Have you been diagnosed with a tumour in the genital area or are you suspected of having one? As experts in this field, we would like to help you. You are not alone. Make an appointment for an initial consultation with us.

The individual consultation includes, among other things

• What kind of illness do I have?
• What are the next steps?
• Is an operation necessary and if so, how will it be carried out?
  We will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan.
• Can I still have children? (Counselling for women who wish to have children)
• Offer of accompanying psycho-oncological counselling

During the initial consultation, we take plenty of time to explain the disease and answer all your questions. To get a comprehensive picture, we need all the findings that have already been obtained externally (please bring these with you to the appointment). In addition to a detailed discussion, we will carry out a gynaecological examination including ultrasound. In certain situations, further examinations may be necessary (e.g. computer tomography). You are welcome to bring your partner or a relative with you to this initial consultation for support.

Once all the necessary examinations have been carried out, we will discuss the "case" together with other specialist colleagues in our interdisciplinary tumour conference and recommend the best treatment for you based on the latest research. We will also check whether participation in a trial is an option for you. This allows you to participate directly in progress and benefit from an innovative and new therapy.

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.

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.
