Department of Oncology
Specialized in: oncology About the Department of Oncology at Hirslanden Clinic Aarau
The Department of Oncology at the Hirslanden Clinic Aarau offers all the options of modern medicine for the accurate diagnostics and effective treatment of malignant diseases of various organs and anatomical structures of the body. The department is one of the leading medical facilities in Switzerland in the area of its specialization. The Chief Physician of the department is PD Dr. med. Christos Kolotas.
The department regularly holds tumor boards with the participation of oncologists and doctors from related fields, which serve for the development of individual treatment regimens for each patient. A particular importance is also attached to the follow-up monitoring of patients, as it aims to monitor treatment results and prevent cancer recurrence. The patients can be admitted both on an inpatient and outpatient basis.
The department has a well-coordinated team of oncologists, surgical oncologist, radiation therapists, psycho-oncologists and other specialists who provide patients with the comprehensive treatment, which meets current clinical protocols. In most cases, the treatment is based on the surgical removal of the tumor, which is complemented by chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. If desired, the patients can take part in clinical trials. As a rule, this option is relevant for patients with advanced stages of cancer. The patients receive palliative care in order to relieve pain and improve the quality of life.
It is worth noting that the department's specialists have excellent equipment for radiation therapy. The progressive devices allow the doctors to focus the maximum radiation dose on the tumor, while minimizing damage to healthy neighboring tissues. The modern radiation therapy provided in the department also significantly reduces the severity of side effects. The department widely uses such types of radiation therapy as intensity-modulated radiation therapy and imaging-guided radiation therapy. They are among the most effective and innovative types of irradiation.
The department specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of the following diseases:
- Breast cancer
