Children, adolescents and young adults who have been diagnosed with tumours of the bones or musculoskeletal system are treated at the Bone and Soft Tissue Tumour Centre (KWUB). This centre is run by the UKBB in cooperation with the University Hospital Basel (USB). It is one of the first national sarcoma centres to provide interdisciplinary treatment for both children and adults.
The Bone and soft tissue tumour centre of the University of Basel provides interdisciplinary care and treatment for patients through an established sarcoma team. The centre combines diagnostic, surgical and medical expertise for the treatment of patients with benign and malignant tumours of the musculoskeletal system.
In addition to specialised surgeons, specialists from pathology, oncology, vascular and plastic surgery, as well as interventional radiology and radio-oncology are always involved in the surgical treatment of malignant tumours.
The oncological experts at the UKBB are represented on important national and international specialist committees. Thanks to its many years of expertise and constant presence at scientific congresses and specialist events, the KWUB, which was founded at the University of Basel in 2005, has established itself as a supra-regional centre.
The Bone and Soft Tissue Tumour Centre is one of only four centres of its kind in Europe and the only one in Switzerland to have been recognised by the international Bone tumour working group (AGKT) as an interdisciplinary treatment centre for bone tumours.
