IEO, our mission and values
The European Institute of Oncology (Istituto Europeo di Oncologia – IEO) strives for excellence in cancer prevention, early diagnosis and effective treatment. We aim to achieve this through clinical and scientific research development, organisational and management innovation, with a constant focus on the quality of the service provided to the patients.
The IEO staff are driven and inspired by the following values and principles:
- Patient focus
- Continuous healthcare quality improvement
- Service excellence
- Multidisciplinary approach to clinical care
- Participation in trial research and rapid transfer of results to the patients
- Enhancing the value of human resources
- European spirit and openness to international collaborations
A patient-friendly organization
All of the IEO physicians work full time on an exclusive basis. The doctors therefore avoid dividing their time between hospital and private practice and dedicate all of their time to treatment, research, continuing professional education and interdisciplinary exchanges with their colleagues within the same facility, all for the benefit of their patients.
Work organisation is always centred around patients‘ needs and is based on service excellence
