Providing the Best Care Tailored to Each Patient

Modern medicine is rapidly transitioning toward precision medicine, which uses each patient’s genetic characteristics to guide treatment. Building on its extensive clinical and research achievements, the Medical Oncology Center at Seoul National University (SNU) Cancer Hospital is leading a paradigm shift in cancer care by providing personalized anticancer treatment based on precision medicine and genomics.

Minimizing Patient Waiting Times Through Efficient Use of Day Care and Short-Stay Beds

Through close and efficient coordination among the Medical Oncology Center’s outpatient clinics, chemotherapy day care unit, and short-stay beds at SNU Cancer Hospital, we strive to minimize patient waiting times and ensure that necessary treatments are delivered promptly without requiring hospitalization.

Advancing Multicenter and Multinational Clinical Research

We lead multinational clinical trials and play a leading role in the development of novel anticancer agents and targeted therapies. By continuously presenting our research findings in internationally renowned journals and at major academic conferences, we are leading anticancer drug development efforts both in Korea and abroad.

Leading Evidence-Based Cancer Treatment and Standard Treatment Guidelines

In addition to generating scientific evidence through anticancer drug research, we take a leading role in developing evidence-based guidelines for cancer treatment. By combining active anticancer therapy with optimal supportive care, we strive to provide patients with the most effective and comfortable treatment possible.

Advancing Translational Research and Personalized Cancer Treatment

Beyond developing novel anticancer agents, we identify patients most likely to benefit from new therapies and pursue the most effective treatment for each individual patient, leading the way in personalized cancer care.
