Patients with bone and soft tissue tumor changes can be referred to us at any time, or they can send us documents for initial evaluation. The patients are called by the two secretariats for consultation or, depending on the urgency, also on an emergency basis. The initial assessment of the patients is done by the two heads of KWUB, where an initial treatment strategy is determined in coordination with the board. Depending on the situation, further diagnosis/treatment then takes place either at the University Hospital Basel or the University Children’s Hospital Basel.

For the referral of a patient, a consultative assessment or registration for the KWUB Tumor Board, we absolutely require the following for processing:

  1. Complete patient data (name, date of birth, address, telephone number, health insurance company)

  2. Current physician’s report/letter of referral

  3. Transmission of the complete imaging via H-Net or by mail on CD, which are necessary for the evaluation.

  4. All previous findings (MRI, CT, SPECT-CT, etc.)

We kindly ask you to send all documents to the following e-mail address: kwub@ukbb.ch

If the documents are incomplete, they cannot be processed.

The preparation of a consultative service will be billed to your patient’s health insurance. As the referring physician, you are responsible for informing your patient of this.

 

Due to our certification process as a sarcoma center, we have adjusted the registration process. The registration form can be found here:

Tumorboard-Link

(REDCap link to a secure web platform. All data entered is stored on a dedicated server at the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland)

The registration deadline is Monday at 2:00 p.m.

Please fill out the registration form completely so that we can process your referral.

Please upload the mandatory reports and original imaging findings using the “Upload file” buttons provided and share the images with us via H-Net for the UKBB.

If this is not possible, please send us the images exclusively in DICOM format on CD or USB stick to the address below.

For organizational reasons, we can only respond to tumor inquiries in this manner.
