Methods of diagnosis and treatment

FSBI National Medical Research Radiological Centre of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation

Today is one of the largest oncological and radiological clusters in Russia, the leading institution in radiology, a reference center in the field of pathomorphological research and radiation diagnostics and therapy. Since 2020 it is also the base organization of the CIS member states in the field of oncology.

Two national registers operate on the basis of National Medical Research Center of Radiology of the Ministry of Health of Russia: Cancer – register and the National Radiation – Epidemiological Register.

Center implements such innovative technologies such as HIPEC and PIPAC, X-ray surgical methods of treatment, radionuclide and brachytherapy.

The Center has patented and is actively applying a method for preserving the reproductive functions of cancer patients using cryopreservation of genetic material.

A unique for Russia department of reconstructive plastic surgery of radiation injuries has been created.

The Center is one of the leaders in the field of Nuclear Medicine, development of Russian radiopharmaceuticals and their implementation in clinical practice. Nuclear medicine technologies in combined and complex treatment provide significant / additional therapeutic benefits for both oncological and non-oncological diseases.

The Pharmacy manufactures innovative radiopharmaceuticals based on 188Re, 177Lu and 225Ac radionuclides developed at the Center for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer, primary and metastatic liver cancer, metastatic skeletal lesions and knee joint chronic synovitis.

It is planned to manufacture radiopharmaceuticals for the treatment of neuroendocrine malignant neoplasms, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, etc.

An advanced and unique scientific GMP complex for the production of products based on cell technologies has been opened in the National Medical Research Radiological Centre of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. It is used to develop and implement the latest cell therapy products for cancer treatment. These include CAR-T, mesenchymal stromal (stem) cells, dendritic cell vaccines, chondrocytes. The practical use of CAR-T in clinical practice for the treatment of CD19-positive lymphomas and leukemia has begun.

Every year, more than eight thousand patients receive high-tech medical care at FSBI NMRRC of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation under state guarantees. More than 14 thousand patients undergo surgical operations, 12 thousand patients undergo chemotherapy courses.
