Oncology and radiation physics

The oncology unit at Skåne University Hospital provides advanced care and treatment for patients with various types of cancer, while the radiation physics unit ensures radiation safety and oversees medical device safety. In collaboration with Lund University, we conduct highly specialised research aimed at improving cancer treatments and enhancing patient care.

Education and training are central to our work, and we play a key role in preparing future healthcare professionals, including assistant nurses, medical secretaries, physiotherapists, nurses, specialist nurses, doctors, and researchers.

In radiation physics, our expertise spans both ionising and non-ionising radiation, encompassing the use of radioactive substances in diagnostics and therapy. We hold a region-wide mandate for radiation safety and medical device safety, providing guidance and services to all relevant organisations within Region Skåne.

With approximately 900 dedicated professionals, our team is committed to delivering high-quality care and advancing medical knowledge.

Research

Our research is internationally recognised and focuses on developing new and improved treatment methods in both medical oncology and radiotherapy. In addition to treatment innovation, we also study ways to prevent, manage, and alleviate symptoms related to cancer and cancer therapy.

Many of our research projects are conducted in collaboration with national and international research networks and research groups, ensuring that our findings contribute to the global advancement of cancer care.
