Cancer Research Center AGORA

A collective effort at the heart of AGORA. On October 3, 2018, the ISREC Foundation officially inaugurated the AGORA Cancer research center. Initiated by the ISREC Foundation in 2013, the realization of the AGORA project was the result of a partnership between the Vaud University Hospital (CHUV), the University of Lausanne (UNIL), the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG) and the University of Geneva (UNIGE). This project has emerged from a common vision and will eventually become an important platform for collaborations between various cantons.

Situated within the Lausanne University Hospital campus, the AGORA is the flagship of the SCCL. This 5 storey state-of-the-art facility, dedicated to translational research, was inaugurated in October 2018. It is currently home to 200 members of the SCCL community.

Cost is calculated individually for each patient. The price depends on the type of disease, complications, hospital's reputation, and doctor's experience. You can find out the exact cost of the procedures by sending us an application/request for a calculation.
