About the clinic
Colon cancer treatment is available at the Medical Center in Solingen, an Academic Hospital in Germany. A consultation with a radiologist costs around $295, chemotherapy cycles are about $1,180, and comprehensive surgical packages for colectomy run from $22,411 to $29,488. The clinic is a German Cancer Society certified center led by Professor Boris Pfaffenbach, who has performed over 9,000 colorectal procedures in his 32-year career.
The clinic provides a full range of diagnostic services for a precise evaluation. This allows doctors to create an individual treatment plan based on a patient's specific cancer stage and health.
Comprehensive Diagnostics
The diagnostic process is thorough. It often includes:
- Initial Laboratory Tests: A biochemical blood analysis for tumor markers may cost around $112.
- Imaging: This includes abdominal and thorax CT scans (about $1,100), PET-CT, and thyroid ultrasound.
- Biopsy & Endoscopy: Procedures like colonoscopy with biopsy or fine-needle aspiration biopsy ($328–$547) are performed to confirm the diagnosis. A radiologist then reviews all findings.
For a complete overview, patients can opt for a full oncology diagnostic package. This detailed workup typically costs between $6,400 and $7,000.
Treatment Options at the Clinic
Based on the diagnostic results, doctors recommend the most suitable treatment method. The medical team uses both systemic therapy and advanced surgical techniques.
- Chemotherapy: A single cycle of chemotherapy is available. This includes the treatment and a consultation for around $1,180.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery (Laparoscopic Resection): This technique uses small incisions. It is often preferred for faster recovery.
- Open Surgery (Colectomy): For more complex cases, an open colectomy or large bowel resection is performed. The surgical package covers everything from the operation and anesthesia to a 4–7 night hospital stay and follow-up care.
- Supportive Procedure: For patients requiring long-term chemotherapy, port catheter implantation is offered. This package includes the procedure, a 6-day hospital stay, and key diagnostics like PET-CT.
Professor Pfaffenbach brings extensive expertise to these procedures. He is a published member of leading German and European gastroenterology societies.
The clinic's affiliation with the University of Cologne ensures adherence to high academic standards. Its certified cancer center status provides reassurance about the quality of care. To explore a personalized treatment plan for colon cancer, you can request a consultation with the clinic's specialists.

It was a great help to have somebody with me during the day of the tests, sorting my papers and dealing with translation
Having made an initial enquiry on line, I was impressed by the follow up and treatment proposals and costs
I did some research and determined that I needed to get the very best medical attention
It was a great help to have somebody with me during the day of the tests, sorting my papers and dealing with translation. Absolutely invaluable
Everything was explained to me in detail
My only comments are that it would have been good to have been informed about the number of nights stay in the hospital
I expected an overnight stay after the procedure
In fact for good reasons it was a total of three nights

There was an operation on the soft palate and a gastrocheck. The professor surgeon, a conscientious and attentive person, did an excellent job. There would be more such specialists. I have questions for the accompanying Russian office, nurses and ultrasound doctor: 1) The catheter was installed only the fourth time, and as a result, I now have a damaged vein in my arm that can no longer be restored 2) the ultrasound doctor found two cysts in the thyroid, 1.2 cm each , although this had never happened before, upon arrival home I did a double check, the cysts turned out to be 1.2 mm each, perhaps in the conclusion the comma was placed in the wrong place, or the fact that the doctor was very young 3) support and organization for 3, they took payment for a separate fee, but except for me there was also a man. They promised to recalculate, but they never did, after 3 months. Then I sent photographs to show them to the professor to make sure that everything was ok with the larynx, I first checked whether it was possible to send them. I've been waiting two weeks for an answer, and now they're completely ignoring me. The impression is that after receiving payment, attention and interest in the patient ends.

Not good. The people that I had appointments with did not show up. I met with others who seemed to doubt my records and then claimed that my medical imaging showed no problems whatsoever. I returned home and now seem to have pneumonia in the top of my lungs around the vertebra that are known to have lesions (T1,T2,T3). I consider your service to be a fraud.

"We definitely would not have such a result
I did a similar operation 20 years ago in Germany - now it’s definitely better, now the postoperative period has been reduced to a day and it is less painful. The hospital is good, double ward and the conditions are comfortable. There is a shower in the room, it’s convenient. We spoke with Ralph Bull, a doctor before the operation. After the first consultation, there remained uncertainty whether to do the operation or not. In this regard, doctors are careful and if there is a risk of surgery with complications, they can offer injections and physiotherapy, which is cheaper and safer. Nevertheless, in my case, the doctor once again reviewed the MRI and decided to do the operation. Adequate treatment, do not inject too much, gave pain medication. In general, everything is fine, the postoperative period is small and everything is good so far. We definitely would not have such a result.
