FICAN South promotes the aims of National Cancer Center Finland in cooperation with other regional cancer centers FICAN East, FICAN Mid, FICAN North (website in Finnish) and FICAN West as well as with the unit coordinating national activities.
We also work together with several organisations that develop cancer prevention, diagnostics, treatment, and rehabilitation, and promote cancer research for the best interests of the patients. These organisations include Cancer Society of Finland and their regional organisations and nationwide patient organisations. In addition, we cooperate with trusts promoting cancer research, politicians, officials, research facilities, biobanks, and companies providing digital services, cancer treatments and diagnostics.
