Research activity

  • Residents and faculty meet two times a month to review the latest clinical and basic science research articles, gain insight into ongoing research activities within the Department, and look for answers to clinical questions.
  • Each resident has a theme for their clinical research work and reports their results four times a year. Several times a year, residents review interesting cases from their consultation services to their peers. Complex medical cases are presented with a pathology review.

Examples of topics:
  • The effectiveness of the cytological research method in the diagnosis of malignant skin tumors for visual localizations
  • Study of the causes of the progression of cancer of the large salivary glands and possible complications depending on the treatment methods.
  • Study of the effectiveness of anti-angiogenic therapy in the treatment of progressive ovarian cancer.

Training base

The culmination of the theoretical and practical modules is clinical research work. The resident analyzes the clinical experience gained and interprets it from the standpoint of a practicing physician. The clinical practice component takes place at the City Clinical Hospital No. 1 that has a 439 bed capacity, six specialized oncology departments, and a radiology department.

  • Residents participate in unique operations, consultations, and patient supervision of modern hormonal, chemo- and targeted therapy regimens.
  • By the end of the residency, residents will perform standard surgical interventions and dressings and independently supervise patients with oncological diseases.
