Cooperations

Within the framework of the EU-project PanCareLIFE, the methodical consultation, as well as the documentation and statistical analysis of the data are carried out by Dip.-Soz. Ralph Schilling. The intervention study, which focused on patient education was significantly motivated and shaped by Dr. med. Lutz Goldbeck, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Ulm (deceased on October 30, 2017).

Our project cryoconservation of ovarian tissue and IVM of oocytes from ovarian tissue, enjoys the cooperation of Dr. rer. medic Ina Wilkemeyer from the Clinic for Urology at Charité Mitte. Her experience as head of the cryobank for male germ cells will facilitate the establishment of a laboratory that will also process and preserve female germ cells and ovarian tissue.

In general, until the age of 18, pediatric oncology patients receive their follow-up care in the Outpatient Clinic/SPC of the Department of Pediatrics with specialists in oncology, hematology, and stem cell transplantation. The MVZ Internal Oncology/Hematology of the Charité offers a continuation of follow-up care to patients 18 years and older. A structured transition to the adult sector, which therefore ensures patients uninterrupted long-term aftercare has only recently been established at the Charité. Prof. Dr. med. Wörmann from the Medical Clinic for Hematology, Oncology and Tumor Immunology and psychologist Wiebke Stritter from the Pediatric Clinic with specialization in oncology and hematology work together with Prof. Anja Borgmann-Staudt to implement this transition into their patient consultations.
