About the clinic

Thyroid cancer treatment at Städtisches Klinikum Solingen in Germany provides a full spectrum of modern care. Diagnostics may start from $118, radioiodine therapy costs around $8,500, and surgical procedures range from $14,000 to $17,600. The clinic is an academic teaching hospital certified by the German Cancer Society and offers cost-effective treatment, typically 10-20% lower than other German hospitals.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Process

Accurate diagnosis is the first critical step. The clinic uses advanced imaging and lab tests. The diagnostic options include:

  • Thyroid ultrasound, a primary screening tool
  • Scintigraphy, which typically costs $550–$766
  • Whole-body MRI for detailed imaging, priced around $800–$1,000
  • CT scans of the chest and abdomen, costing about $1,003
  • Blood tests and histological examination of tissue samples

Surgical Treatment Options

Prof. Andreas Sesterhenn leads the ENT and head and neck surgery department. He has over 11 years of experience and specializes in tissue-sparing tumor treatments. The appropriate surgery is chosen based on the cancer's stage and type. Available procedures include:

  • Thyroid resection to remove part of the gland. This costs around $14,154 and includes a 2-3 day hospital stay and pathology.
  • Thyroidectomy for complete gland removal. The price is typically between $14,154 and $17,693 and covers a 4-7 day hospital stay with aftercare.
  • Subtotal thyroidectomy, a near-total removal. This procedure may cost around $17,693 and also includes hospitalization and follow-up care.

All surgical packages cover the operation, anesthesia, and standard hospital care.

Non-Surgical Therapy

For certain thyroid cancers, radioactive iodine treatment is used. Radioiodine therapy is administered after surgery to eliminate any remaining thyroid cells. This treatment may cost between $8,257 and $8,846. The price includes the radioactive iodine treatment itself and the required hospital stay.

The clinic provides a complete care pathway from initial scan to postoperative therapy. To explore these thyroid cancer treatment options, patients can request a consultation.

My family and I travelled from Ireland in December for brain surgery as I had suffered for 14 years with epilepsy as a result of a cavernoma. I had been to many doctors and hospitals in Ireland for many years looking to have this surgery as it caused me huge problems throughout my life, I could no longer play sports, go out and socialise with friends and do everyday activities without having minor or big seizures. It affected me terribly last year when it occured on a daily basis. I was lucky enough to speak to Dr Ralf Buhl by chance over a phone call and from the first second, I felt reassured and for the first time ever I felt like this could be rectified through surgery. He spoke with myself and my family and was able to advise he could operate within weeks. We arrived at Solingen, we met face to face and he sat and talked with my family and I for as long as we needed to ask questions and feel comfortable. Within two days of arrival, I had my surgery. I arrived expecting to be home in one to two months with a long journey to recovery, but such is the quality of Dr Buhl and his incredible team, I was home in Ireland only one week later, walking, talking and once again able to enjoy life in peace for the first time in many years. From the day I arrived, to the day I left, Dr Buhl checked in with me personally, and my family to check on my well-being both physically and mentally, always giving advice and answering questions. I would recommend Dr Ralf Buhl and his team to anyone, my close family and friends or strangers alike, who suffers with cavernoma issues or anything similar to this. Where I saw no way of being helped in my own country and elsewhere in 14 years, Dr Buhl took only days. I can't recommend nor thank this man enough, thank you for changing my life, and my family's lives forever.

My best friend had her baby in this hospital and was extremely unhappy! The nurses in the baby and delivery ward were extremely unfriendly and yelled at her, the baby's father, and me several times, even in front of the sleeping baby and shortly after the birth! She never wants to come back and doesn't recommend coming here for delivery! 0 stars!!!
