Oncoguide
At the University Cancer Center Hamburg (UCC Hamburg), we offer various support services for cancer patients and their relatives at every stage of the disease.
A cancer diagnosis changes the lives of those affected and their families from one day to the next. How can the wealth of information be sorted through? How can the medical content be understood? What additional services are available? Our guides and cancer information service provides you with practical support in the form of various oncology guides.

Cancer counseling for families
A cancer diagnosis is an emotional and organizational challenge for the entire family and all those close to the person affected. That is why we consider the different perspectives and offer support for:
- Children, adolescents, and young adults who have or have had cancer themselves, along with their parents, siblings, and caregiver
- Parents with cancer and their minor children
- Those seeking advice within and outside the UKE
- Professional groups such as teachers, educators, or pedagogues who work in the environment of a family affected by cancer
- We take time for you and try to find ways forward together on various levels.

Social Counseling at UCC Hamburg
A cancer diagnosis always means a drastic change to your everyday life and personal lifestyle. Social counseling provides advice and assistance in communicating with institutions and authorities during and after your time at the clinic.
Our social workers are experts in addressing and clarifying psychosocial and social law issues within a holistic care concept. The aim is to provide you with individual support in making informed decisions on your own responsibility, implementing them, and promoting your individual participation.

Information on cancer
Dealing with a cancer diagnosis is as individual as the people affected themselves. Some want to gather as much information as possible, while others need distance, space, and time to focus on themselves first. We have compiled a selection of information materials.
