About the department

The Department of Oncology and Hematology at the University Hospital Oldenburg offers a full range of medical services in its areas of expertise. The medical facility diagnoses and treats solid malignant tumors and benign and malignant diseases of the hematopoietic system. The department's therapeutic options include both standard and innovative treatment methods. The medical facility successfully uses chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, antibody therapy, and other therapeutic measures. The medical facility also has gained extensive experience in the field of autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The department's specialists participate in numerous national and international clinical trials, which allows them to offer patients more therapeutic modalities. The department's oncologists closely cooperate with doctors of related specialties, including radiation therapists, radiologists, surgeons, gastroenterologists, gynecologists, urologists, etc. In 2020, the department was certified according to the standards of the German Cancer Society (DKG), and in 2019 received the international JACIE accreditation in the field of bone marrow transplantation. In most cases, patients of the department are treated on an outpatient basis. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Claus Henning Köhne.

Treatment begins with a comprehensive examination and individual consultations. The doctors of the department have at their disposal many effective methods of treating oncological diseases. In the field of oncology, an individual approach and development of a treatment regimen in accordance with a specific clinical case are of crucial importance. The method of treatment is determined in interdisciplinary consultations, in which oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, radiotherapists, and other specialists participate. In most cases, surgery to remove the tumor is the first-line treatment. Thanks to modern surgical techniques and improved technologies, many operations are performed using minimally invasive techniques, which contributes to the fastest postoperative recovery and minimal pain. However, surgery may not be enough, so in some cases surgical treatment is supplemented with chemotherapy, including high-dose chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or antibody therapy. In the case of incurable oncological diseases, the specialists of the department perform palliative therapy, the purpose of which is to prevent complications and provide the patient with a satisfactory quality of life.

In the field of hematology, the department offers treatment for a wide range of 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. High-dose chemotherapy is used when the chances of recovery with standard chemotherapy are quite low. This type of chemotherapy has a number of side effects, but provides a high chance of recovery. In complex clinical situations, doctors perform autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in combination with high-dose chemotherapy.

The diagnosis of oncology is usually a strong emotional shock for the patient, which not everyone can cope with on their own. The department offers help from qualified psychologists: specialists work on the patient's fears about the upcoming treatment and help them to prepare for the fight against cancer and a positive treatment outcome. The psycho-emotional state of the patient also plays an important role in the success of treatment.

The department specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of the following diseases:

  • Oncology
