Specialized oncological care
Nursing is part of the cross-professional treatment of oncology patients. The MHH offers a comprehensive range of curative and palliative treatment. The nursing staff take on important and varied tasks in all phases of the stay and treatment. Nursing staff are often the first point of contact for cancer patients who are admitted to the Clinical Department with many expectations, uncertainties or fears. Many of our wards have nursing staff with specialist oncology training. All other wards have an oncology-nursing consultation service as well as an interprofessional palliative care consultation service involving nursing.
This is how we are there for you:
- Assessment of symptoms associated with the disease and/or therapy
- Alleviation of symptoms through suitable care measures (e.g. complementary care measures)
- Performing nursing tasks during surgical, radiotherapeutic or drug therapy
- Advising patients and their relatives on prophylaxis, hygiene, care options and aids
- Arranging further contacts, e.g. self-help groups
- Cooperation in the multi-professional team
- Palliative care measures

OPK staff will accompany you during your illness and can support you with the necessary Nursing and treatment. It is important to us that you can understand and actively participate in the treatment process.

Interdisciplinary oncology ward
An "Interdisciplinary Oncology Ward" (IOS) was established at the MHH for inpatient care in order to better bundle and target interdisciplinary oncology expertise. It consists of wards 23 and 33 on the third floor of the MHH ward block. The ward team works closely with interfaces such as the oncology nursing consultation service (OPK), the palliative care consultation service (PMK), wound management, pastoral care, psycho-oncology and other supporting areas.
