Klinik für Allgemein- und Viszeralchirurgie

Im Fokus der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit der Arbeitsgruppe Ösophaguskarzinom an der Klinik für Allgemein- und Viszeralchirurgie steht insbesondere das in den letzten Jahrzenten sprunghaft in seiner Inzidenz zunehmende Adenokarzinom des Ösophagus und des gastroösophagealen Übergangs.  

Die chirurgische Behandlung stellt hier die zentrale Therapiemodalität dar. Durch die Anwendung multimodaler Therapieprotokolle konnte in den letzten Jahren eine deutliche Prognoseverbesserung für Patienten mit einem Adenokarzinom des Ösophagus und des gastroösophagealen Übergangs erzielt werden. In unserer Klinik werden die verschiedenen multimodalen Therapieprotokolle nicht nur angewandt, sondern auch wissenschaftlich evaluiert. Neben den rein klinisch wissenschaftlichen Projekten besteht eine Kooperation zur experimentellen Arbeitsgruppe Ösophaguskarzinom am Institut für Pathologie des Universitätsklinikums Freiburg
