Our breast cancer unit focuses on providing the best treatment for breast cancer patients with regard to their physical, psychosocial and psycho-oncological demands. With respect to diagnosis we offer the whole variety of technical equipment including MRI-guided core biopsies. In recent years we got advancing experience in intraoperative irradiation therapy, that has become a routine procedure. Further more the associated institute of pathology has established a tumor bank for research reasons and to give answers to special questions according to treatment. We focus on molecular biology research, i. e. finding discriminative tumormarkers and having more insight in methylating processes. Secondly we offer patients evaluation with partial breast irradiation (IORT with Novac 7) with regard to surgical features as well as to follow-up criteria. The third emphasis is on psycho-oncological research: stress profiles are derived with non-invasive measuring methods in order to distinguish between patients beeing able to relax or not (coherence). There is regular participation in clinical trials (for example chemotherapy / hormonal treatment).
