The experts of Bookimed, a service for the selection of medical solutions around the world, have ranked the best oncological clinics in Germany.
The rating is based on the following indicators:
- success of treatment
- technical equipment of clinics
- the price of diagnostics and treatment
- availability of accreditations and quality certificates
- development of new methods of therapy.
The list of the best clinics for the treatment of oncology:
- University Hospital Freiburg
- Asklepios Clinic Barmbek
- Helios Berlin-Buch
Treatment at the University Hospital Freiburg
The University Hospital Freiburg unites 5 institutes, 5 specialized centers and 14 departments. The medical institution performs procedures that are not available in other clinics. Among them - thermoablation of liver metastases, i.e. destruction of metastases. This technique can be an alternative to surgery. Oncologists use the method as an adjunct to chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
The department has the highest rates of cancer treatment in Germany:
| Disease | Treatment success |
| Stage 1 and 2 breast cancer | 95% |
| Brain tumors | 83% |
| Bowel cancer | 81% |
| Lungs' cancer | 85% |
Every year, the department's doctors perform 25,000 chemotherapy treatments and 200 bone marrow transplants.
The clinic applies a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of patients: the medical history and test results are studied by a group of doctors of different specializations. This approach minimizes the likelihood of errors and allows you to choose the most accurate treatment plan.

Asklepios Clinic Barmbek
Asklepios Barmbek is a multidisciplinary specialized clinic. Every year 35,000 patients are treated in the inpatient clinic.
The hospital's oncologists specialize in the treatment of leukemia, cancer of the pancreas, lungs, uterus, testicles, liver and prostate tumors.
In diagnostics, three-dimensional visualization is used, therefore, the sampling of material for analysis is carried out with maximum accuracy. This is important for correct diagnosis and treatment efficacy.
The clinic specializes in the interventional treatment of tumors. Doctors inject medication through catheters into your blood vessels. Thus, the drug acts on a malignant tumor and minimally affects healthy cells.

Helios Clinic Berlin-Buch
The private clinic Helios Berlin-Buch is certified by the German Cancer Society.
Doctors at Helios treat leukemia, abdominal oncology, tumors of the endocrine glands, brain and spinal cord, and bone tissue.
Abdominal surgeries are performed using laparoscopy, "keyhole surgery". The surgery is performed without a large incision. Instead, several punctures are made on the patient's body. The doctor sees the organs on a monitor with magnification. Thanks to this, the doctor completely removes damaged tissues and maintains healthy ones. Recovery after surgery takes a couple of days.
Specialists use intraoperative radiation therapy (IOERT): the tumor is irradiated during surgery. The technique reduces the duration of radiation therapy or replaces it. The procedure does not affect healthy organs and tissues.
Also, aerosol chemotherapy is used in the treatment of abdominal oncology. The drug is sprayed under pressure and penetrates the damaged areas. Treatment is carried out using a lower dose of chemotherapy.
Another innovative technique in the fight against cancer is "hot chemotherapy" (HIPEC). The abdomen is flushed with a warm solution of the chemotherapy drug. It is a complex but effective treatment.
The clinic's scientists are working on new methods of treating Ewing's sarcoma, multiple myeloma, and acute leukemia.

You can see a complete list of the best oncology clinics in Germany.
Let's summarize:

- a treatment plan for the patient is developed by a team of doctors of various specialties. So you can choose the most effective therapy for the fight against cancer.
