The Department of Mammology at Solingen Hospital and the Medical University of Cologne brings together the best medical professionals, state-of-the-art medical equipment and extensive practical experience in the treatment of breast cancer. One of the main directions of the centre is the treatment of advanced cancer cases and subsequent rehabilitation of patients. The centre has won numerous awards and is often written about in the German press, because thanks to its work thousands of women have got rid of a serious disease and continue to live normal lives.
As is clear from the name, the speciality of the centre is the diagnosis and treatment of breast tumours (breast cancer), of any type and at any stage. Also in the centre you can promptly get a second opinion on the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, as it has a huge experience and base in its treatment.
Diagnostics
Often, women themselves notice changes in their breasts. In case of any slight change in the breast, you should consult your doctor. Not every sensible to touch formation is malignant. These are often simply nodules of connective tissue or cyst.
If an additional examination is required for a final report, your doctor must make a decision.
In the first place is the diagnosis. To do this in our center, there are various technologies of visual diagnostics at your service:
- Ultrasound examination of the breast of increased resolution
- Digital mammography
- High-quality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
If setting a clear diagnosis is not possible due to ultrasound examination, a high-speed biopsy can be made. At the same time, using local anesthesia, small samples are taken in the zones of deformed breast tissue. Histological analysis of the taken samples is carried out at the Institute of Pathology of our Clinic, so the diagnosis will be ready within 24 hours.
More than 5,000 patients with complex cases are treated and rehabilitated at the Breast Cancer Centre of the University Hospital Solingen every year.
The successful treatment of many serious diseases at the University Hospital Solingen is largely thanks to the head of the centre, Dr Manuela Seifert, MD, and the team of specialists she has assembled.
