Of particular interest is the treatment of oncopathology of the digestive tract and liver, as well as rare hereditary intestinal tumors (in collaboration with the Center for Integrated Oncology). In addition, the therapeutic options include liver, kidney, and pancreas transplantation. The department's doctors have both classical and innovative methods of diagnostics and therapy, thanks to which they achieve high rates of treatment success.

The department is equipped with modern ultrasound systems, which make it possible to accurately determine the nature of changes in the endocrine organs. In addition, the diagnostic range is complemented by functional examinations, for example, pituitary function tests and dexamethasone suppression test, thyroid scintigraphy (in collaboration with the Department of Nuclear Medicine). The department's doctors also have vast experience in the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes.  The main type of therapy include insulin therapy, proper nutrition, lifestyle modification.
