Uppsala Comprehensive Cancer Centre

To meet a growing need for cancer care, Uppsala University Hospital, Uppsala University and the Regional Cancer Centre for Central Sweden have joined forces to form Uppsala Comprehensive Cancer Centre (UCCC). The aim is to improve the care provided to cancer patients and to link cancer care and research. UCCC’s vision is: “We aim to be the leading cancer centre with patients at the core of our focus.”

UCCC has a very broad and active cancer research programme covering all aspects of cancer, and an extensive network of clinicians and researchers with specialised expertise in different areas.

In April 2025, UCCC was accredited by the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes (OECI). This means that the centre has a quality-certified environment where healthcare, research and education work together to provide patients with the best possible cancer care.
