Clinical trials in the oncology department

The Department of Oncology has its own examination and consultation rooms for patient visits related to clinical trials. The department employs approximately 15 full-time equivalents who work exclusively on the conduct of clinical trials.

All physicians affiliated with the department are certified in Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and are available to serve as investigators in clinical trials.
