Oncology and haematology

At the oncology department, you can come for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Cancer is a collective term for many different conditions in which cells grow too quickly and cause damage to surrounding tissue. The haematologists treat patients with diseases of the blood, bone marrow and lymph nodes. These can be both benign and malignant conditions.
