Medical Practice in Solingen: Specialization in Gynecology Preceding Cancer Centre Accreditation
City Hospital Solingen's Gynecological Cancer Center Achieves Significant Milestone
The Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at City Hospital Solingen has reached a significant milestone, moving closer to becoming a Gynecological Cancer Center according to the criteria of the German Cancer Society (DKG). This certification signifies the center's commitment to offering advanced, certified cancer care, including gynecological cancers, and using innovative treatments such as targeted therapy and dendritic cell immunotherapy.
Advanced Diagnostics and Personalized Treatment Plans
At the heart of the center's approach is a focus on providing advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment plans. This includes the use of targeted therapy, which employs specific drugs to block cancer cell growth with fewer side effects than chemotherapy. For gynecological cancers such as cervical cancer, immunotherapy options like dendritic cell therapy are also offered, shown to improve survival and quality of life in advanced and metastatic cases.
Quality Certification and Research Partnerships
The center participates in comprehensive quality certification and accreditation protocols typical for German cancer centers, ensuring high standards in oncology care. It is among top centers recognized for oncology and integrates research partnerships, such as with Hamburg University’s Research Center, to develop new targeted therapies.
Interdisciplinary Care and Upcoming Forums
The center delivers interdisciplinary care combining surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapies tailored to patient needs. While specifics about an upcoming Gynecological Forum in Solingen were not found, such events are common for certified cancer centers in Germany. These forums gather specialists to discuss new protocols and patient support strategies.
A Focus on Women's Health
Beyond its oncological expertise, the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics covers all aspects of women's health, including modern gynecological examination methods. The clinic also treats breast diseases, with the breast clinic being part of the certified Bergisches Breast Center Solingen. The clinic's Obstetrics department offers comprehensive prenatal examinations, counseling, and childbirth preparation.
A Baby-Friendly Hospital and Personalized Care
As a baby-friendly hospital, the clinic offers lactation counseling on the postpartum station by specialized lactation consultants. The clinic's Chief Physician, Dr. Iborra, emphasizes a personal and trusting atmosphere where patients feel comfortable and well-cared for.
Information Event and Exchange
The clinic will hold a gynecological forum on October 30, 2023, for gynecologists and obstetricians from Solingen and the surrounding area. Further information about the gynecological forum will be available shortly. The information event will include lectures, tours, and exchange in a comfortable atmosphere, scheduled for Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
