Cancer and Medical Physics

Research on blood and cancer diseases is important in order to provide high-quality diagnostics and treatment.

We conduct research on the disease groups treated at the Department of Blood and Cancer. The objectives vary from better diagnostics to better treatment and follow-up. The research is conducted by multidisciplinary teams, consisting of nurses, doctors, physicists and biologists and is based on extensive collaboration, both internally at the hospital, nationally and internationally.

Our projects are divided into three subgroups:

Radiation therapy and medical physics (helse-stavanger.no)

Molecular biology research (helse-stavanger.no)

Clinical studies (helse-stavanger.no)
