Dear patients,
In the field of thoracic oncology – the treatment of chest cancers – we are experiencing rapid advances in the capabilities of all involved disciplines. Pulmonological and radiological diagnostics are becoming increasingly sensitive, the spectrum of oncological therapies is growing, radiation therapy benefits from impressive technical developments, and surgical options are becoming more minimally invasive and gentle. For example, the extent of a surgical intervention can increasingly be reduced through targeted and individualized medicinal pre-treatment.
Due to these developments, collaboration and, above all, the exchange of expertise in thoracic surgery, pulmonology, radiology, pathology, oncology, as well as radiation therapy and nuclear medicine, are becoming increasingly important. Only joint efforts, mutual information, and active exchange keep the flow of knowledge alive and ensure individualized, patient-oriented treatment. We develop tailor-made treatment plans that are adapted to the specific health condition of our patients.
We also know that a cancer diagnosis affects not only the body but also the mind. Not only the individual specialists, but the entire network essential for good treatment works together in the Lung Cancer Center. This includes psycho-oncological care, nutritional counseling, social workers, physiotherapists, (oncological) nursing staff, pain therapy, pastoral care, and palliative care physicians.
Since your treatment extends far beyond our clinic, we cooperate closely with your treating general practitioners and specialists, established medical services, and rehabilitation clinics, ensuring a smooth transfer of information.
» We accompany you every step of the way – from diagnosis to aftercare. Trust in our expertise and our commitment to your health. With us, you and your individual needs are the focus. «
