About the department
The Department of Pediatric Oncology, Hematology, Pulmonology, Cardiology and Rheumatology at the University Hospital Essen offers the full range of medical services in these fields. The department specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the hematopoietic system, various types of cancer, pathologies of the lungs, cardiovascular system and rheumatic diseases. An experienced medical team of the department, consisting of 18 doctors and 56 nurses, provides an optimal treatment and quality care for young patients of different age categories. The department treats about 1,300 inpatients and more than 12,300 outpatients every year. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Dirk Reinhardt.
In the field of hematology, young patients receive the treatment of all benign and malignant blood diseases. The focus is on the treatment of leukemia, thalassemia, anemia, immunodeficiency disorders, blood clotting disorders, etc.
The pediatric oncologists of the department deal with the treatment of various malignant diseases in children and adolescents. A special focus is on brain tumors, solid tumors, leukemias and lymphomas. The course of oncopathology in children differs significantly from the pathological process in adults, and therefore the treatment is provided by specially trained pediatricians. All the diagnostic and therapeutic measures comply with national protocols developed by the experts of the German Society of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology, which are regularly updated and adapted to current scientific advances. Thus, the treatment process is optimized, which guarantees the most positive treatment outcome. The department is certified by the German Cancer Society. In addition to the main treatment methods, for example, chemotherapy, stem cell transplantation, the children and their parents are offered psychosocial support, palliative care, etc.
Another key focus of the department is pediatric pulmonology. The doctors have excellent qualifications in the treatment of all diseases of the upper respiratory tract, lungs, respiratory muscles and thorax in children and adolescents. The department operates the Center for Cystic Fibrosis, Rare Lung Diseases and Chronic Respiratory failure (integrated into the Center for Rare Diseases). The young patients are offered a wide range of diagnostic examinations, such as pulmonary function testing using spirometry, whole body plethysmography, methacholine challenge test, spiroergometry, bronchoscopy, sleep screening (within the framework of the specialized laboratory), sweat test, allergic tests, flexible digital endoscopy and many other diagnostic methods.
In the field of pediatric cardiology, the department provides the treatment of congenital and acquired diseases of the heart and blood vessels in patients under the age of 18 years. Due to the availability of the advanced medical equipment and high competence of doctors, many heart pathologies are diagnosed and treated in the womb. To make an accurate diagnosis, there are used various studies, such as echocardiography, color-coded vascular ultrasound, transesophageal echocardiography, including 3D scanning, electrocardiogram, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, ergometry, spiroergometry, etc. The pediatric cardiologists are also competent in the interventional diagnostics and therapy of heart pathologies in children. The department also specializes in the treatment of heart arrhythmias (implantation of pacemakers and defibrillators).
The department’s service spectrum is complemented by the diagnostics and treatment of rheumatic diseases in children and adolescents (in particular, juvenile idiopathic arthritis). Rheumatic diseases are difficult to diagnose, while their detection requires an immediate, comprehensive treatment. The treatment process involves ophthalmologists, pediatric orthopedists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and other specialists. In most cases, therapy is outpatient, but depending on the situation and the severity of the disease, inpatient care may be required. The treatment of children with rheumatic diseases is carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations of the German Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Rheumatology and the North Rhine-Westphalian League Against Rheumatology.

- Pediatric hematology and oncology
