Even the suspicion of breast cancer, especially the diagnosis, understandably raises many questions that need to be answered. We are here to support you with all our knowledge. Our experts will provide you with comprehensive advice during consultation hours.
You have been referred to our breast centre by your gynaecologist or GP for treatment or a second opinion. Please make an appointment with us so that we can help you as quickly and competently as possible. Our case management team will take care of your appointments and will be happy to advise you on planning or the course of your outpatient and inpatient stay at the Women's Clinic.

We endeavour to avoid long waiting times. Unfortunately, delays may occur in exceptional cases, as the duration of a more detailed consultation cannot be predicted exactly and there are situations in which a patient requires more support, e.g. due to the initial diagnosis of a malignant disease.

Further information
Our daily breast consultation is the first port of call for women and men with suspected benign or malignant changes in the breast. You can also come to us for a consultation and further treatment planning if you already have breast disease. If you would like a second opinion, our experts will also be happy to help you.
We can quickly clarify any changes in the breast or abnormal findings. As part of the initial consultation, we will carry out a palpation and ultrasound examination of the breast in addition to a detailed discussion. In all cases, we document the breast using photography. In the case of abnormal findings, a sample (biopsy) can be taken immediately after clarification. Further biopsies, e.g. under mammography or MRI control, can be organised for you by our radiology colleagues if required.
For findings with a completed or planned biopsy, second opinions or patients with malignant diseases, a presentation is then made in our interdisciplinary tumour conference. At the Breast Centre, we then discuss the treatment recommendation from the tumour conference with you in detail and plan all further steps together.
Routine ultrasound checks, e.g. as part of follow-up care or preventive care, do not take place during our consultation hours. Please make an appointment with your gynaecologist for this.

Have you been indicated for breast removal or do you have a family history of breast and ovarian cancer? In the consultation for reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery, we will provide you with comprehensive information about the options for further surgical treatment.

If the operation has previously been rejected by the health insurance company, please also bring the rejection with you. We will be happy to help you apply for the desired operation.

Further information
Depending on the therapy concept, you will receive chemotherapies, antibody therapies, anti-hormone therapies, immunotherapeutics and also drugs that intervene in bone metabolism at our IOT. Together with the team at the study centre, we also offer you the opportunity to receive new innovative therapies as part of clinical studies. You will be looked after by our experienced team in the chemotherapy outpatient clinic. The doctors and nurses looking after you are specially trained in tumour therapy and will accompany you through this difficult time.
Our aim is to master the therapy together with you. It is important to us to avoid or at least alleviate side effects in order to make the therapy as pleasant as possible for you. We can also offer you psycho-oncological care or support from the social counselling service on site at the IOT if required. The IOT also offers the option of nutritional counselling by a specially trained nutritionist. Cosmetic seminars and yoga courses are further offers of our oncological day clinic.
Of course, we are also available around the clock in the time between therapies if you have any questions or problems. Even when the IOT is closed, you can contact the gynaecological clinic's emergency outpatient department at night or at weekends. You will receive help there quickly.
We are aware of the anxiety and stress that a tumour and its treatment can cause you and your family. That is why, in addition to high-quality treatment, it is important to us to provide you with a safe, protective environment and, above all, that you feel that you are in good hands with us.

- Initial diagnosis of metastasis or progression of an underlying oncological disease for treatment planning
- Discussion of the results of imaging procedures such as CT or MRI
- Discussion of decisions made at interdisciplinary tumour conferences and planning of treatment
- Check-ups during ongoing therapy
- Follow-up care in special situations or as part of studies
- Participation in oncological studies

Patients with breast cancer can present at the consultation forcomplex / drug-based tumour therapy. This may involve questions that arise when breast cancer treatment is first diagnosed, or that arise during the course of chemotherapy, antibody therapy or anti-hormone therapy regarding the indication, effectiveness or tolerability of a therapy, but also questions or problems that arise in the case of advanced complex breast cancer or distant metastases. Patients can also come to this consultation for follow-up checks during oncological therapies.
In addition, we advise patients with gynaecological tumoursin the event of a recurrence or if the tumour has already spread to other regions. If you require surgical treatment, we will arrange for you to be seen in the gynaecological oncology surgery consultation.
You are welcome to come in for a second opinion or if you would like to find out about the possibilities of treatment as part of a clinical trial. Consultations are possible regardless of your insurance status (private or statutory insurance).

Further information
In our private consultation, gynaecological diseases are treated by the Director of the Women's Clinic, Prof. Dr Wolfgang Janni, or his deputies. The consultation focuses in particular on surgical and medical treatment of benign and malignant gynaecological diseases. It is important to us to advise you individually, competently and in a pleasant atmosphere. You are also welcome to come to the private consultation for a second opinion.
Prof. Dr Wolfgang Janni is a nationally and internationally recognised expert in the field of gynaecology, with a particular focus on senology (diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases) and gynaecological oncology. As a board member of the Association of Gynaecological Oncology (AGO), spokesman for the Breast Organ Commission and head of international study groups, he has a high level of expertise, particularly with regard to new, innovative treatment strategies.
When you visit the private consultation, you can expect a detailed discussion about the reason for your visit, your medical history and a clinical examination, usually including an ultrasound scan. Depending on the underlying disease, further modern examination methods will complete the diagnostic measures if necessary.
In the case of malignant diseases, your case will be presented at one of our interdisciplinary tumour conferences and discussed by experts from various specialist disciplines in order to determine the best treatment for you based on the latest research. We take plenty of time to discuss the treatment recommendation and the next steps with you in detail at a follow-up appointment.
