Director's Blog

Dear patients, colleagues and partners!

I am glad to welcome you on the website of National Medical Research Centre for Oncology! Today it is the largest cancer center in the South of Russia with excellent equipment and highly professional medical staff. Our clinic provides diagnostics and treatment in all spheres of oncology; besides, the Center has a powerful scientific, experimental and educational base.

Medicine is developing rapidly, and we try to study and implement the best in the fight against cancer. One of our main tasks is to make world-class medical care available for each patient regardless of their social status, income, place of residence, nationality and religion. We believe that everyone can be helped. Every day we try to move at least one step forward in the diagnostics, treatment and our research, to improve patient care in the clinic. We have achieved a lot, but there is still something to strive for.

Director’s Blog is where I share my thoughts on medicine and science, innovations in the Center, new approaches to cancer treatment and diagnosis, our studies, training programs for oncologists, and cancer prevention. My priority as a doctor is your and your loved ones’ health.

Best regards,
Oleg Kit.
