Research Topics

Integrated Cancer Centers represent the new model for the management of solid and haematological cancers all over the world. They integrate the different professionals into a vast system, which includes public health specialists, fundamental, translational and clinical research, as well as healthcare teams involved in diagnosis and treatment. The CRTOH adopted this innovated model, and is also part of an ambitious initiative taking place in Western Switzerland that aims to designates “poles of excellence”, to, ultimately, ensure the best possible care for patients.
