About the Clinic

Cyberknife Munich-Grosshadern Clinic

The European oncology center is included in the list of the best radiosurgical cancer treatment clinics. The medical facility was founded in 2005 on the basis of the Munich University Hospital Grosshadern. During the entire existence of the center, about 10 thousand successful operations to remove pathological neoplasms have been performed here.

Specialists of the oncology clinic work closely with research institutes, leading world and German medical institutions, regularly introducing the latest therapy methods. The innovative center has completely changed the concept of cancer treatment and managed to save thousands of lives of cancer patients.

Clinic Description

The "Cyberknife" Medical Center has received the certificate of the expert European Radio-Surgical Center. The official document confirms the high qualifications of doctors and their right to work on a new generation radiosurgical installation.

Advantages of the European oncological clinic Munich-Grosshadern:

  • modern high-tech equipment for treatment and diagnostics;
  • highly qualified surgeons;
  • treatment effectiveness even in the most complex cases (95% remissions);
  • excellent service;
  • possibility of non-surgical therapy on an outpatient basis;
  • medical documents in English.

Therapy effectiveness is achieved through proven protocols and strict criteria for planning operations with the support of innovative equipment.

Treatment at the Oncology Center

Most malignant neoplasms respond well to Cyberknife treatment:

  • intracranial tumors – meningioma, gonocytoma, neuroma, craniopharyngioma, glioblastoma, etc.;
  • extracranial neoplasms – lung, kidney, ovarian, intestinal, prostate, nasopharyngeal cancer, etc.

The device allows fighting hard-to-reach tumors located in the brain stem, affecting the pancreas, auditory and optic nerves.

Treatment with Cyberknife resembles radiation therapy, and one session lasts no longer than one and a half hours. The painless procedure is performed on an outpatient basis without anesthesia, does not require rehabilitation or hospital stay.

Doctors:

We owe the appearance of the oncology center to two highly qualified radiosurgeons of Europe – Professors Alexander Muacevic and Bernd Wowra. Within the walls of the clinic, they gathered the best specialists in Germany – first-class neurosurgeons, radiologists, oncologists and diagnosticians. In cooperation with leading medical institutions of the world, invaluable experience is exchanged, modern methods are borrowed and consultations are organized to discuss complex clinical cases.

How does the "Cyberknife" apparatus work?

Before the session begins, tumor image data is read by CT and MRI machines. Then a program is compiled that takes into account the features of the neoplasm and the radiation dose. The rest of the work is automatically performed by the device based on the created program. The apparatus generates high-power photon radiation and purposefully destroys the neoplasm without affecting neighboring tissues. The emitter is built into the operating robot system – the installation moves around the patient in three planes and is capable of irradiating the pathology focus from 200 positions.

The gamma-ray beam concentrates in the tumor, damaging its cells at the genetic level. Mutated cells lose the ability to divide, stop metastasizing and die. The Cyberknife M6 Incise2 technique differs from conventional radiation therapy in that it gives one high-intensity dose of rays instead of several low-power ones.

Doctors at the European Center Munich-Grosshadern work on the latest generation cyber installation with a built-in InCise 2 collimator. The special module is designed for finer target adjustment and 3D accuracy control of therapy in real time. The emitter is able to control its movements, adjusting to the slightest movements of the patient (breathing, swallowing). Thanks to the robotic device, it is possible to achieve high irradiation accuracy – only 0.5 mm!

Target definition
for the robot

Through surgery, the tumor is marked with gold threads under anesthesia.

With sudden patient movement, there is a high risk of rays deviating from the target.

Cameras do not have time to record changes, and the robot can touch healthy tissues, which will lead to massive bleeding and damage to neighboring organs.

Improved software does not require tumor marking.

Faster cameras recognize the breathing phase and "breathe" along with the patient.

The robot compensates for the slightest patient movements and does not deviate from the target.

Tumor location

Due to insufficient robot accuracy, treatment of moving organs and near large vessels and nerves is dangerous.

Treatment is completely safe even on the iris of the eye, in the lungs, pancreas and liver.

There is no risk of damage to healthy organs.

Robot error

The robot deviates from the target with an error of 0.5 mm and damages more healthy tissues.

The robot error is only 0.1 mm.

Tumor shape

Round or oval with clear boundaries

A robot without a collimator can only form a round beam of rays and try to cover the tumor with it.

There is a risk of damage to healthy organs and incomplete tumor irradiation.

Any shape and volume, even with an unclear edge

Using the collimator, Cyberknife M6 initially models a beam of rays according to the tumor shape and outlines it with an accuracy of 0.1 mm.

This is especially important for brain tumors, prostate, pancreas and iris of the eye.

Radiation power 13 Gray 25 Gray
Maximum size of irradiated tumor Up to 5 cm Up to 10 cm
Treatment session time 60 min, several sessions 20-30 min

Due to the high accuracy of Cyberknife M6 Incise2, we can double the radiation dose without risk of damaging healthy organs. High-intensity rays aimed exactly at the tumor "burn out" cancer cells 100% in 1 session.

In addition, with the new apparatus we halve irradiation time and can treat large tumors. Earlier versions lack power and are used only for small foci.
