N. Lopatkin Scientific Research Institute of Urology and Interventional Radiology - branch of the National Medical Research Radiological Centre of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation

Proper routing between the branches of the Center allows a patient who comes to us to receive a full range of combined and complex diagnostic and treatment procedures, including surgery, various options for chemotherapy and radiation therapy. There are wide opportunities for international cooperation - we give our expert opinion to colleagues from respected foreign cancer centers, with which we have signed several agreements on real collaborative projects over the past two years. A common telemedicine platform for exchanging morphological and clinical data is being created; we are planning to open the second proton therapy centre and the first heavy ion therapy center (in the post-Soviet states) in collaboration with Japanese colleagues. People come to us for experience and they are amazed to see the significant results we have been able to achieve in just five years. This has become possible thanks to the synergy of our merger and state support of oncology. Efficiency and targeting, proclaimed in the new national cancer control program, and multidisciplinarity in solving tasks have become a reliable basis for the implementation of the program.
I am sure we can do a lot together!
