With over a half a century of experience, Hospital A.C.Camargo is today the largest cancer hospital in Latin America. More than 14,000 new cases of cancer are
diagnosed and treated each year at its facilities. Over 800,000 patient consultations and procedures including 10,000 surgeries are performed per year. The
Hospital and its world-class team treat more than 800 types of medically identified tumors and has a long-standing tradition and international reputation in
producing and sharing knowledge. The 50-year-old residency program has trained more than 1,000 residents or about 50% of the country’s oncologists. Its
graduate course in oncology received the highest possible rank, awarded by the Ministry of Education in Brazil and its tumor bank ranks among the top twenty
tumor collections in the world. The hospital’s research activities played a crucial role in some of the country’s most important research, including the Human
Cancer Genome project, which led to the world’s second largest contribution to our current knowledge of the human transcriptome. In the last five years, the
A.C.Camargo strong research program has produced over 645 publications in leading journals, with the highest average impact index in South-America.
