The physicians of the department are committed to providing patients with the comprehensive medical care of the highest quality, based on the respective attitude towards patients. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Georg Lenz.
One of the key focuses of the department is bone marrow transplantation. This procedure has been carried out here since 1999, therefore, the department’s specialists are proud of their exceptional experience in this field.

The specialists of the department perform more than 150 bone marrow transplantations in adults annually, while ensuring the best possible safety for patients. The bone marrow transplantation is indicated in case of diseases, such as acute and chronic forms of leukemia (AML, ALL, CML, CLL), myeloproliferative diseases, lymphomas, including Hodgkin's lymphoma, severe aplastic anemia, multiple myelomas, etc.
Another, but not less important department’s clinical focus is the treatment of oncological diseases. The therapeutic options in this field comprise all modern and the most effective methods. These include conventional types of chemotherapy, immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapy of tumors with monoclonal antibodies and small molecules, combined chemoradiotherapy (for example, in the case of lung cancer). In addition, the patients of the department can participate in clinical trials of the most advanced drugs, which can show a positive dynamics even in the most complex and severe clinical cases. The service range is complemented by palliative care, which is used to relieve pain and improve the quality of life of patients, psycho-oncological support, which helps patients to cope with the emotional upheaval and maintain a positive attitude throughout the entire therapeutic process.
In the field of hemostaseology, the physicians of the department provide the diagnostics and treatment of all blood coagulation disorders, which can lead to complex, and, in some cases, irreversible consequences, if not treated timely.
The pulmonologists of the department specialize in the treatment of a broad range of lung diseases and pathologies of other organs affecting the lungs. When treating cancer, the department maintains close cooperation with the experts from related specialties (within the framework of the interdisciplinary tumor boards), which allows them to develop optimal treatment strategies tailored to the specific clinical indications. In the clinical practice, all means of flexible and rigid endoscopy are actively used both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, as well as pleural drainage, right heart diagnostics, and ultrasound-guided biopsy.
