About us
Innovative diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for urological cancer treatment are a particular scientific focus of the Department of Urology.
A procedure for fluorescent labelling and intraoperative detection of sentinel lymph nodes using indocyanine green (ICG) was recently established in our clinic for prostate cancer. In connection with this, further studies are planned for various tumour diseases.
We were also able to demonstrate the functionality of the new, largely automated OSNA procedure (OSNA = One Step Nucleic Acid Amplification) for the detection of lymph node metastases in patients with prostate carcinoma. This procedure is now also being investigated in a follow-up study for bladder and penile cancer.
We are also participating in various multicentre studies.
Description of the FWJ place
Within these projects, volunteers are responsible for study assistance tasks, which include measuring fluorescence values and the care and documentation of lymph nodes in the operating theatre. Depending on the project/study status, other activities include the analysis of lymph nodes using OSNA and administrative/organisational tasks in the above-mentioned study areas.
