Clinical studies
Innovative clinical trials for the treatment of cancer are developed and conducted at the CCCZResearch at the Comprehensive Cancer Center Zurich
Innovative cancer medicine and cancer research are combined at the Comprehensive Cancer Center Zurich. Our goal is to improve cancer patient care and achieve cancer cures. To this end, we develop new technologies and rapidly and prudently transfer findings from basic research to clinical application.
The scientific focus of the CCCZ is on the research areas of tumor immunology, (epi)genetics and genomics, oncogenic signaling pathways as well as imaging, technology development and digitization. Physicians, scientists and researchers from more than 60 clinical departments and research groups work side by side here to develop personalized treatment strategies against cancer. With the help of numerous clinical studies, which are developed and conducted at our center, we can in many cases also start where established procedures reach their limits and offer our patients innovative therapeutic procedures.
