Our locations in Lazio, Sicily, Campania, and Tuscany enable us to provide cancer care similar to what patients would find in the U.S. without travelling far from home. Throughout Italy, our patients have access to comprehensive services and some of the latest technologies and treatments available, many of which were pioneered by UPMC Hillman Cancer Center.
Our approach is inspired by the model implemented in the U.S. in which patients are supported by a multidisciplinary team of specialists who work together to determine the best course of treatment. This gives each patient the expert care needed to fight cancer and get back to living their lives to the fullest.
