This group is localized to Montebello and Aker hospital . The surgical specimens (biopsies and operation specimens) come from in-house and outpatient departments from the merged hospital RR HF Gaustad and Montebello. We also receive surgical specimens from the county hospital in Aust-Agder and the community hospitals in Asker & Bærum and in Hamar. Frozen section service is given to RRHF and Community hospital Asker&Bærum, and by telepathology to the county hospital in Aust-Agder and the community hospital in Hamar.

Referral specimens are provided by the departments of pathology throughout the country when a patient is admitted for treatment in our hospital.

RRHF Montebello is a reference centre of gynaecological oncology, treatment of bone and soft tissue tumours and germ cell tumours. Our research focus is on gynaecological tumours (endometrial carcinoma, uterine sarcoma, ovarian carcinoma), post-irradiation induced sarcomas, testicular and ovarian germ cell tumours (in collaboration with the Department of Genetics), breast and prostate cancer. Our group has co-authored 38 peer-reviewed scientific publications.
