Radiumhemmet

Radiumhemmet, located in Solna, Sweden, is a pioneering institution for non-surgical cancer treatment and radiotherapy research, established in 1910 as Sweden's first oncological clinic. It has played a crucial role in advancing radiotherapy, particularly for gynaecological cancers. Originally founded with charitable donations, it has evolved significantly over the decades, moving to the Karolinska University Hospital in 1936 and becoming state-owned. The institution is renowned for its innovative research and treatment methods, including the influential 'Stockholm method' for cervical cancer. Today, Radiumhemmet continues to be a leading center for cancer care, integrating prevention, early detection, and psychosomatic treatment, while also contributing to ongoing research in the field.
