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 in the form of chemotherapy/antibody therapy and various radiation therapies, or patients may have infections or pain and nutrition problems. We have both acute and elective admissions. The length of stay for our patients varies 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 within medical care and in our working methods in the department. We enjoy developing and constantly improving!
