Germany is a global leader in cancer treatment: the 5-year survival rate is higher than the EU average. Proton and ion therapy, CAR-T cell therapy, targeted drugs, and personalized oncology are available.
German oncology sets the global standard for personalized treatment. Here, a molecular tumor profile is created for each patient, which is used to tailor targeted therapy.
Germany has 4 proton therapy centers, 2 carbon ion therapy centers, and 18 university cancer centers (NCT, CCC, ONCOMAP). More than 450,000 cancer patients are treated at German hospitals each year, including more than 12,000 foreigners.
German clinics use all modern approaches, from classical to the latest personalized approaches.
Spot irradiation of a tumor with a proton beam without damaging the surrounding tissue. It is used for brain tumors, eye tumors, pediatric oncology.
Even more accurate and effective than proton therapy. It is used for radioresistant tumors - chondrosarcoma, adenocystic cancer, melanoma.
The patient's T-cells are "trained" to attack cancer cells. Breakthrough in leukemia, lymphoma - one injection gives remission in 70-90% of cases.
Drugs "take the brakes off" the immune system. Pembrolizumab, Nivolumab - standard for melanoma, lung cancer, kidney cancer.
Drugs targeting specific mutations (HER2, EGFR, BRAF, BRCA). Selected based on the molecular profile of the tumor.
Da Vinci surgeries: minimally invasive, accurate to the millimeter. Quick recovery, minimal scarring and blood loss.
Incisionless radiosurgery - for tumors of the brain, spine, lungs. Up to 800 beams from different directions converge at one point.
Intra-abdominal chemotherapy with heated solutions - in ovarian, gastric, appendix cancer with metastases to the peritoneum.
We organize treatment for all cases. The following are frequent referrals from our patients.
The standard patient pathway is from initial request to return home and long-term follow-up.
Send the discharge notes, CT/MRI scans, biopsy results. The German professor will give an opinion within 3-5 days.
The clinic performs NGS sequencing of the tumor to detect mutations. This is the basis for personalized therapy.
10-15 specialists (oncologist, surgeon, radiologist, pathologist, geneticist) discuss your case and create an individualized plan.
Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation/proton therapy, immunotherapy - according to the plan of the consilium. Usually 2-10 weeks.
4-6 weeks after treatment - CT/MRI, tests, examination. We adjust the supportive therapy.
After returning home - online consultations with a German doctor every 3-6 months for the first 2 years.
