Diagnosis and therapy of tumours
Claraspital is known for its emphasis on the diagnosis and therapy of tumours in the gastrointestinal tract:
- Tumours of the gastrointestinal tract
- Oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
- Liver, gall bladder, pancreas
- GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumours)
Patients with all other types of malignant tumour can of course be treated in Claraspital as well:
- Lung cancer
- Breast cancer
- Cancer of the ovaries and womb
- Prostate cancer
- Testicular cancer
- Bladder and kidney cancer
- Malignant disorders of the lymphatic system
- Lymphomas (Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma)
- Multiple myeloma (plasmocytoma)
- Brain tumours
- Cancer of the soft tissues (sarcoma)
- Skin cancer (melanoma)
- Neuroendocrine tumours
- and others
In the rare cases in which we are not able to offer the optimal therapy, we approach the most suitable centre with a view to collaboration. We cooperate closely with the University Hospital in Basel, for example, where patients who require stem cell transplantation can be treated.
