About the department

The Department of Oncology at the Prof. Harald-Robert Bruch Cancer Clinic Bonn offers a wide range of medical services in its area of specialization. The department's clinical priorities include comprehensive diagnosis of patients with suspected malignant diseases and the provision of second opinions, which helps ensure the correctness of the diagnosis and prescribed treatment. The department also has successful experience in the field of systemic cancer treatment. The department's oncologists carry out chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy. For this purpose, the medical facility provides comfortable treatment rooms. The department's specialists cooperate with Radiation Oncology Clinics in Bonn, so patients can also receive chemoradiotherapy if clinically indicated. The therapeutic offer is complemented by nutritional counseling and psychological support for cancer patients. The department's oncology team always devotes enough time to consulting the patient and listening to their wishes. This approach allows for effective medical care that meets the patient's expectations.

The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Harald-Robert Bruch. The doctor has more than 25 years of successful work with patients suffering from cancer of varying complexity. Prof. Bruch has many additional qualifications, including in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, infectology, pain management, and drug tumor therapy. The specialist is a Member of the German Society for Hematology and Medical Oncology (DGHO), the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO), the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and other professional medical societies.

The department is especially in demand for second opinions, which allow a patient diagnosed with cancer to receive an expert assessment of their clinical case from a specialized physician. Malignant diseases often require comprehensive treatment with multiple therapeutic modalities. Patients therefore seek medical help from specialized healthcare facilities and receive a second opinion on the advisability of a specific therapeutic procedure. There are also cases when the results of a repeat diagnosis within the framework of a second opinion refute a previously made diagnosis because, despite progress, there is still a problem of diagnostic errors in medicine, which can subsequently harm a person's health. The department's team of oncologists is highly professional and is always ready to help and provide independent advice on a specific clinical situation.

An equally important focus for the department's medical team is diagnostics for suspected cancer or the assessment of the results of treatment in dynamics. The department has its own modern laboratory where specialists perform general clinical and special blood tests. The department also has instrumental diagnostic rooms where clinicians perform ultrasound scans, electrocardiography, echocardiography, and pulmonary function testing. The department has modern endoscopic diagnostic rooms and special facilities for performing ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy. The optimal complex of diagnostic tests for each patient is prescribed individually after a detailed consultation with an oncologist and a study of the patient's anamnesis and medical history.

As for the department's therapeutic offer, doctors specialize in conservative cancer treatment with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy. Chemotherapy, along with surgery and radiation therapy, is one of the main methods of treating oncological diseases. Cytostatic drugs used in chemotherapy help stop the growth and division of cancer cells and prevent them from spreading throughout the body. The therapeutic effect of targeted therapy is achieved by recognizing and targeting tumor cells at the molecular level; targeted therapy is often combined with chemotherapy. Targeted drugs demonstrate high effectiveness for breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, leukemias, and lymphomas. The department's oncologists are also competent in hormone therapy, which is aimed at suppressing the synthesis of the patient's hormones that stimulate the growth of a malignancy. Hormone therapy is indicated for breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other hormone-dependent tumors. The department also offers cancer treatment using immunotherapy. This is an innovative approach in oncology, the principle of which is based on stimulating the patient's own immune system to more actively kill cancer cells.

The department's range of medical services includes the following:

  • Diagnostics
    • Physical examination
    • General clinical blood tests, myelogram, and coagulogram
    • Special laboratory tests for suspected cancer
    • Color-coded ultrasound scanning of the abdominal organs, lymph nodes, soft tissues, heart, and blood vessels
    • Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the bone marrow, liver, lymph nodes, and thyroid gland
    • Pulmonary function tests
    • Electrocardiography, echocardiography, and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring
    • Bioelectrical impedance analysis
    • Videocolonoscopy
    • Videogastroscopy
    • Colonoscopy
    • Liver elastography
  • Treatment
    • Second opinion
    • Chemotherapy
    • Targeted therapy
    • Hormone therapy
    • Immunotherapy
    • Chemoradiation therapy (in collaboration with radiation therapists)
  • Other diagnostic and treatment methods
