Act

Burghardt was interested in gynecological oncology , in particular morphogenesis , diagnosis and treatment of cervical carcinoma . Since working at the Pathological-Anatomical Institute, he has been particularly concerned with the problem of the early stages of malignant tumors. His scientific findings led to a reduction in operative radicalism in early stages of cervical cancer through conization , which he enforced against the initial resistance of his teacher Ernst Navratil. A further field of activity from 1979 was the expansion of surgical procedures for the treatment of advanced cervical cancer, as well as the scientific investigation of the question of the spread of ovarian cancer and its surgical treatment. At the clinic, he established research focuses on diabetes in pregnancy , biochemistry of the placenta , urogynecology , gynecological endocrinology and reproductive medicine , prenatal diagnostics . He also set up areas for child and adolescent gynecology and senology .
