The cancer and palliative care research group is a multidisciplinary group with a strong focus on patient-centered clinical research. In recent years, our activity also increasingly includes more translational research. The group is fully integrated with the Department of Oncology at St. Olavs hospital, and consists of physicians, nurses, physicists, clinical dieticians, other health care personell, bio-informaticians and molecular biologists. The research group has its own clinical research office, offering technical and administrative support for researchers and clinicians.

Our research portfolio comprises both researcher- and industry-initiated trials within most cancer diagnoses. We initiate and coordinate a significant number of trials ourselves, including international multicentre trials.
