Prerequisite for registration

Registration and discussion of patients in the Molecular Tumor Board (MTB) if the following conditions are met:

• Advanced tumor disease with failure of guideline-compliant standard therapy or no prospect of success with the still available guideline-compliant standard therapy
• Rare/aggressive oncological diseases or those with an unusual clinical course may be presented at an earlier stage
• Recommendation for molecular genetic diagnostics with subsequent presentation in the molecular tumor board by organ tumor conference
• Physical and mental condition and life expectancy justify continuation of treatment

Colleagues outside the MHH can also present their patients to our Molecular Tumor Board in order to receive a possible alternative treatment recommendation based on molecular analyses.

Moleculardiagnostics are already available: Register your patient directly via the registration form with the findings for the Molecular Tumor Board.

Molecular diagnosticsare not yet available: If no molecular pathological diagnostics are available, you have the option of having these carried out by the MHH pathology department. To do this, send the sample material to the pathology department and order the corresponding analysis.

You also have the option of a combined registration of analysis in the pathology department with subsequent presentation to the molecular tumor board. To do this, you send a completed registration form to the pathology department together with the order for the analysis and the presentation at the molecular tumor board is then initiated internally.
