Cancer operations in Hamburg: Highest procedures and care quotient at the Helios Mariahilf Klinikum. Current numbers and rankings.
Hamburg's hospitals in the fight against cancer: 2025 results in the ranking!
On November 10, 2025, we will be looking at an impressive number: a total of 6,909 cancer operations were carried out in Hamburg in the last twelve months. A remarkable achievement when you consider that around 500,000 Germans develop cancer every year. This shows how important specialized clinics are in the treatment of this widespread disease. Breast cancer, like colon and lung cancer, is one of the most common types of cancer in Germany, as news.de reports.
But it is not just the number of operations carried out that is remarkable. There are a total of 34 hospitals in Hamburg that have carried out a total of 476,801 procedures. In this context, the Jerusalem Hospital in Hamburg is particularly noteworthy, as it has the highest number of cases with 1,365 breast cancer operations. The nursing staff ratio, which measures the number of patients per nurse per year, makes it clear that more intensive care is the order of the day in clinics. The Helios Mariahilf Klinikum GmbH leads here with a care quotient of 35.43. You can read more about this in the analysis at news.de.
Clinics in comparison
If you compare the different clinics in Hamburg with each other, the quality of medical care becomes even clearer. Here is an overview of the most renowned institutions:
| clinic | Number of interventions | Nursing quotient | Nursing staff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jerusalem Hospital | 1,365 | 37.34 | 21 |
| AGAPLESION DIAKONIEKLINIKUM HAMBURG | 444 | 46.71 | 386 |
| Asklepios Clinic Barmbek | 380 | 52.83 | 693 |
| Helios Mariahilf Klinikum GmbH | 176 | 35.43 | 176 |
| UKE (University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf) | 271 | 48.44 | 2,049 |
These statistics make it clear that a low care quotient often means more intensive and individual care for patients. Hamburg is a perfect example of how important the structural provision of nursing staff is in order to meet the challenges in the healthcare system. The Krebsinformationsdienst highlights that regular reports and statistical surveys on cancer frequency and prognosis make these topics even more transparent.
Given this situation, it is crucial that citizens are as informed as possible and know the best treatment options in their area. The year 2025 shows that hope and progress in the fight against cancer is realistic, but also that we must continue to focus our attention on these challenges.
