About the department
The Department of Hematology, Oncology, Hemostaseology, Rheumatology and Infectology at the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main offers the full range of medical services in the fields of its specialization. The department specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of all diseases of the hematopoietic system, systemic treatment of solid tumors, infectious diseases, including outpatient admission of patients with HIV, blood clotting disorders, as well as the entire clinical and morphological group of rheumatic diseases. The department is actively engaged in research activities and regularly implements the latest medical developments into clinical practice, thereby providing treatment in accordance with the most advanced scientific achievements. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Hubert Serve.
In the field of hematology and oncology, special attention is paid to the diagnostics and treatment of acute and chronic leukemia, malignant lymphoma, as well as the treatment of such solid tumors as lung cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, renal cell carcinoma, as well as soft tissue and bone sarcoma. The department includes the Transplant Center, which offers stem cell and bone marrow transplantations. With an annual number of 80-100 transplantations, the department is one of the leading centers of this kind in Germany. It transplants both autologous (patient’s own) and allogeneic (donor) stem cells. In order to provide medical services in accordance with the latest medical achievements, the department actively cooperates with the University Cancer Center Frankfurt.
Among a wide range of rheumatic diseases, the focus is on inflammatory systemic diseases. These include rheumatoid arthritis, reactive arthritis, spondyloarthropathies (for example, Bechterew's disease, psoriatic arthritis), gouty arthritis, hemochromatosis, systemic collagenoses (for example, systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, systemic scleroderma), vasculitis, and Behcet's disease, etc. The patients are offered the very latest diagnostic and therapeutic options, including low-field MRI, joint puncture, monoclonal antibody therapy and innovative therapies within the clinical trials.
All pathologies of the hematopoietic system are treated within the specialized Hemostaseology/Hemophilia Center. This center has long experience in comprehensive diagnostics, therapy and counseling of patients with such diseases of the hematopoietic system as hemophilia, von Willebrand-Jürgens syndrome, rare blood clotting disorders, etc.
The department’s medical service range is complemented by infectology. It successfully treats all severe, complex and unspecified infectious diseases caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses. The department's specialists have particular competence in the treatment of tropical diseases, infectious complications of immunosuppression, bacteremia and endocarditis, infections with resistant pathogens, fever of unknown origin, all stages of HIV infection, etc.
