Treatment plans are tailored to each patient and may include immunotherapy or targeted therapy alongside traditional drugs.
Oncology Leadership and Expertise
Dr. Viola Fox leads the Hematology and Oncology department with over 20 years of experience. Dr. Fox specializes in drug therapy for tumor diseases, including molecular diagnostics and palliative care. Dr. Fox is an active member of the German Society of Oncology and Hematology and the American Association for Cancer Research. Under the guidance of Dr. Fox, the medical team manages complex lung cancer cases using the latest protocols from the University of Cologne.
Treatment Methods and Settings
The hospital offers several ways to deliver chemotherapy depending on the stage of the disease. These methods include:
- Mono-chemotherapy using a single drug.
- Combined chemotherapy using multiple drugs to attack cancer cells.
- Radiochemotherapy which combines drugs with radiation for better results.
- Preoperative blocks to shrink tumors before surgery.
- Postoperative therapy to remove remaining cancer cells after an operation.
Treatment typically begins in the inpatient ward to monitor the patient’s initial reaction. Afterward, care continues in the outpatient oncology department. To make the process easier, doctors use implantable venous ports for drug delivery. A single session can last about 5 hours.
Integrated Support and Coordination
Patient care is managed through weekly oncological consiliums. These are meetings where doctors from different specialties review each case together. This ensures that surgery, radiation, and drug therapy work together effectively. The clinic also provides supportive care to help with side effects.

During long treatment sessions, the staff provides snacks and drinks to help patients feel more comfortable.
