Dear patients, dear colleagues, dear visitors,
I would like to welcome you to the website of the Department of Internal Medicine VIII (Division of Medical Oncology and Pneumology) of the Medical Clinic of the University Hospital of Tübingen.
The focus of our work in the field of medical oncology is the treatment of patients with solid tumor diseases, which also includes novel approaches to personalized oncology/precision oncology of patients with advanced tumor diseases. For this purpose, our outpatient therapy area and a specially equipped Phase I ward / Early Clinical Trial Unit (ECTU) are available, in which we can offer our patients not only all standard therapies but also novel, as yet unapproved therapeutic modalities. We have further special oncological focuses in the area of sarcomas (the Tübingen Center for Soft Tissue Sarcomas, GIST and Bone Tumors (ZWS) is one of the largest of its kind in Germany) as well as theof its kind in Germany) and neuroendocrine tumors (the NET Center Tübingen was certified as a Center of Excellence (CoE) by the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) in 2021).
In addition to diagnostics and personalized therapy of all lung tumors, our focus in the field of pneumology includes comprehensive pneumological differential diagnostics as well as weaning and adjustment to non-invasive home ventilation (NIV).
In addition to patient care at the highest level, our department is characterized by intensive and internationally recognized research activity, which includes both the field of cancer research and pneumology.
For our medical colleagues, we are a reliable and always easily accessible partner in the joint treatment of our patients.
We hope that the references and information on the following pages will give you an overview of the various areas of the clinic, the extensive range of patient care services, our main areas of research and current events.
With best regards
Your
Univ.Prof. Dr. Lars Zender
