The Oncology Center of ‘Heart and Brain’ Pleven is the first and only hospital in Bulgaria member of the organization of European cancer institutes

“The prestigious membership enables the oncologists of ‘Heart and Brain’ to work in the European Cancer Network and thus for the first and only time in Bulgaria patients are provided with access to quality cancer care, personalized and multidisciplinary therapeutic approach based on evidence-based medicine. As part of OECI, we will build on the knowledge and skills of our teams and collaborate with other leading centres in basic, translational and clinical research,” says Assoc. “What impressed me most about the hospital’s presentation was the emphasis on innovation and our remarkable achievements. These include the state-of-the-art molecular pathology and genetics laboratory, which conducts UK and German-certified analyses for all major biomarkers in solid tumors for diagnostic, screening, predictive and/or prognostic purposes, the country’s first cardio-oncology section, which has already received international recognition for its work and has proven that the best patient care is due to the multidisciplinary approach applied only here, and the application of the country’s only Gamma Knife in routine clinical care.
