In campo oncologico la ricerca traslazionale verifica la possibilità di trasformare le scoperte scientifiche che arrivano dal laboratorio in applicazioni cliniche per ridurre l’incidenza e la mortalità per cancro. Sono molti gli studi in corso di ricerca traslazionale condotti dalla Unità di Urologia dell’Istituto Regina Elena.
