About the department

The Department of Hematology and Oncology at the University Hospital Rechts der Isar Munich offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in these fields. The highly qualified team of the department's doctors provides effective treatment of all cancers and blood pathologies (for example, leukemia, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's and Hodgkin's lymphoma) in accordance with the very latest international standards. The department performs autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, as well as provides innovative CAR T-cell therapy. It should be noted that the department is certified as the Comprehensive Cancer Center Munich, and also has a quality certificate from the German Cancer Society. The medical facility has the very latest equipment, implements innovative treatment methods, and at the same time pays due attention to comprehensive consultations and a humane attitude towards patients. Patients can get special nutrition counselling, as well as competent psychological care. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Florian Bassermann.

Treatment tactics are developed at interdisciplinary tumor boards with the participation of hematologists, oncologists, surgeons, radiation therapists, radiologists, specialists in the field of pathological anatomy and nuclear medicine, so that each patient receives an optimal treatment plan corresponding to his particular clinical case. The department's main therapeutic options include classical chemotherapy, high-dose chemotherapy, targeted therapy, multimodal therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, combined chemoradiation therapy, surgical treatment methods, etc.

It is worth highlighting the progressive type of CAR T-cell therapy. The essence of this treatment method is the collection of T-cells from the patient's body using apheresis and their follow-up processing, which makes it possible to program leukocytes for recognizing and destroying cancer cells. Once processed, leukocytes will be administered into the patient's body by an intravenous infusion. CAR T-cell therapy has shown excellent results, especially in cases where other treatment methods have failed. Another advantage of this therapeutic option is the low risk of side effects after the course of treatment. Even if they do develop, the side effects are temporary and can be easily controlled with medications. Indications for CAR T-cell therapy are aggressive lymphomas, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and advanced multiple myeloma.

The department is also justly proud of its achievements in the field of autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The doctors of the medical facility have over 30 years of successful experience in the field of autologous bone marrow transplantation. This procedure is indicated to patients with multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, germ cell tumors, sarcomas, etc. Allogeneic transplantation has been performed in the department since 2002. This type of treatment can be used in patients with acute or chronic leukemia, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and severe aplastic anemia. The department has a certificate from the Joint Accreditation Committee JACIE, which confirms the high competence of the medical facility in this area.

  • Hematology
    • Acute and chronic leukemia
    • Malignant lymphomas (Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas)

About hospital

The University Hospital Rechts der Isar Munich was founded in 1834. It combines long traditions with the very latest advances in modern medicine. The medical facility includes 33 specialized departments and 20 interdisciplinary centers, where patients can receive top-class medical care in all medical fields. 

The hospital annually admits more than 65,000 inpatients for diagnostics and treatment, and about 250,000 outpatients receive effective medical care. The hospital also performs more than 40,000 surgical procedures every year, and about 2,100 babies are born here annually. One of the most significant achievements of the medical facility can be called the first transplantation of both arms above the elbow performed in 2008. The surgery that lasted 15 hours, and in which 40 doctors of various medical specialties took part, became a real sensation in the scientific world. Thanks to a unique surgical procedure, the doctors managed to give the patient new hands.

In addition, the employees of the hospital are actively involved in research activities, in which they study various diseases, as well as develop new therapeutic options for their treatment. It should be noted that the research institutes of the hospital are among the most reputable research organizations in the world. A striking example can be considered the Roman Herzog Comprehensive Cancer Center, whose specialists cooperate closely with the Comprehensive Cancer Center Munich in order to find new treatment methods for cancers.

The university hospital has a strict quality management system to maintain a high level of patient care. Since 2011, the hospital has been certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 at the national and international level. The medical facility was also recertified by TÜV Rheinland in 2020.
