About the department

The Department of Oncology and Hematology at the Hospital Oberberg Gummersbach offers the full range of medical services in its areas of competence. A highly qualified team of physicians at the medical facility provides comprehensive diagnosis and highly effective treatment of cancers of various sites as well as benign and malignant diseases of the hematopoietic system. The department is part of the Cancer Center Oberberg, which has all the necessary resources and highly qualified personnel to achieve optimal treatment results. Each clinical case is reviewed at an interdisciplinary tumor board with the participation of oncologists, hematologists, surgeons, radiation therapists, radiologists, and other doctors. The specialists jointly develop a personalized treatment regimen for the patient. Oncologists are responsible for systemic treatments such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, antibody therapy, etc. The department also offers the services of qualified psychologists because cancer diagnosis often provokes depressive states. There are 30 beds available to accommodate patients in the department. Many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. The Head Physician of the department is Dr. med. Markus Sieber.

Colon cancer and lung cancer are among the most common types of malignant diseases in the department's clinical practice. Colon cancer, like many other oncological pathologies, often remains asymptomatic for an extended period of time, leading to its diagnosis at an advanced stage. If doctors suspect this malignant disease, the patient must undergo a comprehensive diagnostic examination, the results of which will allow the doctors of the department to develop an optimal treatment regimen. The main diagnostic method for suspected colon cancer is a colonoscopy, which allows a specialist to visually assess the condition of the inner surface of the intestine. If necessary, suspicious areas of the intestine can be removed for histological examination during a colonoscopy. The patient also undergoes a series of laboratory tests, such as blood tests, including tumor markers, urine tests, and stool tests. An integral part of the diagnostic process is the performance of imaging tests, such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI scans. These methods allow the size of the tumor and the spread of the cancer process to be assessed. The first-line treatment for colon cancer is usually surgery, which is performed by abdominal surgeons. In the early stages, the tumor can be removed using endoscopic techniques. Chemotherapy is an important part of the treatment regimen. Depending on individual clinical indications, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and/or immunotherapy may also be used.

Patients with lung cancer are also the focus of the department's team of oncologists. A malignant tumor in the lung is difficult to suspect at an early stage because of the absence of symptoms. The first diagnostic stage is an X-ray. If clinically indicated, CT, MRI, and/or PET/CT scans are also performed. When diagnosing lung cancer, doctors may also perform a bronchoscopy (endoscopic examination). In some cases, a mediastinoscopy and/or a thoracoscopy may be needed. An integral part of the diagnostic process is a biopsy followed by histological examination. As for the treatment, the main method is surgery, the extent of which depends on the stage of the cancer and the individual clinical data of the patient. The surgical procedure is complemented by conservative methods such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.

Patients with esophageal, stomach, pancreatic, breast, prostate, testicular, kidney, bladder, and ovarian cancers also often seek medical help from the department. The specialists at the medical facility have extensive experience in providing medical care to patients with primary peritoneal cancer and cancer of unknown primary. A treatment regimen for each patient is developed jointly by oncologists, surgeons, and radiation therapists. The department's oncologists are responsible for conducting neoadjuvant and adjuvant systemic therapy and providing palliative care to patients with end-stage cancer to relieve pain and improve quality of life.

The department's team of hematologists specializes in the treatment of malignant diseases of the hematopoietic system. The doctors most commonly deal with the treatment of lymphomas (non-Hodgkin lymphomas and Hodgkin lymphomas), multiple myeloma, and acute and chronic leukemia. The medical facility also regularly treats patients with myeloproliferative disorders, including chronic myelogenous leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. It is worth noting that the department has an in-house specialized laboratory for testing bone marrow samples. This diagnostic test is the most informative for suspected blood cancer. Chemotherapy is an effective treatment for hematological malignancies. The department's specialists develop an individual chemotherapy treatment regimen for each patient based on the recommendations of the German Society for Hematology and Medical Oncology (DGHO), the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and the American Society of Hematology (ASH). The last-line treatment is a bone marrow transplant. This therapeutic procedure is not performed in the department, but the doctors work closely with the respective departments at the University Hospital Cologne, the University Hospital Bonn, and the University Hospital Essen, which have many years of experience in the field of bone marrow transplantation.

The department also provides treatment to patients with benign blood diseases, such as congenital and acquired bleeding disorders (hemorrhagic diathesis and thromboembolic diseases), anemia, and immunodeficiencies. The doctors at the medical facility carry out infusion therapy with concentrates of red blood cells and platelets and also administer immunoglobulins intravenously to treat the above-mentioned diseases. Benign blood disorders are usually treated on an outpatient basis.

The department's key clinical focuses include the following:

  • Oncology
    • Diagnostics and treatment of colon cancer
    • Diagnostics and treatment of lung cancer
    • Diagnostics and treatment of esophageal cancer
