Gynecologic oncology

The therapeutic procedure with regard to the disease is coordinated for the patients in the tumor conference, an interdisciplinary group of specialists. Specialists from the fields of surgical and oncological gynecology, internal oncology, radiology, radiotherapy, nuclear medicine and pathology discuss the diagnosis and individual treatment of patients on a weekly basis. Our direct contact with research enables us to carry out state-of-the-art examination and treatment procedures. This enables us to offer patients high-quality treatment and participation in clinical studies and to immediately incorporate the latest findings into diagnosis and treatment. The tumor conference protocol serves as the basis for a subsequent detailed information and consultation with the patient. The three pillars of treatment for primary (non-metastatic) breast cancer consist of surgical therapy, systemic therapies and radiotherapy.

In the metastatic situation (spread to other organs), we speak of a chronic disease and systemic therapies are in the foreground in order to delay further progression of the disease. At the same time, the therapies should also aim to maintain quality of life.

Physicians in private practice are welcome to participate in the tumor conference, and patients can also be presented for joint consultation in this setting. Here you will find further information and all the necessary documents for registering patients for the tumor conference.

A presentation in the relevant consultation/outpatient clinic or inpatient admission is also possible, depending on medical requirements.

Time: every Wednesday, 2:45 pm

Location: on the ground floor of the Women's Clinic, Building K 11 - Level S0 - Conference Room 3240

Genetic counseling is an important part of patient care for hereditary diseases. It is available to anyone who is concerned that the illnesses that have occurred in their family may have been caused by a hereditary predisposition. Sick and healthy family members can present themselves for genetic counseling. Furthermore, genetic counseling is a service provided by statutory health insurance companies and is usually also covered by private health insurance companies.

A very young age of onset, the occurrence of breast and ovarian cancer in several members of the maternal and paternal line or the occurrence of breast cancer on both sides can be indications of a genetic cause. If there is a certain risk constellation, genetic testing can be carried out using a blood sample in the Department of Human Genetics at the MHH, with which we work closely.

Do you have questions about familial or hereditary cancer? Please contact the Human Genetics Department.
