– We will be able to detect tumors faster and heal patients faster and the cure rate will be significantly better. We are the only regional hospital in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and we are becoming a leader in oncological diagnostics and early detection of cancer. This should significantly reduce mortality in our region and accelerate the therapy – says Łukasz Grabarczyk, MD, medical director of USK.
