Tumor and blood diseases are treated on an interdisciplinary basis, together with operations, drug therapy and radiation.Thanks to a good network of an interdisciplinary team, patients are regularly presented and discussed among the doctors on tumor boards of the radio-oncology, Biel Seeland and at the Linde Clinic.

For special situations, connections are made with central hospitals so that you can benefit from the most modern, and in some cases still study preparations. So we can advise you together with your family members individually for your situation, with the advantage that you are always looked after by the same team.

Most of the therapies are treated on our outpatient ward with a specially set up practice. Thanks to our therapy-oriented infrastructure, a decision can be made within a few minutes whether infusion therapy is feasible or not. In special cases, inpatient therapies can also be carried out in the Linde Clinic under my supervision.

We also offer palliative care and work closely with the SEOP, oncological care outside the hospital of the Spitex special unit for oncological care at home.

Thanks to the broad and long-term experience of PD Dr. med. Marco Siano, we have over 10 years of experience with highly specialized immunotherapies and special expertise for certain solid tumors such as head and neck tumors, skin tumors (melanoma), lung tumors, hematology and breast cancer. This, thanks to many years of work at renowned centers:

Head and neck tumors: Istituto Nazionale dei Tumorei - Milano, President of the SAKK head and neck tumor group

Thyroid tumors: Institut Gustave Roussy - Paris

Breast cancer: Kantonsspital St. Gallen, breast assistant Istituto Oncologico della Svizzera Italiana - Bellinzona, with Prof. A. Goldhirsch and Fr. Prof. O. Pagani.

Hemato-Oncology: Istituto Oncologico della Svizzera Italiana - Bellinzona, with Prof. F. Cavalli

Lung tumors: Kantonsspital St. Gallen, with Prof. M. Früh

As the former chief physician and head of the SIC tumor center at Hopital Rivera-Chablais in Rennaz, he is basically familiar with all solid and hematological tumors and offers genetic advice and the corresponding clarification in the case of hereditary predisposition.
