Your treatment options

Surgery, radiation and CyberKnife

Surgery, radiotherapy and CyberKnife are arranged at a collaborating treatment center. Our oncology team coordinates these appointments with your hospital program and your oncologist at home.

One coordinated plan

Specialist treatment at a collaborating center

Dr. Julian Douwes leads the complementary oncology program and develops its treatment protocols. Dr. Martin Rößner, Chief Physician, is responsible for daily clinical care and sees patients. When the plan includes an operation or radiation treatment, the procedure takes place at a collaborating center. Its specialist team confirms suitability, explains the procedure and provides the treatment.

Before you travel, we clarify the referral, location, appointment sequence and cost arrangements with you. The hospital proposal identifies which services are provided here and which are supplied by the collaborating center. The choice of center depends on the treatment you need.

From your records to a shared plan

  1. Review

    Our oncology team reviews your records and identifies the specialist assessment needed.

  2. Specialist decision

    The collaborating center confirms the procedure and explains its own treatment plan.

  3. Coordinate

    Dates, recovery and complementary hospital care are brought into one practical schedule.

Three specialist treatment options

Surgery

Cancer surgery may remove a tumor or serve another defined clinical purpose. The surgical team reviews your imaging, pathology and general condition before recommending an operation. Surgery is carried out at the collaborating center; preparation, recovery and the timing of complementary care are coordinated with that team.

Bring the operation report and discharge plan back into your shared treatment record. Any rehabilitation or follow-up appointments are agreed with the treating clinicians.

Radiation therapy

Radiotherapy uses targeted radiation to treat cancer. A radiation oncologist at the collaborating center decides the technique, treatment field and schedule. We coordinate hospital appointments around that schedule, including any planned hyperthermia sessions.

Which treatment is appropriate depends on the diagnosis, location and stage of the cancer, previous treatment and your overall condition. Read the National Cancer Institute overview of cancer treatments.

CyberKnife

CyberKnife is a robotic system for stereotactic radiation treatment. Despite its name, it delivers radiation rather than making an incision. The collaborating radiation center assesses whether this technique is suitable for your tumor and plans the treatment.

It is one possible radiation technique, not a suitable option for every tumor. Your radiation oncologist explains the alternatives and the expected benefits and risks. About the CyberKnife system from its manufacturer.

Before appointments are booked

  • Share your pathology, imaging reports and records of previous treatments.
  • Confirm where each treatment takes place and which physician is responsible.
  • Review transport, recovery time and any companion arrangements.
  • Ask for the hospital and collaborating-center cost arrangements in writing.
