Oncology Center
4th Medical Pathology Department
It was established in June 2020, headed by Medical Oncologist Ms. Dimitra Kanaloupiti, who, after years of training and working in large hospitals in the USA, returned to Greece with the vision of offering Greek patients oncology services of a corresponding level.
  • Aims

    The Clinic aims to provide comprehensive, individualized and well-rounded treatment to oncology patients. Following the initial investigation and diagnosis of cancer, our team surrounds patients and their families with deep knowledge and understanding of their mental condition, needs and concerns, so as to create and establish a relationship of trust and mutual appreciation, on which to build the treatment plan and provide quality healthcare services.

    The treatment approach for patients is driven by the guidelines of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and includes the most advanced treatment protocols for chemotherapy, immunotherapy, molecularly targeted therapy and biological treatments. 
  • Structure / Associates

    The Clinic is staffed with medical oncologists with excellent training and long experience in the treatment of all solid tumors (breast, melanoma, gynecologic cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, head / neck cancer and other tumors). The Clinic Director, Ms. Kanaloupiti, is a regular invited speaker at international and Greek oncology conferences. As part of their ongoing medical training, the Clinic staff continuously participate in scientific conferences and are informed about the latest developments in oncology practice. 

    Transferring extensive experience and know-how from abroad, the Clinic has been established based on the model of organizing large oncology units in the USA, so as to ensure the seamless and effortless flow of procedures, as well as the comfortable care of patients during the treatments, both in the day clinic / chemotherapy department and during inpatient hospitalization. The Clinic maintains fully informed and updated medical files / records for each patient, so as to ensure their fast and objective use in the medical decision-making process.
