About the department
The Department of Oncology and Hematology at the Beta Clinic Bonn offers the full range of medical services in the fields of its competence. The department's team of doctors specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of benign and malignant hematopoietic diseases and solid tumors of various organs and anatomical structures. An accurate examination is the key to successful treatment, so specialists have the latest technology to perform diagnostic procedures for suspected cancer. The patients of the department have access to advanced laboratory diagnostics, image-guided tests, ultrasound scans, endoscopic procedures, biopsies, and other procedures. Oncological diseases are treated in accordance with current clinical protocols and using advanced methods, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, etc. Each treatment regimen is carefully developed based on the patient's clinical data, needs, and wishes. The department's oncologists and hematologists cooperate closely with specialists from related fields, including surgeons, radiologists, experts in nuclear medicine, gastroenterologists, gynecologists, urologists, and other doctors. An interdisciplinary approach allows the specialists to provide patients with optimal results. An important role is also assigned to the humane attitude towards the patient and moral support, since the treatment process is often quite complicated.
The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Marcus Gorschlüter. The specialist has over 20 years of successful clinical experience in cancer treatment, so he has the courage to take on complex cancer cases. Prof. Gorschlüter lectures at the University of Bonn and is actively involved in the German Society of Hematology and Medical Oncology (DGHO).
The team of oncologists at the medical facility treats patients with solid tumors, including colon, lung, stomach, liver, thyroid, gallbladder, ovarian, uterine, cervical, prostate, brain, skin, and other tumors. The first-line therapy for these cancers is usually tumor resection surgery. The operation is performed by experienced, highly specialized surgeons. The department's specialists are responsible for the conservative treatment of cancers with various localizations. Oncologists at the medical facility most often perform chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Chemotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for most types of cancer. The department's oncologists most often prescribe chemotherapy to patients in the form of infusions or injections. It is also possible to take oral chemotherapy drugs. The department's doctors determine the optimal regimen for chemotherapy, taking into account the particular type of cancer, its stage, and the patient's general health condition. The principle of action of chemotherapy is to slow down or stop the growth of the tumor under the influence of chemotherapeutic agents. However, when injected into the human body, chemotherapeutic agents affect not only tumor cells but also healthy ones, so during the course of treatment, the patient encounters a number of side effects. These include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, extreme fatigue, damage to the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat, etc. Despite the side effects, chemotherapy allows doctors to achieve an excellent therapeutic result, and healthy cells that have been affected during treatment are restored quite quickly.
The department's medical team also specializes in immunotherapy, which is an innovative and highly effective treatment. Targeted antibody therapy is a type of immunotherapy. This therapy is often included in the treatment regimen for patients with lung, colon, stomach, ovarian, uterine, and other cancers. Antibodies are part of the human immune system. They are able to find specific molecules in the body and bind to them. First, the department's oncologists produce special monoclonal antibodies in the laboratory that are able to bind to certain proteins on the surface of cancer cells and block their growth and reproduction. The antibodies are then administered into the patient's body by injection or infusion. Once in the body, antibodies target cancer cells, thereby destroying the malignant tumor. Targeted antibody therapy can be used in combination with other treatments or as a standalone method. In some cases, it allows doctors to achieve a good result when other treatment methods are ineffective in the fight against cancer.
The department's medical team is also involved in treating benign and malignant blood diseases. The most common blood cancers are leukemias, lymphomas, and chronic myeloproliferative diseases. Chemotherapy is the main treatment for these types of cancer. The duration of the course of chemotherapy is 2-4 weeks. In some cases, chemotherapy can be carried out on an outpatient basis, but more often than not, the department's doctors still prefer inpatient treatment in order to be able to monitor the patient's condition and, if necessary, provide him with care.

About hospital
The Beta Clinic Bonn is a modern private healthcare facility with 20 specialized departments. In addition, the clinic cooperates with 30 independent doctors of various specializations, most of whom have their own private practices. The doors of the clinic first opened for patients in 2008. Since that time, the medical facility has expanded significantly and achieved outstanding success. It harmoniously combines state-of-the-art equipment, high levels of competence among doctors, and comfortable infrastructure. All these possibilities make it possible to provide patients with high-quality medical care in accordance with modern European standards. The work of the medical team at the clinic is based on the following principle: "Our task is to take care of the health of patients." The clinic provides comprehensive treatment, taking into account the individual needs and wishes of each patient.
The hospital has an excellent diagnostic base: rooms for instrumental diagnostics, imaging tests, and endoscopic procedures. The medical complex also has in-house laboratories with advanced equipment. The clinic's doctors have the opportunity to perform comprehensive diagnostics in the shortest possible time and detect the slightest pathological changes in the work and structure of the internal organs. When considering the diagnostic results in complex clinical cases, physicians from related specialties are often involved in the process so that all important aspects are taken into account when developing a treatment regimen for a patient.
The therapeutic options at the clinic are quite diverse. At the same time, doctors always strive to keep pace with innovations, carrying out treatment using the most modern and sparing techniques. The operating rooms at the clinic have advanced computer equipment, navigation devices, monitoring systems, surgical microscopes, special tools, and equipment for laparoscopic and endoscopic interventions, as well as laser systems. The clinic also has an in-house Rehabilitation Center, where patients undergo physiotherapy and therapeutic exercises.
The clinic is expanding more and more every year. Innovative developments in diagnostics and treatment are immediately introduced here. It is worth noting that the clinic is a pioneer in Germany in advanced laser treatment for epilepsy. The therapy was implemented into clinical practice in 2019 and has been successfully applied here since then.
