Oncology

Estonian oncologists are highly professional and patient-focused and achieve excellent treatment results. At the forefront in using new methods in oncology All modern treatment methods of medicines, radiology and surgery are used in Estonia. Treatment uses all the modern medicines, with cytotoxic, hormonal and biological medicines, and treatment schedules derived from the best results of medicine trials. Cancer indicators in the blood, CT, MRI and PET-CT imaging, biopsies, endoscopic tests, molecular and genetic tests for prescribing treatment, and other diagnostic methods are used in diagnosing cancers and tumours. Diagnostic techniques for melanomas have been developed, including telederma- tology. Innovation and scientific development Estonian oncologists work closely with the researchers developing cancer diagnostics and medicines. Doctors use genetic tests carried out in Estonia to decide on the course of treatment, and a new blood test for the early detection of breast cancer has been developed here. Treatment is open to innovation, and the first hematopoietic stem cell transplant in the whole Baltic region was performed in Estonia. Interdisciplinary medical teams Our oncology specialists have wide international experience, which they call on in their day to day work treating patients. Cancer is treated by teams containing an oncologist, an oncology surgeon, an anaesthesiologist, a radiologist, an oncology nurse, a rehabilitation doctor, and other highly trained specialists. Among the best in Europe In 2011 the European Surgical Outcomes Study (EuSOS) survey showed that post-operative survival rate for non-cardiac surgery in Estonia is in the top five in Europe alongside Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
