About the Department of Mammology at Hirslanden Clinic Aarau

The Department of Mammology at the Hirslanden Clinic Aarau specializes in the comprehensive diagnostics and treatment of breast diseases. The priority focus of clinical practice is the prevention, diagnostics and treatment of breast cancer. The department is headed by Dr. med. Christian Alder.

The work of the department’s specialists is based on interdisciplinary treatment – mammologists, gynecologists, oncologists, radiation therapists and plastic surgeons are involved in the therapeutic process. The department holds weekly tumor boards with the participation of all the necessary doctors who jointly develop an individual treatment regimen for each patient. The main treatment methods include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Whenever possible, operations are performed using sparing minimally invasive techniques.

The modern diagnostic and treatment methods are complemented by a carefully thought-out oncological rehabilitation program. The goal of this program is to restore physical performance, improve self-esteem and maintain a positive attitude, which in combination facilitates reintegration into everyday life.

The department is certified by the Swiss Cancer League and the Swiss Society of Senology, which indicates compliance with the highest standards of modern medicine in a health facility.
