Interdisciplinary oncology ward 33

Patients from the three specialist departments of hemato-oncology, radiotherapy and neurology are cared for on the interdisciplinary oncology ward 33. Neurology has a total of 6 beds on the ward.

Patients with primary neuro-oncological tumors such as glioblastoma as well as patients with nervous system involvement (meningeosis neoplastica) are treated for non-primary neuro-oncological tumors. A particular focus of the ward is the diagnosis and treatment of neuroimmunological complaints under modern oncological therapies such as checkpoint inhibitor therapy. In addition, the neurological colleagues have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a viral disease of the brain that is often associated with immunosuppression in the context of underlying malignant diseases.

Patients are admitted electively by appointment or as an emergency via the Central Emergency Room. Patients are seen by a physician every day. The examination results and treatment options are discussed. Senior physician rounds take place twice a week.
