Student Life in Warsaw

 

Warsaw is Poland’s capital and largest city with 1.8 million inhabitants. It is on the Vistula River in the middle of the country. As you stroll the streets of the city, you’ll be struck by the versatility of Warsaw. Skyscrapers and luxury retail outlets neighbor museums and libraries in a space that feels both cosmopolitan and yet rather raw. 

Warsaw’s Old Town is the jewel in the Polish capital’s crown. It delights visitors with its colorful tenement houses and the unique atmosphere of its narrow streets. You can visit the Museum of Warsaw or follow the Old Town Cellars Route. See also the barbican and the bell on Kanonia street, take a stroll along the old city walls and take a photo of the Vistula from the observation point at Gnojna Góra. Step into the cathedral, which houses the tombs of the medieval Mazovian princes.

Modern Technologies

 

The Institute runs research and development on all aspects of cancer disease control along with delivering medical healthcare services that assure highly specialist diagnostics, therapies, and rehabilitation for cancer patients. Clinics at the Oncology Center all provide modern radiotherapy facilities, diagnostic departments, and specialist clinics. The departments at the Oncology Center also undertake multi-center-based prospective clinical studies which include those from both home and abroad. In the main, these studies assess the value of the combination and adjuvant/supportive treatments together with the quality of life in patients suffering from cancers of the breast, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, renal tract, lymphatic system, soft tissue sarcoma, and skin melanoma. The Oncology Center is likewise the leading institution for both improving existing radiotherapy methods and developing new ones, as well as for performing research in clinical radiobiology. Over many years it has also been and continues to be, a leader in epidemiological studies on cancer (including using molecular markers of carcinogen exposure). In addition, the Center operates both the National and Warsaw Cancer Registries and has also established both the GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) and bone cancer registries.
