Profile
The doctors at the lung tumour ambulance advise patients and their relatives individually.
They first arrange the necessary diagnostic examinations in cooperation with specialists from other disciplines at the Charité.
Then they prepare - supported by the weekly lung tumour conference - an individual therapy plan, which should enable the best possible therapy on the basis of the latest scientific standards.
If possible, both the diagnostic examinations and the therapy are carried out on an outpatient basis as far as possible in order to keep the stay in hospital as short as possible.
It goes without saying that the doctors at the pulmonary tumour outpatient clinic will be happy to be prudent contact persons for patients and their relatives in all phases of the disease.
