The Department of Oncology at the Hirslanden Salem-Spital Bern offers a wide range of services for the prevention, diagnostics, treatment and follow-up of patients with malignant tumors of various organs and anatomical structures. The treatment is based on an interdisciplinary approach, which implies the participation in the therapeutic process of all the necessary specialists in related fields, for example, when treating uterine cancer, a woman is supervised not only by oncologists, but also by gynecologists, radiation therapists, radiologists, etc. The department has excellent technical infrastructure for conducting first-class diagnostics and effective treatment even in the advanced stages of cancer pathologies. At the terminal stages of cancer, the patients are prescribed palliative therapy to alleviate pain and improve the quality of life. The department is headed by Dr. med. Esther Bärtschi.
The treatment of oncological diseases is mostly based on three basic forms of therapy. These include surgical resection of the tumor and affected tissues, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Other relevant methods are also used for appropriate clinical indications, for example, hormone therapy, antibody therapy, immunotherapy, etc. The decisive factors in the choice of treatment tactics are the stage of the oncological process, the localization and size of the tumor, the presence or absence of metastases. Given all these aspects, the doctors jointly develop the optimal treatment regimen. Once the full course of treatment is completed, it will necessary to have follow-up care – regular follow-up examinations to confirm remission or timely detection of relapse.
