Clinics for Pancreatic Cancer

Which clinics in Germany are most suitable for the treatment of pancreatic cancer? 54 hospitals which guarantee high quality of treatment are listed here.

Pancreatic cancer (also called pancreatic carcinoma) often remains undetected because it doesn’t show any symptoms at first. Therefore, the chances of recovery are often low in the case of a late diagnosis.
Possible symptoms in an advanced stage are pain in the upper abdomen or digestive disorders. Some of the risk factors are smoking, alcohol consumption and obesity.

According to the guideline, depending on the growth of the tumor, pancreatic cancer can be treated with surgery, chemo- or radiation therapy or pain therapy.
The clinics listed below offer excellent treatment for pancreatic cancer. There are doctors with the necessary expertise and state-of-the-art equipment in all of the hospitals.

This is how the clinic list was created

• Many patients! At the clinics presented above, doctors have great experience with pancreatic cancer (ICD C25), because only hospitals that treat pancreatic cancer on an above-average basis have been taken into consideration. Hospitals are obliged to inform about their medical treatment in quality reports and to provide this information to the Federal Joint Committee.
• High Level of Patient Safety! All of the clinics attach above-average value to patient safety. At least 45 out of 55 measures have been taken in order to guarantee optimal hygiene before, during and after surgery.
• High Level of Patient Satisfaction! The level of patient satisfaction of the clinics in the list is at least 80 per cent. This is the result of a survey carried out by the German health insurance companies AOK, the BARMER Ersatzkasse and the Kaufmännische Krankenkasse (KKH) in cooperation with the “Weisse Liste”. Every year, almost half a million of insured people are being questioned about their hospital stay.
• Certifications! When a clinic receives a certificate, it means that the doctors specialized in the treatment of pancreatic cancer and that the necessary equipment for treatment is available. All of the clinics in the list have been certified as Centers for Pancreatic Carcinoma by the German Cancer Society.

This is just a small selection of German clinics. Of course, many other hospitals also offer a high quality of treatment.
