Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf
UKE Hamburg is a German university cancer centre with strengths in prostate cancer surgery (Martini-Klinik) and haematology.
Overview
Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf is a German university cancer centre ranked twenty-fourth in the Newsweek/Statista World's Best Specialized Hospitals list for oncology. Its Martini-Klinik is the world's highest-volume prostatectomy centre, and the Hubertus Wald Tumour Centre brings together its haematology and medical oncology, with Markus Graefen, Carsten Bokemeyer and Klaus Pantel among the people OnCo lists here. OnCo links it to prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumours and to Deutsche Krebshilfe. Whether very high surgical volume alone explains its prostate outcomes, or whether its outcome-tracking model is the transferable lesson, is the question other centres ask. Its prostate surgery and haematology programmes are listed below.
