Research at the Comprehensive Cancer Center Freiburg – CCCF
From foundations to clinical applicationsThe dual focus of our efforts is to offer our patients interdisciplinary, innovative, and comprehensive care and to promote translational cancer research.
In the context of clinical trials, we can provide patients with the earliest possible access to promising new diagnostic and therapeutic concepts. The patients in question thus benefit from novel scientific approaches. The translation of research findings into clinical trials is facilitated by the Clinical Trials Unit and by early clinical trial units (ECTU) for adults and for children.
