European Institute of Oncology

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European Institute of Oncology (Italian Istituto Europeo di Oncologia - IEO ) is an Italian cancer research and treatment center based in Milan . It was founded in 1994 as a privately financed, not-for-profit institute, at the suggestion of the well-known doctor and later Italian health minister Umberto Veronesi (deceased in 2016), who also took the position of research director. It is one of around 15-17 Italian Comprehensive Cancer Centers (roughly "comprehensive cancer center"; the term is not protected, the assignment varies). The ESMO has taken him in its list of certified cancer centers.

Like other CCCs, the IEO operates in three areas, namely patient care, research, and education. In 2011, 271 doctors worked there. The clinical departments are divided into operative, non-operative, diagnostic and preventive areas. Around 39,000 patients are treated and around 12,000 operations are performed each year. In an international comparison, this corresponds to an average center size.
