Comprehensive Cancer Center

In addition to patients from Helsinki and Uusimaa, we also treat patients from across Finland requiring specialized medical care. Diagnostic examinations and treatment are mainly carried out in the Meilahti hospital campus.

Comprehensive Cancer Center signs

The Comprehensive Cancer Center is identified with the letter C, which is shown in the signs and on the appointment letters. The number after the letter indicates the floor, for example, C5 directs the visitor to the 5th floor. C5.1 means the waiting room of the Comprehensive Cancer Center’s pharmacotherapy unit on the 5th floor or the waiting room of the outpatient clinic C5.2-5.3.
