Prof. Dr. med. Ulrich Duehrsen
Department of Hematology
Specialized in: hematology About the Department of Hematology at University Hospital Essen
The Department of Hematology at the University Hospital Essen offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of blood diseases. To provide first-class medical care, it uses the most modern methods, including high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation, immunotherapy approaches, specific methods for the treatment of tumor diseases and molecular types of therapy. The department’s active research activities provide patients with the access to innovations in the treatment of one or another hematological pathology. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Ulrich Duehrsen.
As part of the West German Cancer Center Essen, the department covers all modern options for the treatment of hematopoietic cancer. The doctors of all related specialties are in the immediate vicinity, which allows to carry out the comprehensive diagnostics, therapy, as well as the regular interdisciplinary consultations, ensuring the selection of the optimal treatment strategy. The main therapeutic options for cancer treatment include the surgical measures, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormonal or cytokine therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, as well as the symptomatic therapy for the elimination of pain, treatment of nausea and vomiting, and proper nutrition.
The department provides both inpatient and outpatient treatment. It provides medical care to more than 16,000 patients every year. It is the most striking proof of the outstanding quality of services and high authority in the area of specialization.
The department specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of the following hematopoietic diseases:
- Acute and chronic leukemias
- Myelodysplasias
- Myelodysplastic syndrome
- Myeloproliferative diseases
- Lymphomas
- Indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas
- Aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas
- Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Multiple myeloma
- Anemia
- Red blood cell disorders
- Hemolysis
- Thalassemia
- Blood clotting disorders
- Hemorrhagic tendency
- Thrombosis (hypercoagulability)
- Other diseases
