About the department
The Department of Hematology and Oncology at the Hospital Harlaching Munich offers all the options of modern medicine for the diagnostics and treatment of malignant blood diseases, as well as solid tumors of various localization. The department's specialists focus on patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, lung cancer, breast cancer, cervical and ovarian cancers, kidney, bladder, prostate and testicular cancers. The department's doctors are confident that it is possible to cure oncology only with the help of an interdisciplinary approach, and therefore they cooperate closely with specialists in all related medical fields. During the treatment, not only physical, but also psychological aspects are necessarily taken into account, since in most cases cancer becomes the cause of emotional shock, which the patient can rarely cope with on his own. The department is part of the renowned Cancer Center Munich Süd, and therefore it has access to advanced treatment methods. The patients with end-stage cancer receive effective palliative care to relieve pain and improve their quality of life. The department annually treats more than 1,400 inpatients, while about 750 patients receive outpatient care. Great importance is attached not only to the high quality of medical care, but also to the humane attitude towards the patients and their comfort during treatment. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Meinolf Karthaus.
The department's doctors specialize in the treatment of all types of blood cancer. The focus is on the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia and chronic myelogenous leukemia. To diagnose and determine the exact type of leukemia, complete blood count and bone marrow assessment are usually sufficient. These tests can be complemented by imaging diagnostics (CT and MRI scans). The comprehensive diagnostics plays a decisive role in the treatment success, since the doctors develop an individual treatment regimen for the patient based on his diagnostic results. The main treatment for all types of leukemia is high-dose chemotherapy. It should be noted that the department's specialists have over 30 years of experience in the field of chemotherapy for various types of blood cancer. The department's therapeutic options also include maintenance therapy, immunotherapy and apheresis. The last-line therapy is autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, which is carried out in the partner hospitals of the department in Munich. The department also offers supplementary treatments, such as physiotherapy, aromatherapy, occupational therapy, psychological care and naturopathy methods. All these techniques allow the doctors to restore the body's strength and improve the patient's quality of life.
As for solid tumors, the doctors of the medical facility often have to deal with lung cancer, breast cancer, cervical and ovarian cancers, prostate and testicular cancers, kidney cancer, bladder cancer and other malignant tumors. In most cases, when the patient is diagnosed with the above mentioned tumors, he needs a surgical intervention. Since it is quite difficult to achieve cancer remission, patients receive combination therapy. To completely destroy tumor cells, the department's oncologists carry out chemotherapy, radiation therapy, antibody therapy, antihormone therapy, immunotherapy and other therapeutic procedures. It goes without saying that prior to prescribing a particular type of therapy, the interdisciplinary tumor board carefully assesses the advisability of a particular type of treatment, its predicted result, possible side effects and other important factors. When treating cervical and ovarian cancers in women of childbearing age, the doctors always choose the most sparing course of treatment, which will allow the woman to become a mother in the future. In their work, the department's specialists strictly observe the requirements of the German Cancer Society, as well as of the German Society of Hematology and Oncology. Thus, the patients can be confident that they will receive the most effective and sparing treatment. Professional psychological care is an integral part of the therapeutic process as well.
