Centre for Internal Medicine Clinic for Haematology and Oncology

Apart from the treatment of general internistic disorders, we offer the whole range of haematooncological diagnostics and therapy. One emphasis is transplantation of autologous peripheral stem cells, which takes place in a specifically equipped treatment unit. Here, patients with lymphomas, multiple myelomas and germ cell tumours are treated. 

The treatment of malignant diseases takes place on an interdisciplinary basis in cooperation with Stuttgart Cancer Centre – Tumour Centre Eva Mayr Stihl. Differentiated coordinated treatment strategies are defined in the context of tumour conferences.

Our Study Centre coordinates more than 50 innovative clinical studies and provides cooperation between large study groups. We provide a palliative department with 14 beds and palliative medical counselling service.
