Welcome to Uppsala Comprehensive Cancer Centre
We aim to be the leading cancer centre with patients at the core of our focus.
At Uppsala Comprehensive Cancer Centre (UCCC), we work in close collaboration with patients to provide high-quality, equitable, and accessible cancer care. Our goal is for patients and family members to feel safe, informed, and actively involved in their care.
Using data, we take a structured and process-driven approach to continuously improved cancer care, research, and development.
UCCC consists of an extensive network of clinicians and researchers with specialised expertise, supported by a robust research infrastructure. This enables wide-ranging, high-quality cancer research, allowing ideas to move swiftly from the lab through clinical trials to new treatments.

Upcoming Events at UCCC
Uppsala has the honor of hosting the first CCC network meeting of 2025
The National CCC Network facilitates collaboration between existing and aspiring CCCs in Sweden and plays an active role in the development of national cancer strategies. The network promotes the sharing of knowledge, resources, and best practices to advance cancer research, integrate research into clinical care, and ensure patient access to the most effective treatments. It supports the objectives of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and the Swedish cancer strategy, contributes to the development of new cancer centers, and aids in establishing a model for similar cancer center infrastructures within the EU. To achieve its goals, the network closely collaborates with the EU’s CCC network and coordinates the engagement of Swedish CCCs within this European framework.
