The European Institute of Oncology was
established to implement an innovative model for health
and advanced research in the international oncology field.
Its Division and Unit Directors come from eight European
countries.
Conceived by Umberto Veronesi and inaugurated
in May 1994, the Institute became a research hospital
and treatment centre (IRCCS or
“Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico”)
through the Ministerial Decree issued in January 1996. The European Institute of Oncology adopts the non-profit private-law
organisation model and provides services through agreements
with Italy’s National Health Service.

In keeping with the standards of the most advanced international
oncology centres, the Institute fully integrates different
activities involved in the fight against cancer: prevention
and diagnosis, health education and training, research and
treatment.
In addition to the centre in Via Ripamonti, where all clinical,
research and training activities take place, in 2002
the Institute opened IEO CENTRO, an integrated
cancer diagnosis centre located in Milan down town (Via San Luca
8). |
