About the department
The Department of Hematology, Oncology, Rheumatology, Infectology and Bone Marrow Transplantation at the University Hospital Ulm offers modern diagnostics and treatment in all areas of its specialization. The medical facility treats patients with solid malignant tumors of various locations, malignant and benign diseases of the hematopoietic system, rheumatic diseases, and infections. The department enjoys a reputation as one of the leading health facilities for bone marrow transplants in Germany, which is confirmed by accreditation in accordance with JACIE standards. More than 80 allogeneic and more than 100 autologous bone marrow transplants are performed in the medical facility annually. In addition, the department successfully carries out innovative CAR T-cell therapy, which is available only in the most advanced medical centers worldwide. The department is part of the Comprehensive Cancer Center Ulm (CCCU), where a multidisciplinary team of highly professional doctors takes care of the health of patients. The high quality of medical services is confirmed by the certification of the German Cancer Society (DKG). The health of patients is in the safe hands of experienced specialists who strive to provide each patient with the most effective treatment using advanced therapeutic methods. The medical facility has 112 beds and many specialized outpatient clinics.
The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Hartmut Döhner. The specialist is distinguished by his high professionalism in the areas of his specialization and is actively engaged in work on research projects. Prof. Döhner's productive clinical and scientific activities have been recognized with multiple awards and honors. He is a member of German and American professional societies, including the German Society of Hematology and Medical Oncology (DGHO), the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the German Cancer Society (DKG), and the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).
The department has long experience in the treatment of solid malignant tumors. The most common tumors encountered by the department's doctors are lung cancer, kidney cancer, sarcomas, and brain tumors (gliomas, meningiomas, medulloblastomas, and lymphomas). Patients with suspected cancers are diagnosed in collaboration with the Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Radiology. The specialists in gastroenterology, pulmonology, gynecology, urology, neurology, surgery, and others are also engaged in the diagnostic process. Each clinical case is discussed during regular interdisciplinary tumor boards, after which an individual treatment regimen is developed, taking into account diagnostic data, the stage of the disease, the patient's general health condition, their age, and other important factors. The department's doctors use all modern treatment methods available in this field to treat cancer, including various chemotherapy regimens, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy. Surgical treatment is performed in cooperation with specialized surgeons using minimally invasive techniques, if possible.
Malignant diseases of the hematopoietic system are treated jointly by the department's oncologists and hematologists. The specialists regularly treat patients with acute myelogenous leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative neoplasms, multiple myelomas, and malignant lymphomas. The primary treatment method for leukemia is chemotherapy. If chemotherapy fails or the patient develops a leukemia recurrence, a bone marrow transplant is the second-line treatment. Treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome may include red blood cell transfusion, low-dose chemotherapy combined with supportive therapy and immunosuppressive therapy, or high-dose chemotherapy followed by a bone marrow transplant. The treatment regimen for myeloproliferative neoplasms may include transfusion therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and high-dose chemotherapy with a bone marrow transplant. In the fight against multiple myeloma and malignant lymphoma, the best results are achieved in a combination of chemotherapy, antibody therapy, and immunotherapy.
A unique offer for patients with blood cancer is CAR T-cell therapy, which has been performed in the department since 2019. This innovative treatment combines elements of immunotherapy, gene therapy, and cell therapy. The therapeutic effect is achieved by genetically programming the patient's own leukocytes to destroy cancer cells. The department's specialists use advanced equipment to extract leukocytes from blood and genetically modify them to express chimeric antigen receptors (CAR). After multiplication in laboratory conditions, millions of modified cells are infused into the patient. CAR T-cell therapy is a last-line treatment when all other options have been exhausted. Numerous clinical trials have proven the high effectiveness and safety of this treatment method.
It is worth noting that one of the department's priority focuses is allogeneic bone marrow transplants, which have been performed here since 1972. Currently, the department offers all types of allogeneic stem cell transplants (related donors, unrelated donors, haploidentical donors, and umbilical cord blood). The department has certification, which allows it to perform autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplants. It is also certified as a center specializing in harvesting peripheral stem cells and spinal cord tissue according to the JACIE (Joint Accreditation Committee of the ISCT and the EBMT) standards. It is noteworthy that the Bone Marrow Transplant Center at the University Hospital Ulm made a major contribution to the establishment of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), which began its work in 1978. Until today, the department has performed more than 2,500 allogeneic bone marrow transplants and about 2,300 autologous transplants. The department is deservedly proud of its rich experience and successful results in this medical field.
The department has also formed a highly professional team of rheumatologists responsible for the diagnostics and treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, and vasculitis. Patients with these pathologies most often receive drug therapy with biologic drugs, including in the form of infusions.
