History
The foundation of the current oncology center was laid by the creation of the Azerbaijan State Research Institute of X-ray Radiology in 1941 by decree of the Council of People’s Commissars and the People’s Commissariat of Health of the Azerbaijan SSR of December 10, 1940.
In 1963, by order of the Ministry of Health of the Azerbaijan SSR, the institute was renamed the Research Institute of Radiology , Radiology and Oncology . And the next year 2 more buildings of the institute were commissioned. In 1988, the institute was reorganized, as a result of which it became known as the Republican Oncological Scientific Center and thereby became the main research institution of Azerbaijan. In October 1995, the Republican Oncology Scientific Center began to be called its current name - the National Center of Oncology (NCO) under the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Azerbaijan [1] .
In 2006, a Mobile Diagnostic Complex was created as part of the NCO, which includes ultrasound, radiography, endoscopy, a clinical, biochemical and morphological laboratory and specialized doctors. The main goal of the mobile diagnostic complex is screening, early detection of pre-tumor and tumor diseases in the population of remote regions of the country with their subsequent referral to a hospital of the appropriate profile.
Since 2012, the Children's Oncology Clinic has been operating at the National Center for Oncology [2] .

Blokhina of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences , and also maintains contacts with other bodies specializing in this field of the Caucasus, Ukraine , Uzbekistan and other CIS countries . Research is being conducted in conjunction with doctors from Turkey , England , Germany , Switzerland , the USA and several other countries.
In September 2012, the center entered into a cooperation agreement with the Belgian Health Foundation [3] . In 2013, the Center signed a cooperation agreement with the Agency for the Development of International Cooperation under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State of Israel (MASHAV). In 2014, an agreement was signed with the American company Varian Medical Systems, which produces the technologies necessary for radiation therapy for cancer [4] .
In 2015, a cooperation agreement was signed with Orfit İndustries, which is a global supplier of systems and equipment for the immobilization and placement of patients during radiation therapy. This year, an agreement on long-term cooperation was also signed between the NCO of Azerbaijan and the Cancer Center named after M. D. Anderson [4] [5] .
