About the department
According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Radiation Therapy and Radiation Oncology at the University Hospital Muenster ranks among the top German departments specializing in radiotherapy!
The department offers all types of modern radiation therapy for the treatment of malignant and benign diseases, various functional disorders. Depending on the patient's state of health and the course of the disease, radiation therapy can be carried out on an outpatient or inpatient basis, as well as in combination with other treatment methods, for example, surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc. The high-tech equipment, exceptional professionalism of doctors and close cooperation with the specialists from related fields contribute to the provision of first-class and tailored medical care. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Hans Theodor Eich.
The department has a tomotherapy system and three high-power linear accelerators (TrueBeam). The equipment and irradiation device is selected for each patient individually, depending on the localization of the pathological area. The external radiation, so-called teletherapy, is carried out using a linear accelerator. In this case, the irradiation applies either protons or electrons. With the help of the very latest high-precision technology, the doctors are able to provide an extremely accurate irradiation, which is the most sparing for healthy tissues. The irradiation with a tomotherapy system is mostly used for the treatment of prostate cancer, large spinal cord tumors or other tumors, in which the protection of surrounding organs is particularly difficult.
In order to ensure the best quality of treatment, the department cooperates with other departments of the university hospital, as well as with external partners. Since 2013, the department’s list of bases was supplemented by the section of the St. Francis Hospital in Muenster. Since November 2014, the department has been cooperating with the German CyberKnife Center at the Soest Hospital.
The service range of the department includes:
- Irradiation planning with CT, PET-CT and PET-MRI
- Standard irradiation methods
- Palliative percutaneous irradiation in metastases
- Total body irradiation (before bone marrow transplantation in order to destroy malignant cells and weaken the patient's immune system (in case of donor transplantation))
- Special irradiation methods
- Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (mostly used for the treatment of prostate cancer, head and neck tumors, breast cancer, pediatric and adolescent tumors)
- Extracranial stereotactic radiation therapy (the most common indications are tumors or metastases in the lungs, liver, secondary irradiation of spinal tumors)
- Intracranial stereotactic radiation therapy (an effective and sparing treatment method for certain benign or malignant tumors, brain arteriovenous malformations)
- Single radiation(radiosurgery)
- Fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy
- Brachytherapy (mostly used for the treatment of gynecologic tumors, prostate cancer)
- Other therapeutic options
