Uusimaa, we also treat patients from across Finland requiring specialized medical care. Diagnostic examinations and treatment are mainly carried out in the Meilahti hospital campus.
