[Results of a psycho-oncological project at the University Women's Hospital Leipzig]

This paper deals with a synoptic description of experiences of an inter-disciplinary oncologic project by means of its three main components--theoretical research, further education and qualification as well as psychological intervention program. It was shown that team work between physicians, nurses and psychologists led to an new insight and higher working effectivity with minimal subjective stress. This team work led also to the creation of favourable conditions for an appropriate management of diseases through an intensive and integrated patient care. The application of this model project in the routine oncological follow-up would be recommended.
