"The objective of the Division of Haematology and Oncology, here at the University Medical Centre Freiburg, is the diagnostics and treatment of patients with cancer in accordance with world standards and the most up-to-date methods. Our goal is to cure as many patients as possible and to improve their quality of life. Over 90 doctors and scientists work in our division with more than 8,600 people undergoing in-patient treatment each year."

Chemotherapy, hormonotherapy, immunotherapy, autologous and allogenic transplantation of bone marrow and stem cells are the most commonly used treatment methods here in our division. All of these mentioned methods can be combined with each other. We cooperate with different departments at the University Medical Centre Freiburg and therefore offer a basis for radiological or surgical intervention. Numerous methods, such as pain therapy, nutrition or diet therapy, physiotherapy and psychological counselling, are also used.
We strive to apply all of the most recent and effective treatment methods to achieve our aim. We simultaneously conduct further clinical research for the development of new methods that help cure more and more cancer patients or delay the progression of this disease for a long time.
