Department of Oncology and Hematology
Specialized in: oncology, hematology About the Department of Oncology and Hematology at University Hospital Oldenburg
The Department of Oncology and Hematology at the University Hospital Oldenburg offers the full range of services in these medical fields. The department provides the diagnostics and treatment of all oncological diseases, benign and malignant blood diseases. The therapeutic options of the department include standard treatment methods, innovative protocols of therapy, as well as international treatment concepts. To ensure comprehensive and most effective treatment, there is maintained close cooperation with many departments of the hospital. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Claus-Henning Köhne.
The treatment starts with the comprehensive examination and individual consultations. The department has at its disposal many effective methods for cancer treatment. Of particular importance in oncology is an individual approach and the development of the treatment tactics according to a specific clinical case. The method of treatment is determined at the interdisciplinary tumor board, in which all the necessary specialists take part, namely, surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, radiation therapists and others. The tumor is mostly performed by means of surgery. Thanks to modern surgical methods and advanced technologies, many operations can be performed using a minimally invasive technique, which contributes to speedy postoperative recovery and minimal pain. However, one operation may not be enough, so surgical treatment can be supplemented with high-quality chemotherapy, including high-dose chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiation therapy. In case of incurable diseases, the department’s specialists prescribe palliative care, which aims to prevent complications and tumor growth.
In the field of hematology, the department offers the treatment of all benign and malignant diseases of the blood and lymphatic system, including blood clotting disorders. The main method of treating blood cancer is classical or high-dose chemotherapy. The high-dose therapy is only used if the chances of recovery with standard chemotherapy are rather low. This type of therapy has a number of side effects, but it guarantees a high chance of recovery.
