Our Operations

The Section of Oncological Endocrinology is part of the Business Area Blood and Tumor Diseases (BoT). The BoT business area has approximately 300 employees. The Section of Oncological Endocrinology has about 50 employees and provides outpatient and inpatient care for patients with neuroendocrine tumors.

The section investigates, treats, and monitors patients with all types of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) regardless of origin. We also manage other endocrine tumors such as adrenal cortical cancer and pheochromocytoma, as well as hereditary tumor syndromes such as MEN 1, 2, VHL, and SDH. We naturally see patients from the Uppsala region, but the majority of patients come from other regions and university hospitals, as well as from abroad. Care is provided in multidisciplinary teams in close collaboration with units for pathology, endocrine surgery, clinical chemistry, radiology, nuclear medicine, cardiology, thoracic surgery, and others.

Research activity is high. The unit is, as the only center in Sweden, certified as a Center of Excellence (CoE) within the European organization ENETS for both GEP NET and Lung NET, within Uppsala University Hospital, as well as an ERN center for NET. We are a CoE within ENSAT (adrenal organization). Since April 1, 2023, we have been a unit for National Highly Specialized Care for neuroendocrine abdominal tumors and advanced adrenal tumors.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanently employed personnel based on the needs of the total defense. This means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, a check of suspicion and criminal records is conducted for all job seekers who, in the sought employment, may come to work within psychiatric healthcare, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks currently are not intended to mainly contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and ad sales.
