Prof. Dr. med. Martin Glas

As an expert in neurology and specialist in neuro-oncology, Professor Dr. Martin Glas attaches great importance to modern and highly competent medical care. His aim is to significantly expand the care of patients with diseases of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves in Lünen and to further develop this through innovative research projects. The focus is not only on disease treatment, but also on disease prevention with the topic of brain health. As a renowned brain tumor expert, he naturally continues to attach great importance to the treatment of patients with brain tumors and cancers of the spinal cord at St. Marien Hospital in Lünen. In close cooperation with the specialist departments for neurosurgery, medical oncology, radiotherapy and other disciplines, an individually tailored diagnosis and therapy is developed for each patient. State-of-the-art diagnostic procedures and treatment methods are used to ensure the best possible care. Close cooperation with the neurosurgery experts is important here, as they specialize in complex procedures on the central nervous system. In addition, Prof. Glas' previous and current scientific activities have led to close links with a number of research and clinical centers. This network conducts joint research into the further development of new diagnostic and therapeutic methods. Prof. Glas' scientific work has been documented by numerous publications, has received awards and has been supported by millions in funding. He is also the founder of the German Innovation Alliance Cancer and Brain, the campaign Gemeinsam gegen Glioblastom (www.gemeinsamgegenglioblastom.org) and on the advisory board of the patient organization Yeswecan!cer (www.yeswecan-cer.org).

In addition to strengthening the focus on (neuro)oncology, Prof. Dr. Glas is also committed to expanding stroke care and further developing the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and multiple sclerosis. In addition to inpatient care, the internationally recognized specialist in neurology and neuro-oncology is pursuing the goal of improving the networking of neurological care for regional, national and international patients. For many years, he has therefore already established a virtual consultation. This enables patients to receive a flexible consultation from any location. Prof. Glas is also involved in digital therapy options. For example, he is a co-founder of tame Gmbh, a company that has developed the digital migraine therapy and app headacy (www.headacy.com).

St. Marien Hospital Lünen, as an academic teaching hospital of the University of Münster, as the largest regional care provider and with its interdisciplinary Neurocenter, offers optimal conditions for the highly specialized treatment of neurological and neuro-oncological diseases. The close cooperation between the specialties of neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology, oncology, radiotherapy, intensive care medicine, internal medicine/cardiology and many others guarantees comprehensive and modern care. In addition to the treatment of brain tumors, the clinic also provides excellent care for strokes, multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases and many other neurological disorders. The hospital's supra-regional stroke unit, which was recertified in 2025, treats over 840 stroke patients every year and relies on a multi-professional care concept that includes medical services, nursing, therapy and social services.
