## TL;DR

A university hospital in Pyongyang whose surgeons have published on colon and breast cancer. OnCo has no description of its cancer services beyond those papers.

## Summary

Known to OnCo only from paper affiliations resolved through Europe PMC. A 2022 systematic review of surgery for locally advanced right colon cancer invading the pancreas or duodenum (Frontiers in Medicine) lists authors from the Department of Colorectal Surgery of the Hospital of Pyongyang Medical College, and a 2023 laboratory study of CES2 in breast cancer (International Journal of General Medicine) lists the Department of General Surgery of the Hospital of Pyongyang Medical University. Neither paper describes the hospital's equipment, caseload or role in the national system, and OnCo read no WHO or government source that does. The coordinates are an approximate Pyongyang city point.
