About the department
The Department of Gastroenterology, Oncology, Pulmonology and Endocrinology at the Park-Clinic Weissensee Berlin offers the full range of preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic services for patients suffering from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, oncopathologies, respiratory diseases, and diabetes mellitus. Doctors make an accurate diagnosis using modern endoscopic techniques, functional diagnostics of the gastrointestinal tract, pulmonary function testing, including bronchoscopy, ultrasound scans, and other diagnostic procedures. The advanced technical equipment and professionalism of the department's specialists allow for consistently high treatment success rates. The department's team of doctors annually treats more than 3,500 patients with clinical cases of varying severity. It is important for the department's specialists that a patient receives an effective and comprehensive treatment, so they cooperate closely with general and abdominal surgeons. The highly qualified doctors with rich clinical experience take care of the health of their patients. The specialists always strive to achieve the optimal treatment result while considering all the patient's needs and wishes. The department is headed by Dr. med. Rebecca Tschöpe.
The department is deservedly proud of its achievements in gastroenterology. The specialists in this field diagnose and treat various diseases of the digestive system, namely pathologies of the stomach, small and large intestines, esophagus, and rectum. They use laboratory tests, functional diagnostics, and endoscopic procedures to detect pathological changes in the functioning of the gastrointestinal organs. The department performs more than 4,000 endoscopic examinations annually. For this purpose, comfortable rooms with advanced endoscopic equipment are available. In addition, the department's doctors successfully carry out endoscopic treatment of benign and malignant (at the early stages) neoplasms of the digestive system, stenosis, obstruction, and internal bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopic treatment is sparing and does not require any skin incisions, which eliminates serious risks to the patient's health.
In the field of oncology, the department offers conservative treatment of solid tumors of all organs and anatomical structures of the body, as well as blood and lymphatic system cancers. The department's oncologists are responsible for chemotherapy, antibody therapy, and immunotherapy. The specialists participate in interdisciplinary tumor boards, during which they, together with surgeons, radiation therapists, and other experts, develop an individual treatment regimen for each patient. In particularly complex clinical cases, doctors from partner Cancer Centers can be involved in the therapeutic process. Patients with advanced cancer are provided with high-quality palliative care, which allows them to get rid of pain and lead a decent life. Qualified psychological care is also provided as needed, because not all patients are able to cope with the emotional shock of a cancer diagnosis and the debilitating treatment on their own.
Pulmonology is also one of the important focuses of the medical facility. The medical team diagnoses and treats diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract. The department's diagnostic options in this area include laboratory tests, imaging tests (X-ray, CT, and MRI scans), pulmonary function tests, and endoscopic tests. As for treatment, the department offers drug therapy, endoscopic procedures (bronchoscopy to remove foreign bodies in the airways, removal of small neoplasms, dilatation for bronchial lumen stenosis, etc.), non-invasive and invasive ventilation.
The department's doctors also treat patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as all other forms of this pathology. The department's specialists carry out initial diagnostic examinations for suspected diabetes mellitus, give recommendations on lifestyle modification, and prescribe the necessary treatment, which may include insulin therapy, including pump therapy, and the intake of hypoglycemic drugs. The department also provides medical care to patients with complications of diabetes mellitus.
