About the department

The Department of Bone Marrow Transplantation at the University Hospital Essen offers the full range of treatment for malignant and benign hematological diseases, diseases of the bone marrow and the lymphatic system. The department specializes in the treatment of acute and chronic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, malignant lymphomas, multiple myeloma and aplastic syndrome. The department is the largest specialized center for allogeneic stem cell transplantation from related and unrelated donors in Europe. The Chief Physician of the department is a leading hematologist and oncologist, Prof. Dr. med. Dietrich W. Beelen.

The Chief Physician of the department, Prof. Beelen, made a significant contribution to the development of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. In particular, he developed new, sparing methods for elderly patients in whom hematopoietic and lymphatic diseases are more common than in other age groups. In addition, the professor is also actively developing modified stem cell drugs for allogeneic transplantation in patients in the absence of tissue compatibility with the donor, as well as innovative cellular therapeutic drugs.

The department specializes in allogeneic stem cell transplantations for malignant and benign hematological systemic diseases. The specialists’ tasks also include the transplantation of the patient’s own hematopoietic stem cells after myeloablative or previous chemoradiation therapy of reduced intensity. The department has special competence in the field of allogeneic stem cell transplantation from a related donor with partial tissue compatibility or from an unrelated donor.

In addition, the department has at its disposal the specialized center for the production of stem cell drugs from the bone marrow and blood, which has at its command all the methods of collecting, preparing and storing hematopoietic stem cells. The department also operates the Transplant Coordination Center, which is responsible for optimizing the organizational processes associated with stem cell transplantation. Thus, thanks to the use of innovative medical technologies and the expertise of the medical staff, the department provides top-class medical services for stem cells transplantation.

The department’s range of medical services includes:

  • Allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantation in the treatment of malignant and benign hematological systemic diseases:
    • Bone marrow cancer
    • Non-Hodgkin diffuse lymphoma
    • Diseases of the bone marrow with impaired hematopoietic function (myelodysplastic syndrome)
    • Blood cancer
    • And other diseases
  • Monitoring and management of patients after stem cell transplantation
  • Preparation of stem cell drugs from bone marrow and blood (specialized functional section)
  • Transplant Coordination Center
  • And other diagnostic and therapeutic options

The hospital presents all the modern medical fields. Nevertheless, special attention should be given to the following major fields of specialization as oncology, transplantology and cardiology, as well as research activities in the field of immunology, infectology and translational examinations of pathologies of the nervous system and behavioral disorders.

Established on the basis of the standard American model of Comprehensive Cancer Centers, the West German Cancer Center (WTZ) in Essen was recognized as the best medical facility of this kind in Germany in 2009. Nowadays, the center holds leading positions both on the national and international medical markets. The basis of its successful clinical practice is the use of very latest treatment methods and an interdisciplinary approach to each clinical case. The West German Organ Transplant Centre (WZO) is also recognized as one of the best in the country and one of the few in Germany, which specializes in the transplantation of all vital organs, such as kidney, liver, pancreas, heart and lungs. Special attention is paid to kidney and liver transplantation.

The hospital in Germany is proud of its high-tech medical equipment, experienced and competent staff, productive research activities, which allow to guarantee the accurate diagnostics and effective treatment, including rare and very complex clinical cases for every patient. Consequently, the hospital is considered a perfect embodiment of high-quality treatment in Germany.
