Cancer types
Cancer care covers a variety of cancers with different background factors and symptoms. The situation of each patient is unique, therefore an effective and good cancer treatment always requires individually designed, accurate and careful diagnosis. On these pages you will find information about different cancers, their risk factors, symptoms and the latest diagnostics and treatment options.

Cancer diagnostics and treatments have developed tremendously, today more and more people are recovering from cancer. The potential for cure depends on the type of cancer, its prevalence and accurate diagnosis, as well as delay in starting treatment.
