What Sets Us Apart
Our team of physicians, who have years of expertise and current knowledge in medical care, are specialized in the fields of hematology, oncology, surgical oncology, palliative medicine, supportive therapy, and human genetics. Our founders are oncologists, and this expertise is a hallmark of IKF.
With well-established networks of almost hundreds of medical institutions, the best experts in their respective fields for every disease type, and the largest academic study groups in Germany and Europe, IKF has a powerful network that sets us apart.
IKF provides well-established access to routine clinical oncology environments through long-term collaborations with university hospitals, other large hospitals, and private oncology practitioners.
Our interactive and comprehensive molecular profiling network, PLATON, provides a unique opportunity to screen a sufficient number of patients with distinct genetic alterations/mutations for biomarker-based clinical trials.
