Treatment methods and surgery
Prof. Dr. Boris Pfaffenbach leads the department of gastroenterology and gastrointestinal oncology. He has over 35 years of experience and has supervised 9,000+ interventions. Under his direction, the center provides several ways to treat small intestine cancer.
- Small intestine resection. This surgery removes the tumor and affected bowel segments. Surgeons use open methods or the Da Vinci Xi robotic system for minimally invasive procedures.
- Chemotherapy. Doctors use systemic drugs to shrink tumors before surgery or kill remaining cells afterward. The clinic offers both mono-chemotherapy and combined protocols.
- Endoscopic tumor treatment. For early-stage cases, specialists perform mucosal resection or use the FTRD system for full-wall resection without large cuts.
- Radiotherapy. The radio-oncology department provides targeted radiation to destroy cancer cells in the abdominal cavity.
