The Department of Oncology, Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplantation at the University Hospital of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich provides the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services to patients with malignant solid tumors, and benign and malignant blood pathologies. Of particular interest is the treatment of patients with acute leukemia, lymphomas, multiple myeloma, sarcomas, gastrointestinal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and rare malignant tumors. The department is part of the Comprehensive Cancer Center Munich, thanks to which doctors from related specialties are involved in the therapeutic process. All modern diagnostic methods and therapeutic procedures are available here, including bone marrow transplantation, which is often the most effective treatment method for blood cancer. The health of patients is in the safe hands of a highly qualified medical team, consisting of 65 doctors and 130 nurses. The department treats about 2,800 inpatients and more than 10,000 outpatients every year. The department's specialists pay due attention to the psychological state of their patients diagnosed with cancer, so a program of psycho-oncological care is being successfully implemented here. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. Dr. Michael von Bergwelt.
Healthcare professionals in the field of oncology admit patients with various types of cancer. The department's team of doctors pays special attention to treating colon, stomach, esophageal, pancreatic, liver, bile duct, lung, and breast cancers, as well as bone and soft tissue sarcomas. Doctors are particularly skilled at treating rare malignant solid tumors, such as neuroendocrine tumors and cancers of unknown primary. Upon admission to the department, a patient undergoes diagnostic tests, based on the results of which oncologists, together with surgeons, radiation therapists, radiologists, and other specialists, develop the most effective treatment regimen. As a rule, it is practically impossible to do without surgery. Depending on the particular clinical case, a treatment regimen may also include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, antibody therapy, targeted therapy, hormonal therapy, or immunotherapy. The department's oncologists successfully use hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy to treat bone and soft tissue sarcomas. Hyperthermia improves the effectiveness of chemotherapy by increasing blood flow to the tumor, allowing chemotherapy agents to penetrate deeper into the neoplasm tissues. Psychological care is also an integral part of the therapeutic process, since it is very important to maintain a patient's positive attitude towards a successful treatment outcome in the fight against cancer.
The key focus of the hematology team is the treatment of patients with leukemias, lymphomas, and multiple myeloma. The specialists also treat benign blood diseases, such as anemia and hemoglobinuria. Chemotherapy is an indispensable method in the fight against blood cancer. The department's therapeutic options are, however, not limited to this type of treatment. The department is one of the few in Europe that offers an innovative form of immunotherapy called CAR T-cell therapy. The essence of the method is to harvest the patient's leukocytes and genetically program them to destroy cancer cells. Leukocytes are harvested with the use of special high-tech equipment, after which the resulting biological material is genetically modified. As a result of genetic manipulations, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) appear on the surface of leukocytes. After the processing and multiplication of cells in the laboratory, they are administered into the patient's body by infusion. CAR T-cell therapy is highly effective and can cure even the most complex cases of blood cancer.
The department's spectrum of therapeutic services is complemented by a bone marrow transplant, which is often indicated for patients with advanced leukemias, lymphomas, and multiple myeloma. The department's specialists have been performing bone marrow transplantation procedures since 1979. The Section for Bone Marrow Transplantation has 24 beds, and thus this is the largest medical facility of this kind in Germany. Every year, more than 100 allogeneic bone marrow transplant procedures (transplantation of donor stem cells) are performed here. The department's transplantation success rate is one of the highest in Europe. This is not surprising, as the department employs professional doctors and has advanced technical resources.
