Founded at the initiative of Marie Skłodowska-Curie — the first female Nobel laureate and the discoverer of radium. The institute brings together fundamental science, clinical practice, and innovative methods to fight cancer.
Figures:
- 600 oncologists across three sites, 55,000 patients annually, 20,000 chemotherapy courses per year, 250+ concurrent clinical trials, 2 proton therapy centers (the largest in Europe), 6 radiotherapy units.
Unique equipment:
- Proton therapy – the largest center in Europe (treating pediatric tumors while sparing healthy tissue).
- TrueBeam – ultra-precise irradiation system (0.5 mm accuracy).
- 3D brachytherapy – delivering radiation inside the tumor (prostate and cervical cancers).
- Cryoablation – freezing metastases in the liver and bones.
Science:
- 650 scientific publications annually (including high-impact journals).
- 250+ clinical trials running simultaneously.
- 8 breakthrough discoveries over the last 5 years (including new radiotherapy techniques).
