Department of Pulmonology and Pulmonary Oncology
Specialized in: pulmonology, pulmonary oncology About the Department of Pulmonology and Pulmonary Oncology at Evangelical Lung Hospital Berlin
The Department of Pulmonology and Pulmonary Oncology at the Evangelical Lung Hospital Berlin offers the full range of diagnostics, treatment and follow-up monitoring for patients with respiratory diseases. The department’s key clinical focuses include the treatment of acute and chronic lung diseases, such as bronchial asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, as well as the treatment of cancer and sleep-related breathing disorders. In 2009, the department was certified by the German Cancer Society in lung cancer treatment and meets these standards to the present day. In addition, the department's medical team has more than 20 years of experience in treating rare pulmonary diseases, including alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and pulmonary arterial hypertension. The clinical practice involves the use of only reliable and highly effective treatment methods, which guarantee the cure of even the most complex clinical cases. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Christian Grohé.
The department has the very latest resources and unique experience in the treatment of lung cancer. It annually treats about 3,500 patients, while 600 of them are patients with newly diagnosed oncological pathologies. Lung tumors are treated using an interdisciplinary approach with the participation of pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, radiation therapists, oncologists, specialists in pain therapy, radiologists and pathologists. Within the framework of daily tumor boards, each patient receives an individual treatment regimen, corresponding to the advanced scientific achievements.
The department also has an accredited Sleep Laboratory and is the Weaning Center (accreditation of the German Society of Pulmonology and Mechanical Ventilation).
The department's specialists have rich experience and expert knowledge in the field of medical care for patients with newly diagnosed tuberculosis. In addition, the department's pulmonologists are involved in the research and treatment of such rare diseases as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and pulmonary hypertension.
The department also operates a specialized Outpatient Center, which coordinates outpatient treatment and provides optimal follow-up monitoring for patients with lung diseases upon the completion of the main course of therapy.
