Individual treatments without any waiting time
Immediate assignment of treatment sessions without any delay, any day of the week, on a 24/7 basis
Treatments are planned individually for any patient based on an individual computed tomographic screening. The medical staff (the radiotherapist and the doctor) is working out the treatment plan with an utmost focus on protecting healthy organs and tissue.
Individual radiotherapy sessions are done daily, about 10-15 minutes each, over a period of a couple of weeks.
During the sessions doctors will take care of the patients all the time and will also provide consultations regarding nutrition and physiotherapy.
Even after the completion of the radiotherapy sessions we are always available for our patients and offer regular screening and medical examinations.

Radiotherapy has significantly increased the chance of healing for a number of different tumors. Side effects have thereby been reduced to a minimum and neighboring organs are protected.
