Our Operations

The Oncology Department 101 B is an inpatient department providing care around the clock every day of the year. Here, patients with various types of tumor diseases are treated, with common diagnoses including breast cancer, head and neck tumors, sarcomas, and cancers of the gastrointestinal tract.

Patients come to the department when their investigation, treatment, or illness requires inpatient care. This may involve treatments such as chemotherapy/antibody therapy and various radiation therapies, or patients may have infections or pain and nutritional problems. We have both acute and elective admissions, and our patients' lengths of stay vary from a few days to several weeks. We have close collaboration with other departments/clinics within our area of operations.

Our operations are in constant development, both in medical care and in our working methods in the department. We like to develop and constantly improve! We work long-term with health-promoting measures in our workplace and are proud to have been recognized for this, even receiving an award for the Health-Promoting Workplace of the Year 2021.
