West Pomeranian Oncology Center Szczecin

West Pomeranian Oncology Center Szczecin is located in the building of the former district hospital from 1909 and acquired its current name 16 years ago. The hospital's operation complies with numerous ISO and PN-N-N standards, particularly for quality and environmental management, occupational health, and food safety.

Also, since 2006, the clinic has been a certified regional oncology center in Poland, and its doctors are among the top ten in the national rating according to the "Rzeczpospolita" version. In addition, the Polish Society for the Study of Pain and the Polish Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Gynecology, Surgery, and Orthopedics awarded the Szczecin West Pomeranian Oncology Center with the "Pain-Free Hospital" certificate. Also, the hospital received the title "Golden Leader of Health Care 2016" from the magazine "National Health System."

The medical center has high ratings of cure efficiency and continuously works on developing innovative treatment methods. Doctors cooperated with physicists and developed a unique radiation beam scattering modifier with 3D modeling and proprietary software. This approach reduces the effect on healthy tissues and promotes the maximum effect on the tumor. Furthermore, much attention is paid to minimally invasive methods of treatment. As a result, the endoscopic laboratory allowed simultaneous diagnostic and treatment procedures of the gastrointestinal tract (polypectomy, dilatation, stenting, and gastrostomy). Also, a large selection of radiation therapy (HDR brachytherapy and IMRT, CFRT, whole skin irradiation, and remote therapy using respiratory gating functions), chemotherapy, molecular target drugs, and hormonal therapy complement each other. Multicomponent cures contribute to a lower risk of recurrent malignant neoplasms after recovery. Different levels of care cover almost the entire range of necessary treatments in the field of oncology. On an outpatient basis, the removal of suspicious skin growths for minor cases is available at the medical center. At the same time, the clinic has 3 intensive care units for critically ill patients.

The wide range of services of the West Pomeranian Oncology Hospital in Szczecin allows you to treat patients with breast cancer, gynecology, stomach, liver, intestines, respiratory system, and skin. Doctors offer individual treatment in compliance with gold safety standards and using the most current global offers.

Szczecin is located in the northwest of Poland and is one of the ten largest cities in the country. The population is 411,000 people. The peculiarity of the city is its centuries-old history, diverse architecture, and embankment near the Oder River.

The architecture consists of baroque and modern buildings, complemented by observation terraces, sculptures of the culture of ancient Egypt or Rome, broad avenues, and cast-iron pumps of the 19th century. During walks, guests of the city can also explore numerous residences, castles of princes, and towers. One of the characteristic buildings of Szczecin is the Basilica of St. Jakub, but not limited to it. The town has many sacred buildings of the Middle Ages. The municipality is also surrounded by forests, a landscape park with the Zdroje Nature Reserve, and a unique natural area for protecting birds Natura 2000. After a busy excursion, museums, and exhibitions, you can relax on a picnic in Kasprovytsia Park by the lake or in a dendrological garden with numerous rare plant species. For dinner, restaurants and cafes offer national dishes - Szczecin paprikas and mushroom and cheese cutlets, which are authentic traditional delicacies.

The city is quite famous for tourism with its many festivals and cultural events and has the largest seaport in the country. However, shipbuilding has remained the primary industry for many years. The city also has an actively developed sports field, particularly football and rowing. In addition, representatives of Poland and other countries train at the pole vaulting center. Tennis tournaments and swimming and volleyball championships are also held here. The medical field is also actively developing, part of the city's traditions. In 1909, the West Pomeranian Oncology Center Szczecin had the appearance of an ordinary district hospital and, over time, acquired an increasingly narrow specialized center with treatment according to the latest medical world recommendations. Szczecin is also the birthplace of famous artists and poets, such as Henrika Beyer, Alfred Deblin, and many others.

The abundance of greenery, numerous sports events, and festivals among the historical architecture are lovely for tourists worldwide. Moreover, the city allows one to experience medieval culture and spend time in the silence of art exhibitions, or on the contrary, get to know traditional holidays, music, and dishes in a more energetic atmosphere.
