Newly diagnosed – what matters now?
After a new cancer diagnosis, tumour type, histology, stage, possible metastases, biomarkers and general health are key. Together with the oncology team, these findings form the basis for an individual treatment plan.
Cancer diagnosis – what now? →
When metastases have been detected
Metastases mean that tumour cells are detectable outside the original tumour. Which treatment may be appropriate depends, among other things, on the primary tumour, location and extent of metastasis, tumour biology and previous treatments.

When treatment is not working sufficiently
If the disease progresses during or after treatment, it should first be clarified whether there is true progression, which resistance mechanisms or biomarkers may be relevant, and which guideline-based subsequent lines of therapy or clinical trial options are available.
Immunotherapy – could it be suitable for me?
Whether immunotherapy is appropriate or approved cannot be determined from the diagnosis alone. Tumour type, stage, biomarkers, previous treatments and individual risks all play a central role.

Read about specific cancer types
Separate information pages are available for common tumour types, with information on diagnostics, standard treatment, immuno-oncology and dendritic-cell approaches.
Have your individual medical records reviewed
For structured orientation, existing reports, histology, current imaging, previous treatments and – where available – molecular findings can be reviewed together. This can help identify questions to discuss with the treating oncologist and determine which additional immuno-oncology information may be relevant.
