Research Areas

Key Fields of Scientific Contribution

Our research spans the major clinical areas in which St. George Hospital has developed expertise over more than four decades.

Hyperthermia in Oncology

The late Dr. Friedrich Douwes was among the first to introduce clinical hyperthermia in Germany. Our publications document outcomes of whole-body and local-regional hyperthermia in combination with conventional cancer therapies.

Integrative Cancer Treatment

Research on multimodal cancer protocols combining low-dose chemotherapy, immune therapy, hyperthermia, and biological support therapies. Focus on quality of life and treatment tolerability.

Lyme Disease & Co-Infections

Studies on diagnostic challenges in chronic Lyme disease, therapeutic approaches including multimodal protocols, and the role of immune system modulation in persistent tick-borne infections.

Immune Therapy

Publications on dendritic cell therapy, autologous immune protocols, and immune modulation strategies in both oncological and chronic inflammatory contexts.

Photodynamic Therapy

Clinical documentation of photodynamic therapy applications in cancer treatment, exploring mechanisms, protocols, and observed outcomes in various tumor types.

Biological Medicine

Research on detoxification protocols, organotherapy, fever therapy, and other biological approaches used as part of comprehensive treatment programs for chronic disease.
