The IUCT-Oncopole allows to create a momentum towards innovation:

• Ensure healthcare quality.
• Provide access to therapeutic innovation.
• All departments and technical platforms have a research mission to at least a national level.
• Welcome new physicians and researchers on strong and selected topics with an international Scientific Council.

Remember:

• A key to the optimization of care lies in the availability of biological tissue or tumor in which the tumor-specific molecular abnormalities will serve as a basis for therapeutic and monitoring.
• The IUCT-Oncopole has a pathology, molecular biology, and cancer genetics platform (with possible access to private regional structures)
