Centre for Internal Medicine Clinic for General Internal Medicine, Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Infectiology, Pneumology
Our clinic provides care for patients with diseases from all internistic fields. One focal point is gastroenterological oncology and hepatology as well as pneumology.
We offer an entire range of endoscopic (24/7 on-call duty) and sonographic diagnostics as well as interventional-therapeutic methods beneath specific procedures such as photo-dynamics, mucosa resection, endosonography including endosonographically-controlled interventions as well as mini-laparoscopies. Gastroenterologically-emphasized oncology also provides any type of (neo-) adjuvant and palliative chemotherapies for gastrointestinal tumours – including neuro-endocrine tumours and GIST. The process of coming to a decision is taking place on an interdisciplinary field - in the context of tumour conferences.
Another emphasis is nutritional medicine, practised by an interdisciplinary team, consisting of physicians, dieticians and specialised nurses. This clinic disposes of full authorisation to provide education for certification of gastroenterologists, hepatologists and infectiologists.
