The Champalimaud Clinical Centre (CCC) is a state-of-the-art medical, scientific and technological institution where, alongside the integrated and interdisciplinary delivery of specialised clinical care, applied research activities and advanced medical and technical education programmes are developed. Through this, the CCC seeks to personalise therapeutics in order to achieve the best efficacy levels in disease control, survival, and quality of life.

The CCC is structured into Multidisciplinary Pathology Units (MPUs). These include, among others, oncological doctors, surgeons, radio-oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, geneticists, nuclear medicine specialists, nurses, psycho-oncologists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and palliative care experts, who meet regularly to jointly elaborate the personalised diagnostic and treatment plans.

There are seven functioning units dedicated to treatment and research on the major types of cancer. These are the Breast Unit, the Lung Unit, the Urology Unit, the Digestive Unit, the Gynaecology Unit, the Haemato-Oncology Unit, and the Dermatology Unit.

The Champalimaud Clinical Centre also includes a Neuropsychiatry Unit that delivers healthcare in this area, functioning as the clinical arm of Champalimaud Research and guaranteeing the translational character of this important area of research of the Champalimaud Foundation.

Our scientists and health professionals work together to ensure that all the available knowledge and techniques are put to the service of a personalised medical practice of excellence.
