Department of Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplant
Specialized in: hematology, bone marrow transplant About the Department of Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplant at Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch
The Department of Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplant at the Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with benign and malignant diseases of the hematopoietic and lymphatic systems. The department specializes in the treatment of acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, malignant lymphomas, myelomas, chronic myeloproliferative diseases, benign blood diseases and hematopoiesis. The patients' health is in the reliable hands of an experienced team of doctors who have a perfect command of all the classic and innovative treatments. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Bertram Glass.
The doctors of the department consider accurate diagnostics the key to successful treatment. In this regard, the department has a special laboratory for conducting molecular biological studies of blood, bone marrow and lymphatic fluid. Imaging and endoscopic diagnostic procedures are provided as well. The bone marrow diagnostics is carried out using cytological, cytochemical and immunocytochemical methods, i.e. testing of individual cells and their components at the microbiological level. Also, the diagnostic spectrum is supplemented by biopsy and puncture procedures. Thus, the department offers all the studies for providing the comprehensive diagnostics, the results of which will become the basis for developing the most effective individual treatment regimen.
A special focus of the department's work is bone marrow transplant. The department performs both autologous and allogeneic transplants. The first version of the procedure involves transplanting the patient's own bone marrow, while the second option consists in transplanting the bone marrow from the donor. In the case of autologous bone marrow transplantation, tissues are taken from the patient himself, after which they undergo special treatment and are administered again after chemotherapy or radiation therapy completion. Also, this type of therapy can be used independently, if chemotherapy does not give the expected result. The bone marrow transplant procedure takes place in a hospital setting, after which the patient receives the necessary care and monitoring. It is worth noting that the department’s specialists not only successfully use bone marrow transplantation in their clinical practice, but also participate in international research, including in the conditions of their in-house special laboratory, where they further study this field of medicine. The department has a reputation as one of the best medical centers for bone marrow transplant at the national level.
The department's field of competence includes the diagnostics and treatment of the following diseases:
- Acute leukemias
- Myelodysplastic syndromes (impaired formation of blood cells in the bone marrow)
- Chronic myeloproliferative diseases
- Malignant lymphomas: Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (malignant tumors of the lymphatic system)
- Multiple myeloma (cancer of the hematopoietic system with plasma cell proliferation)
- Benign blood diseases, such as immune thrombocytopenia or hemolytic anemia
- Drug-induced hematopoiesis
- Other diseases
The therapeutic service range of the department includes:
- Bone marrow transplant (autologous and allogeneic)
- Different types of radiation therapy
- Antibody immunotherapy
- Targeted therapy
- Classical chemotherapy
- High-dose chemotherapy
- Other treatments
