Trials open for cancer patients

Cancer treatment runs in parallel with advanced scientific research. FICAN West is the second largest cancer research center in Finland. Its mission is to coordinate cancer research and teaching in the entire West-coast area.

We promote cancer research and the use of up-to-date scientific data within FICAN West and in the whole of Finland.

The Turku Clinical Research Center provides services in the field of health scientific research for researchers of the University of Turku and the Turku special responsibility area.
