Treatment of cancer with drugs

Prof. Dr Kraine’s specialist field is the effective treatment of cancer with drugs, with special emphasis being placed on the possible minimisation of any side effects.

In order to determine the best possible treatment Prof. Dr Krainer discusses the available findings with the patient. After providing detailed information about the possible range of treatments the further stages of treatment are jointly planned. If necessary the surgery has further examinations carried out or other results brought in.

As “Urological and Gynaecological Tumours” programme director at the University Clinic for Internal Medicine I at Vienna General Hospital, Prof. Dr Krainer is responsible for patients with gynaecological tumours and patients with urological tumours. In these cases he offers his patients intensive and many years of established cooperation with the best gynaecologists and urologists.

Molecular cancer diagnostics

Cancer is often due to genetic factors that are present long before the disease occurs. This fact allows an early diagnosis to be made – possibly even before the outbreak of the illness. As a specialist in human genetics Prof. Dr Krainer advises on the most up-to-date possibilities in this rapidly developing field and offers the most advanced methods of genetic diagnostics. In particular he advises cancer patients and their relatives about the possible presence of genetic causes which could subsequently be passed on to their descendants. In addition to comprehensive information about the must current and best molecular diagnosis procedures, the surgery also offers tailor-made preventative programmes which can considerably reduce the risk to those involved.
