About the clinic
Melanoma care at German Medical Institute (GMI) in Limassol, Cyprus, includes skin checks, surgery, drug therapy, and radiotherapy. An online oncologist consultation may cost around $300. Suspicious or changing lesions can be assessed within 15 days, and GMI has Cyprus’s first PET/CT scanner.
Melanoma diagnosis at GMI
Assessment can begin with AI-enhanced mole mapping and high-resolution digital dermoscopy. GMI also offers an urgent pathway for suspicious or changing lesions, with assessment within 15 days.
- Skin lesion checks: Mole screening, automated total body mole mapping, and digital dermoscopy for pigmented lesions.
- Tissue testing: Skin biopsy under local anesthetic, followed by histopathology with immunohistochemistry and molecular testing.
- Lymph node assessment: Fine-needle aspiration and sentinel lymph node biopsy guided by indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence.
- Imaging: PET/CT, CT, and MRI scans.
- Oncologist consultation: Online consultation is available.
Surgery and reconstruction
Prof. Panayiotis Kyzas, a consultant surgeon in head and neck oncology, performs facial skin melanoma excision. He has completed 800+ microvascular free flap reconstructions.
- Suspicious mole or skin lesion excision: The lesion is removed whole under local anesthetic, then closed with sutures and a dressing for histopathology.
- Facial melanoma excision: Wide local excision removes the melanoma. Local skin flaps or skin grafts can repair the area.
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy: ICG-guided surgery checks nearby lymph nodes and supports staging.
- Lymph node or neck dissection: Surgery removes involved regional lymph nodes.
- Reconstruction: Microvascular free flaps, skin grafts, or local flaps restore tissue after excision.
- Electrosurgery: An electric current destroys selected skin lesions after anesthetic cream is applied.
Drug therapy and radiotherapy
For advanced melanoma, GMI offers immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy in dedicated infusion suites. Targeted therapy is based on tumour biology. External beam radiotherapy uses image guidance.
- Brachytherapy (HDR): An Iridium-192 source is placed through needles or catheters, guided by CT, MRI, or ultrasound.
- Clinical trials: Patients may have access to investigational therapies.
GMI holds ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000, and CHKS accreditations. Its multidisciplinary tumour boards bring oncology teams together. Patients can request a 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.
