World-class specialists work at the University of Freiburg, Germany’s oldest university clinic, which is a public medical facility.
The Cancer Center, which is part of a multi-structured complex, is one of the three most reputable specialized institutions in the country.
One of the features of the cancer center is the treatment of severe and complex cancer pathologies. It is for this reason that patients with inoperable and aggressive forms of cancer come to Freiburg. Comprehensive treatment of liver cancer in Germany, as well as treatment of the pancreas, gives a chance to prolong life, restore efficiency and fitness. Interdisciplinary consultations - the basis for the development of individual treatment regimens that give positive results even in the advanced stages of cancer.
Among the methods used at the University Hospital of Freiburg, it is worth noting such progressive methods as liver resection of the In-situ-Splitting type, SIRT-therapy, radiosurgery using the Cyber Knife system.
Comprehensive programs, depending on the stage and morphological structure of the cancer, include treatment regimens using biological preparations, radio-frequency ablation of the tumor.
If the patient is receiving chemotherapy, doctors prescribe local procedures when the drug is injected through a catheter into the tumor site. Additionally, blood supply to the organ is suppressed by embolization (blockage) of the arteries in order to stop the supply of blood to a malignant tumor. Successfully used the method LITT (laser thermotherapy), RFTA (radio frequency thermoablation).
Also in the department of the oncological center, a rehabilitation period is provided for under the supervision of a personal attending physician and allied professionals involved in complex treatment.
In cases where it is impossible to apply any of the listed methods of treatment (therapeutic and surgical), a palliative therapeutic program is developed, aimed at relieving pain and eliminating negative symptoms.
