Why your donation matters

At the NCT Heidelberg, more than 500 scientists, medical practitioners, and scientific, clinical, and administrative staff work continuously to advance cancer research and offer to our patients the best treatment possible. In doing so, we count on the latest methods and technologies. Here you can get an insight into some of the current approaches.

"By means of molecular profiling technologies, we try to find new therapeutic approaches for young patients with advanced cancer as well as patients with particularly rare tumors, as standard treatments no longer work in these cases."

Prof. Dr. Stefan Fröhling, Managing Director NCT Heidelberg and Head of the Division Translational Medical Oncology at the German Cancer Research Center

"We want to conduct trial runs of new clinical procedures which utilise the patient’s own immune system as a weapon against the tumor."

Prof. Dr. Dirk Jäger, Managing Director NCT Heidelberg and Medical Director of the Department of Medical Oncology at the Heidelberg University Hospital

"At the NCT Heidelberg, we attach great value to interdisciplinary work – both locally and across Germany. With your donation to the NCT Heidelberg, you especially support such interdisciplinary projects, which allow us to continuously think about cancer research and treatment in new, innovative ways."

Prof. Dr. Peter Lichter, Managing Director NCT Heidelberg and Head of the Division Molecular Genetics at the German Cancer Research Center
