Prof. Dr. Gunhild von Amsberg is the first woman and second German internal oncologist to be awarded honorary membership of the German Society of Urology (DGU). This honor is awarded to doctors and scientists who have made outstanding contributions to urological science or the society.

“Shaping innovations together and meeting challenges together” was the motto of this year's DGHO Annual Meeting from October 11 to 14, 2024. Numerous colleagues from the UCC Hamburg were on site in the city on the Rhine.

“Individual care for each person and special groups of people in palliative and hospice care” was the focus of this year's “Palliative Care Day at the UKE”.A total of 180 participants from various professional groups and interdisciplinary specialist areas took part.

This year, the University Cancer Centre Hamburg not only turned 15 years old, but has also been given a new look to mark this anniversary. Fresh, modern and Hanseatic, the UCC Hamburg has a new logo and a new orange colour.

In 2009, German Cancer Aid awarded the Hubertus Wald Tumor Center - University Cancer Center (UCC) Hamburg of the UKE the title of Oncological Center of Excellence for the first time. In this interview, its Board of Directors takes a look back and into the future.
