Newsletter "Berlin Medical News"

In recent years, there have been ground-breaking innovations in cancer research and treatment. New approaches are also being used at the Berlin clinics. Despite the probable increase in cancer cases in the future, this gives us hope. In our current newsletter, you can read about examples from Charité and Helios and about the medical focuses of specialists Prof. Dr. Jalid Sehouli (ovarian cancer), PD Dr. Peter Reichardt (sarcomas) and Prof. Dr. Bertram Glaß (hematology & stem cell therapy).

In terms of medical innovation, Berlin has always been in the forefront.

Also learn about the medical focus of Prof. Dr. Max Heiland (Medical Director of the Clinic for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Charité) and a smart app that helps Prof. Dr. Carsten Perka, Medical Director of the Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery.

What is important in these times, still heavily affected by the Corona virus, is to globally close ranks and better prepare for any future pandemic events. That is why in September the World Health Organization (WHO) in Berlin inaugurated the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence. Another new foundation stone was laid for Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité' (DHZC). In future, expertise in the treatment of heart disease will be pooled on the Virchow Campus.
