KiTZ board of experts

A second opinion

For complex and rare cases

A second opinion can open up new perspectives and provide additional treatment alternatives. The KiTZ second opinion board is a service that is particularly aimed at patients with recurrent brain tumors or solid tumors of the abdomen and chest, as well as other types of cancer. It consists of pediatric oncologists, specialized pediatric surgeons, specialists from the fields of pediatric radiology and radiotherapy, pediatric pathology and nuclear medicine, as well as scientists from Heidelberg University Hospital and the German Cancer Research Center. They meet regularly to discuss complex or rare cases of childhood cancer.
