About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Radiation Therapy, Ion Radiotherapy and Radiation Oncology at University Hospital Heidelberg

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Radiation Therapy, Ion Radiotherapy and Radiation Oncology at the University Hospital Heidelberg offers the full range of radiological diagnostics and cancer therapy. A feature of the department is the exact treatment of cancer with the help of heavy ions and proton therapy. Therapy with heavy ions and protons makes it possible to effectively destroy tumors of difficult-to-reach localization, while maintaining healthy tissues. The department belongs to the most modern medical institutions of this level in the international medical arena. It treats more than 3,500 cancer patients every year. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Jürgen Debus.

The service range of the department includes:

  • Imaging diagnostics and planning
