About the department
The Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine at the University Hospital Greifswald provides the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in the area of its specialization. The medical facility admits newborn babies, young children, and adolescents with general, oncological, hematological, and neurological diseases, as well as with endocrine pathologies and metabolic disorders. The health of young patients is in the safe hands of a team of highly qualified specialists who have in their arsenal many modern diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. The department has a modern infrastructure to provide effective medical care to children and play areas that allow young patients to feel as comfortable as possible here. The department was awarded the prestigious Ausgezeichnet FÜR KINDER certificate, which indicates top-class medical care and the highest competence of medical personnel. In addition, the history of the medical facility is more than 100 years old, so it has long gained fame not only in Germany but throughout Europe.
The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Holger Lode. He is a world-famous, highly qualified expert in the area of his specialization. He conducts active research activities, the results of which are striking in their innovation and create opportunities for treating diseases that were previously considered incurable.
In the field of general pediatrics, special attention is paid to treating respiratory diseases, infections, allergic reactions, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys, as well as rheumatic pathologies. Specialists from other departments at the university hospital are engaged in the therapeutic process, if necessary, which contributes to comprehensive and interdisciplinary medical care. The department has advanced equipment for comprehensive diagnostics of the child's body, and the current clinical protocols are strictly met here, thanks to which pediatricians regularly demonstrate high treatment success rates. A treatment regimen is developed individually for each patient. In most cases, children receive medical treatment using pills, ointments, gels, injections, infusions, etc. In certain pathologies of the digestive and respiratory systems, endoscopic procedures can also be performed.
An important place in the department’s clinical practice is occupied by pediatric oncology and hematology. All diagnostic and therapeutic interventions are carried out in compliance with the strictest standards of the German Society of Paediatric Oncology and Hematology (GPOH) and the quality criteria of the Federal Joint Committee for the Care of Children and Adolescents with Hematological and Oncological Diseases. As the university center, the department cooperates closely with other medical facilities in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which allows children to receive the best medical care indicated for their disease. Thanks to the close interdisciplinary cooperation of doctors with other departments at the University Hospital Greifswald, in particular with the Departments of Pediatric Surgery, Neurosurgery, Radiology, and Radiation Therapy, each child receives optimal therapy and individual care. In the course of treatment of solid tumors, doctors usually perform tumor resection, which may be supplemented by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and other therapeutic measures. Chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for malignant blood diseases. Aggressive blood cancers often require a bone marrow transplant. The department's pediatric hematologists also specialize in treating benign diseases of the hematopoietic system, including various types of anemia and blood-clotting disorders.
The department offers a wide range of services in the treatment of young patients with endocrine diseases, diabetes mellitus, metabolic disorders, and puberty disorders. Of particular clinical interest to the department's specialists is the diagnostics and treatment of children with growth disorders, such as gigantism and short stature. As a rule, hormone tests and ultrasound scans are enough to make a diagnosis, after which the child is prescribed the optimal drug therapy under constant medical supervision. In addition, young patients with diabetes mellitus are regularly admitted to the department. Since diabetes mellitus is still an incurable disease, therapy is aimed at preventing the development of complications and improving the quality of life of the child. The department provides consultations for parents on the proper nutrition and lifestyle of their child, and here one can also learn how to use devices for self-monitoring of blood glucose levels. Treatment of endocrine disorders is mainly based on the intake of individually prescribed hormonal medicines.
The department also has unique experience treating neurological and neuromuscular diseases in children of various age groups. The department's pediatric neurologists most often treat young patients with chronic headaches, epilepsy, spasticity, cerebral palsy, and developmental disorders. Prior to starting treatment, the department's doctors carry out a physical examination and listen to the child's complaints, after which they prescribe comprehensive diagnostics to detect disorders in the functioning of the nervous system. The treatment tactics are determined depending on the neurological pathology. For example, the first-line treatment for epilepsy is drug therapy with the normalization of the daily routine and a special diet, and when treating cerebral palsy, physical therapy, massage, the author's rehabilitation techniques (the Bobath concept, the Vojta therapy, etc.), and orthotics come to the fore, which are complemented by concomitant drug therapy.

Research Activities and Scientific Contribution
Prof. Lode was awarded a Research Fellowship from the German Research Foundation in 1996, which he used for his postdoctoral training at the Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA in tumor immunology. In 1999, he joined the Scripps Research Institute as a Junior Faculty Member, where he created a tumor model to study immunotherapeutic approaches in a deadly and life-threatening childhood cancer (neuroblastoma). He demonstrated that treatment with immunocytokines, which are antibody-cytokine fusion proteins, is effective in this model and that this approach is synergistic with angiogenesis inhibition and tumor vaccines. This groundbreaking discovery has been approved for clinical application and is subject to ongoing clinical trials (PM Sondel). In 2000, he continued his training in Pediatrics at the Charite University Hospital Berlin. At the same time, he was awarded an Emmy Noether Fellowship from the German Research Foundation with a focus on immunotherapy for neuroblastoma. During this period, he developed new approaches by means of genetic vaccination to treat malignant disease. In particular, combinations of DNA vaccines with the introduction of a tumor-specific immunocytokine are an important discovery for increasing the effectiveness of DNA vaccination. In 2002, he became a Member of the SIOPEN group and got involved in the clinical development of a monoclonal antibody directed against ganglioside GD2 (ch14.18/CHO). Professor investigated for the first time a novel delivery method of this antibody (patent), and he is currently leading two international clinical trials with this antibody.
