The possibilities of treating malignant tumors of the bile ducts and liver have been steadily improving in recent years. Specialists at the Liver Cancer Center of Frankfurt University Hospital provide special consultations for all patients with malignant tumor diseases that have developed in the liver (liver cancer and cancer of the biliary tract), as well as for patients with tumor diseases of the digestive tract. In order to provide each patient with the best individual treatment, there is a close collaboration between the clinics and institutes of the University Cancer Center.
Prostate cancer (prostate cancer) is the most common tumor in men. With timely diagnostics and therapy, the chances of recovery and a normal quality of life for the patient are guaranteed to be high. A dedicated multidisciplinary team of urologists, radiologists and pathologists perform all the necessary diagnostic procedures using the most up-to-date methods for the early detection of prostate cancer.
When diagnosed with prostate cancer, the treatment plan is drawn up depending on various factors. The choice of the optimal method of therapy for the patient is selected in a detailed discussion with the patient, taking into account the individual wishes of the patient and the degree of risk.
Surgical removal of prostate cancer is currently the most commonly used and well-established method. The methods available at Frankfurt University Hospital include open surgery or minimally invasive prostate removal with the DaVinici robot. In the latter case, the prostate is removed using a surgical robot through minimal incisions.

Gastroenterology and Hepatology
Frankfurt University Hospital diagnoses and treats all pathologies of the esophagus, biliary tract, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and liver.

In addition, Frankfurt University Hospital is equipped with the latest equipment for endoscopy and sonography. Frankfurt University Hospital also has a modern laboratory for diagnostics and treatment of all gastroenterological and hepatological pathologies.
Usually gastroenterological and hepatological diseases are manifested by typical symptoms. However, there are also “silent” diseases, the identification of which requires careful diagnostics.
Difficulty swallowing, stomach pain, and symptoms such as diarrhea and constipation, as well as vomiting blood or blood in the stool, indicate problems in the digestive tract. Colic is characteristic of gallstone disease. Inflammation of the pancreas is accompanied by severe pain in the upper abdomen. Jaundice is often observed with problems of the liver and biliary tract. But many pathologies, such as chronic inflammation of the liver or tumors in the gastrointestinal tract and liver, often remain asymptomatic for a long time. In this case, preventive examinations such as a colonoscopy or, for example, a complete colonoscopy (double-balloon endoscopy) or an ultrasound examination of the liver as a whole and in the presence of relevant risk factors are necessary.

The patient can be treated on an outpatient basis, in an infectious diseases department or an isolation ward.
Outpatient services are divided into General Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine, HIV Center and Interdisciplinary Vaccination Consultation.
The Infectious Diseases Department at University Hospital Frankfurt sees patients with unclear or complicated infections, such as travelers returning with fever symptoms or cancer patients with severe co-infections. The isolator is intended for the treatment of life-threatening, infectious diseases. An interdisciplinary approach is taken when it comes to patients with comorbidities.
HIV. Clinical research in the field of HIV therapy provides an important impetus for the further development of antiretroviral therapy, as well as for the search for new approaches and methods to defeat HIV. The main area of research within the HIV CENTER has a clinical focus and concerns the optimization of ART care, infection prevention, accounting for and optimal treatment of comorbidities, the development of new diagnostic methods and the creation of completely new therapeutic procedures.
Patients at risk are offered prevention strategies adapted to the target groups in order to prevent new infections and at the same time to study long-term efficacy.
HIVCENTER is the only center in Germany that has created its own direction for the treatment and research of women with HIV.
In addition, patients at Frankfurt University Hospital can participate in research on completely new therapeutic approaches. They aim to eradicate HIV completely, for example, by targeted eradication of the virus, including viral DNA integrated into the cell nucleus, or by targeting the patient's immune system so that lifelong treatment, as currently needed, becomes redundant.

Epilepsy
Epilepsy is the most common serious brain pathology, affecting about 0.5-1% of the population. More than 70% of patients with epilepsy can be completely free of seizures with optimal medical therapy. Frankfurt University Hospital offers comprehensive medical and social care and detailed consultations for patients from all over the world.
For an integrated approach for all patients, the epilepsy center has established close cooperation between the clinics of neurology, neurosurgery, pediatrics, including neuropediatrics and obstetrics, the institute of neuroradiology, neurooncology and many other diagnostic and treatment institutions. Patients can be treated on an outpatient or inpatient basis, receiving a wide range of services from diagnostics and consultation to therapy.

Patients can be treated on an outpatient or inpatient basis, receiving a wide range of services from diagnostics and consultation to therapy.
The Epilepsy Center of Frankfurt University Hospital offers care to patients with:
- unclear convulsive disorders;
- the first epileptic seizure but still unclear cause and unclear epileptic syndrome;
- severe chronic epilepsy, i.e. when it is not possible to get rid of seizures, despite antiepileptic drugs.
- Detailed description and classification of seizures using EEG video recording;
- Finding out the cause of epilepsy to assess the prognosis and optimize therapy. It is very important to determine, for example, whether a brain tumor or previous trauma is present in order to be able to better classify epilepsy;
- Optimization of drug therapy. The history of medication is very important in order to individually adjust therapy in the future;
- Electroencephalography. It facilitates the analization of brain work for possible changes typical of epilepsy. This is important in order to select the optimal drug therapy;
- Magnetic resonance imaging. Each patient with a detailed diagnostics of epilepsy undergoes magnetic resonance imaging which determines the possible causes of epilepsy. These can be tumors, vascular malformations, cerebral scars, and others;
- Magnetoencephalography. This examination may be useful for patients who have already undergone surgery or whose EEG leads have not shown any abnormalities;
- Functional nuclear spin tomography. The procedure is used to localize brain functions that must be preserved during surgery;
- Neuropsychological examination. It helps to identify the side effects of the drug, as well as other brain dysfunctions caused by epilepsy, and integrate them into the concept of managing the disease.
- Functional dopplerography;
- Invasive diagnostics using stereo EEG and subdural electrodes. This procedure is prescribed in cases where superficial long-term video EEG and MEG does not provide sufficient diagnostic reliability.
