Based on the already well-established and successfully certified oncology centers on both campuses, the UKSH established a University Cancer Center Schleswig-Holstein (UCCSH) together with the universities in Kiel and Luebeck.
The UCCSH is the association of all oncology facilities of the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, with locations in Kiel and Luebeck, supported by Christian Albrechts University (CAU) Kiel and die Luebeck University (UzL).
In close collaboration with our cooperation partners, the UCCSH guarantees guideline-based treatment and jointly develops projects in the areas of prevention and research in order to enable patients a participation in clinical studies of all development phases.
Within the UCCSH, the expertise of all disciplines and all cooperation partners in the UCCSH network will be brought together in order to offer cancer patients in the north of Germany the best possible care as well as to receive funding and recognition from German Cancer Aid as an Oncology Center of Excellence in the future through continuous quality improvement.
