Oncology

The Oncology department of the Max Grundig Klinik is primarily dedicated to the treatment of tumours (cancer). In Germany alone, around 500,000 new cancer cases are diagnosed every year. Thanks to early detection and medical advances, many types of cancer are now curable. The Max Grundig Klinik relies on proven chemotherapy, immunotherapy and hormone therapy as well as other state-of-the-art treatment methods for the treatment of cancer. In addition, unconventional, supportive and alternative treatment methods are also employed.
