Focus areas
Radiotherapy of malignant tumors and benign disorders. One focus is on the multimodal interdisciplinary treatment of lung cancer, on the treatment of breast cancer patients in cooperation with the breast center, on the treatment of prostate cancer, of sarcomas, malignant lymphomas and pediatric tumors. Stereotactic radiotherapy for the targeted treatment of brain tumors is available. The latest technical equipment such as a tomotherapy unit for image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy is used in radiation treatments. Gated radiotherapy of lung tumors is done with other linear accelerators (linacs).
There are also an afterloading unit and telecobalt machines for total body radiation prior to bone marrow transplants. The Clinic for Radiotherapy is part of the Gastrointestinal Center and the Uni Breast Center.
