Tu­mour cent­re

The Breast Centre, the Uro-oncology Centre and the Visceral Oncology Centre are certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG). The German Cancer Society (DKG) is a worldwide neutral quality mark for good oncological care. The DKG certifies that patients benefit from treatment in accordance with the highest international quality guidelines, which can support them in their choice of hospital and create the necessary trust. Patients in certified cancer centres have a significantly lower risk of death. DKG-certified cancer centres are subject to annual quality control, must implement the latest scientific findings and use state-of-the-art technology.

An interdisciplinary tumour conference is held six times a week. All specialists - radiologists, pathologists, surgeons, medical oncologists and radiotherapists - are present at these meetings. The radiologists demonstrate the relevant X-ray findings, the pathologists comment on the tissue examinations and the surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists jointly discuss the treatment strategy, which in many cases includes surgical, radiotherapeutic and chemotherapeutic intervention.

General practitioners and attending physicians can also take part in the tumour board and contribute further aspects, including those relating to the patient's family situation and social environment. The clinical picture of each individual patient is discussed together and the therapy plan for the treatment is determined as a team. Registration is requested
