The Heidelberg University Skin Clinic received the official seal of approval as a certified skin tumor center in 2009, making it the first skin clinic in Germany to be awarded this quality certificate. The Heidelberg Skin Cancer Center has been a recognized center for dermatological oncology for many years.
Due to its outstanding expertise, not only national patients from all over Germany, but also international patients with malignant skin and mucous membrane tumors as well as cancer patients with skin side effects turn to the skin tumor center. In addition, there are specialized consultation hours for immunocompromised patients.
Skin Tumor Center
Every year, more than 2000 patients receive guideline-based care, from prevention to the treatment of primary tumors and advanced stages of the disease, to tumor aftercare. In addition, the close connection to the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Heidelberg and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) ensures access to diagnostic and therapy options based on the latest scientific findings. In the context of studies, patients at the skin tumor center are thus given access to an innovative therapy even before it is approved.
