The treatment of benign but especially malignant tumors in the area of ​​the central and peripheral nervous system is the focus of the Neuroncological Center. Surgical therapy is usually in the foreground when treating malignant tumors. The most modern methods of operative tumor surgery such as neuronavigation and intraoperative neuromonitoring are used. The therapy is individually adapted to the patient. The aim is the best possible tumor removal with maximum patient safety.

Even after the surgical treatment, further treatment takes place in the neuro-oncological center. Individual treatment concepts with regard to subsequent radiation and / or chemotherapy are drawn up for each patient. Even after therapy has been completed, regular follow-up care takes place in our tumor consultation hours.
