Research
The CPO adopts a rigorous scientific framework for its care and teaching activities and its research mission is therefore a fundamental obligation. The care and coaching projects combine innovation with humanity and are based around the most recent knowledge in psycho-oncology. A great many activities offered by the Centre are integrated into research projects aiming to extend development of this knowledge in order to respond to the needs of individuals in the most appropriate and useful way.

It has considerable expertise in training on communication and contributes to the Inter-University Certificate in Psycho-Oncology organized by the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in partnership with the Universities of Liège and Mons.
Care services
The CPO’s main mission is to support patients and/or those close to them to help prevent and manage the difficulties encountered during or after cancer treatment. The objective is improvement of psychological well-being and quality of life with respect for the individuality, priorities and beliefs of each person. It offers psychological support interventions for individuals, couples, families or groups. The interventions can be short or longer-term depending on the needs and wishes of those involved.
