Department of Leukemia Treatment and Stem Cell Transplantation
Specialized in: leukemia treatment, stem cell transplantation About the Department of Leukemia Treatment and Stem Cell Transplantation at University Hospital Mannheim
The Department of Leukemia Treatment and Stem Cell Transplantation at the University Hospital Mannheim offers the full range of services in these medical fields. The medical team of the department specializes in the treatment of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia, as well as patients requiring autologous stem cell transplantation. To this end, the department has state-of-the-art equipment and all the necessary conditions. The department is headed by PD Dr. med. Stefan Klein.
In order to protect patients from infections, the department is fitted out with seven patient rooms, in which the best possible sterility is observed (HEPA filters). In addition, each patient room is equipped with a special highly effective monitoring system that allows doctors and nurses to constantly monitor patient’s vital functions. It is possible to provide non-invasive artificial ventilation (CPAP) in the ward.
The patients of the department often have to spend a long time in the hospital, since a full recovery takes much time. To ensure that the patient can maintain the body in a tone, not lose muscle strength and maintain mobility, the department offers various physiotherapeutic options.
The basic procedures and techniques include:
- General therapeutic exercise
- Respiratory therapy
- Manual lymphatic drainage
- Classic and special massage
- Trigger point stimulation
- Relaxation techniques
- Endurance training
- Training to improve coordination of movements and balance
- Aromatherapy
- Neurophysiological methods
- Yoga therapy
- Other techniques
In the treatment of physical pathologies, the patient’s emotional state is also of great importance, which is rarely good with a diagnosis such as leukemia. Therefore, the department employs psycho-oncologists, who are always ready to listen to the patient and carry out the necessary work with him/her, in most cases contributing to positive treatment results.
