Policlinico di Milano, Vimercate Hospital and Ancona Hospital are united against cancer in a study related to tumours regarded as inoperable (25% of the total).

The research, conducted in cooperation with other European health centers, has been published in Cancers, among the most important scientific journals in the domain: it has been based on a study of clinical stories of 290 patients who were declared non suitable for surgery.

After specific chemotherapy cycles 24% of those patients could be declared suitable to surgery.

Such a result could be reached thanks to the strict cooperation between Surgery and Oncology Departments of Vimercate Hospital, who promptly revaluated the possibility of an intervention on the basis of new modified patients’ conditions.
