Quality in the Gynaecological Tumour Centre

Care at the highest level

We have been treating patients with gynaecological tumours at a high university level for many years. The certificate from the German Cancer Society confirms that we meet all the quality criteria of a gynaecological tumour centre. In order to provide our patients with the best possible care, we also have our internal quality management system regularly assessed and evaluated by ClarCert.

At our centre, you will be cared for by specialist doctors with a high level of expertise and special qualifications in the field of gynaecological oncology. Due to the large number of women who entrust themselves to us, we are very experienced - even with rare gynaecological tumour diseases. As a patient, you benefit from the high standards and the enormous medical quality of our centre. Thanks to our national and international activities, we can offer you the opportunity to participate in new developments in the treatment of gynaecological tumour diseases at an early stage.

The University Women's Hospital is also one of the few centres of the German Consortium for Familial Breast and Ovarian Cancer - a specialist clinic for the care of patients with a genetic cancer risk. Detailed information on this can be found on the website of the Centre for Familial Breast and Ovarian Cancer.

Interdisciplinary tumour conference

The Gynaecological Tumour Centre is one of the certified organ centres of the Tumour Centre Alb-Allgäu-Bodensee (Comprehensive Cancer Centre Ulm, CCCU). In the case of malignant tumours, our patients benefit from the extensive experience and comprehensive work of the Tumour Centre - one of 14 "Oncological Centres of Excellence" nationwide that are certified by German Cancer Aid for their excellent performance in tumour treatment and tumour research.

The CCCU's weekly interdisciplinary tumour conferences for gynaecological tumour diseases take place on Tuesdays in the Women's Clinic. In addition to gynaecological oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and internal oncologists are always present at the conference. If necessary, other specialised specialists are invited. Without exception, every patient with a gynaecological tumour is presented there for the development of an individual treatment recommendation based on the latest research.

Certifications

Certified Gynaecological Tumour Centre
Of particular importance for the quality of medical care is the regular external inspection and certification of our Gynaecological Tumour Centre by the German Cancer Society. Due to our high quality and extensive experience, we were one of the first gynaecological tumour centres in Germany to be certified in 2008.

Certified quality management system
The centre's quality management system is audited by ClarCert and meets the requirements of the international standard DIN EN ISO 9001:2015.
