## Department of Surgery, Oncology and Gastroenterology

The main aim of this new Department is to integrate clinical and basic research with teaching of both undergraduates and post-graduates within the School of Medicine. Clinical and preclinical research lines are thus shared among the various units of the Department, which are routinely involved in diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients referred to the University Hospital of Padova.

The Department also has the following main research and teaching fields: surgery (oncology, abdominal transplants, geriatrics, endocrinology, urology, orthopaedics), oncology and immunology, and gastroenterology.
