Cancer, tumors

Significant progress has been made in recent years in the treat­ment of cancer. Recent re­search results and the growing diversity of treat­ment options make it possible today to success­fully treat malig­nant tumors in an in­creasing number of cases, resulting in a lasting improve­ment to the patients’ quality of life. Döbling Private Hospital com­bines all relevant services under one roof – partly in colla­boration with external specia­lists – to offer rapid dia­gnosis, surgical inter­ventions and systemic onco­logical treat­ments of the highest caliber.

The treatment of cancer always rests on three main pillars: comprehen­sive screening checks at Döbling Outpatient Center, the outstanding exper­tise of our atten­ding physi­cians in many areas of oncology and a sensitive care philo­sophy that clearly places the patients and their difficult life situa­tion in the focus.

For example, the Breast Health Center at Döbling Outpatient Center pro­vides all services relating to the topic of breast health. The treat­ment of breast carci­noma – by far the most common form of cancer in women – also strongly attests the high quality stan­dards of Döbling Private Hospital. Our capabili­ties include state-of-the-art dia­gnostics with the aid of tomo­synthesis (“3D mammo­graphy”), our Tumor Board for multidisci­plinary treat­ment planning, opera­tions by highly regarded breast surgeons and syste­mic onco­logical treat­ments.

In other fields of cancer medicine, the hospital also enjoys an excellent inter­national reputa­tion and can rely on excep­tional expertise, such as in the treat­ment of kidney tumors with a focus on kidney preserva­tion. Innova­tive proce­dures, such as frozen section ana­lysis, make it possible to clarify un­certain findings even during an opera­tion and verify the absence of tumor at the edge of the exci­sion.
