Research Group:
Cancer
Group leader: Dr. med. Julia Bohlius
The Cancer Research Group is involved in research projects on prevalence, incidence, risk factors and prognosis of cancer in adult patients. This includes observational studies as well as systematic reviews and individual patient data meta-analyses. Research questions range from socio-economic inequalities and cancer survival to IGF binding protein-3 and breast cancer risk.
For a complete list of cancer related publications see "Cancer related publications" (PDF).
The group collaborates with the Clinic for Medical Oncology at the University Hospital Bern. For national and international collaborations see here.
