Cancer Research

One in three people will contract cancer over the course of their life. Although cancer is still a common cause of death, great progress has been made in diagnosis, early detection, prevention and treatment as a result of intensive cancer research in recent decades. The Medical University of Graz conducts intensive research in all of these areas.

"Cancer research can only succeed through interdisciplinary networking of fundamental, application-oriented and clinical researchers. The goal is to be able to apply molecularly targeted therapies from precision medicine through digital networking for the good of patients."

 

Amin El-Heliebi, spokesperson of the research field
