About the clinic
German Medical Institute (GMI) in Limassol, Cyprus, provides colon cancer diagnosis and treatment, including surgery, drug therapies, and radiation. An online oncologist consultation may cost around $300; the clinic has Cyprus’s first PET/CT scanner and a weekly multidisciplinary oncology board.
Colonoscopy, biopsy, and PET/CT diagnosis
GMI brings gastroenterology, radiology, histopathology, nuclear medicine, medical oncology, and radiation oncology together under one roof. Dr. Valentinos Kounnis, Director of Medical Oncology, focuses on colorectal and prostate cancers. He trained at Oxford University Hospitals and holds a PhD in molecular oncology.
- Colonoscopy and tissue sampling: High-definition colonoscopy uses an Olympus CF-HQ1100DL system and CO2 insufflation. The clinic also performs polypectomy and endoscopic biopsy.
- Laboratory testing: Histopathology and molecular testing results take about 10–12 days.
- Additional endoscopy: Available tests include endoscopic ultrasound, ERCP, and capsule endoscopy.
- Imaging: Options include CT, MRI, and PET/CT. GMI’s PET/CT scanner was the first in Cyprus.
- Consultations: Online oncologist and outpatient gastroenterology consultations are available.
HIPEC, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment
The weekly GMI Gastroenterology Oncology Board develops individual treatment plans across specialties. Options include:
- Laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery: Keyhole surgery uses 3D and 4K laparoscopy towers, energy-based devices, and a hybrid operating theatre. ICG-guided fluoroscopic surgery can support sentinel lymph node biopsy and reduce the need for extensive resection. Day surgery is used where possible.
- Cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC: For colorectal cancer that has spread across the peritoneum, surgeons remove visible disease and apply heated chemotherapy inside the abdomen.
- Chemotherapy: Systemic treatment is given in dedicated chemotherapy and immunotherapy infusion suites.
- Immunotherapy: Molecular profiling guides the selection of a personalised regimen.
- Targeted therapy: Molecular tests and predictive markers guide treatment selection.
- External beam radiation therapy: The plan is tailored to biological, anatomical, and clinical features.
- Brachytherapy: Image-guided HDR treatment uses Iridium-192, with CT, MRI, or ultrasound guidance.
- Robotic surgery: This option is announced as coming soon.
GMI holds ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000, and CHKS accreditations. Patients can request an oncology consultation through Bookimed.

Just finished today at the Oncology centre and i had surgery last week and am now recovering. The experience was absolutely amazing,i am only full of superlatives and look forward to life getting back to normal
I was greeted on day 1 by Antigoni in admissions and shown around i was given my room on the 4th floor and everyone was helpful ,i met a dimitra and Marios i remember who always brought me cool fresh water bottles as i needed to stay hydrated after surgery. On the momemt of surgery which was with the Uroligist Doctor Petros T ,i was also greeted by a lovely, friendly, helpful lady called Katerina,who helped keep me calm before Anesthesia.The sugery was a sucess and my stay in the hospital plus follow ups have been perfect.i highly recommended this place.From the quick turnarounds of surgery as i needed it urgently and to my leave.

I want to sincerely thank Dr. Andreas Filis. He performed an excellent surgery on my father and helped him get rid of tumor. From the very first meeting, Dr. Filis was very kind, explained everything clearly, and acted professionally. We felt like we were in safe hands.
The surgery was very successful thanks to his skill. We are endlessly grateful to him for everything he has done for our family. Dr. Filis is not only a great doctor but also a sincere and caring person. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced and trustworthy neurosurgeon.

A new building in a great location.
The clinic is very clean, and the staff is friendly.
I had a cosmetic surgeon with Dr. Iakovos Georgiou, and everything went perfectly.
The doctor and his team were extremely professional, and I’m beyond happy with the results.
If anyone says there’s no quality surgery in Cyprus, they just haven’t been here.

I was at the German Oncology centre on Thursday 19 th October 2023.till 21 St October.
I went there for a pacemaker. I want to say everything was perfect from the treatment to operation. All the nursing staff and doctors are excellent. I was in the I C U unit. Plus the food was delicious.
I had been operated in a nice clean and professional clinic.
Well done to all.

Unprofessional service provided by the director of the infectious diseases department of the institute. Incorrect diagnosis and improper treatment, if it can even be called treatment. As for their dermatologists, it’s better to remain silent—utterly lacking in professionalism. Steer clear of this so-called “medical” institution.
