The National Center for Tumor Diseases and University Cancer Center Dresden (NCT/UCC Dresden) brings together cancer care and research to advance individualized treatment. Supported by the German Cancer Research Center, University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden and its medical faculty at TU Dresden, and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, the center connects clinical expertise with scientific research.

NCT/UCC Dresden offers patients a broad range of cancer services, including outpatient and day-clinic care, surgery, radiotherapy, medication-based treatment, molecular diagnostics, tumor boards, clinical studies, and second opinions. Its specialist centers cover many cancer types, including breast, skin, head and neck, pediatric, neuro-oncological, and hematological cancers. Patients and families can also access psycho-oncology, social counseling, nutrition and exercise support, patient information, and self-help resources.

Research spans areas such as cancer prevention, immunotherapy, imaging, surgical oncology, pediatric oncology, and personalized medicine. The center also supports clinical studies through dedicated infrastructure and services, and provides information for referring physicians, researchers, and study sponsors. Through this integrated approach, NCT/UCC Dresden aims to link discoveries with up-to-date cancer treatment.
