Chondrosarcoma Treatment in RadioOnkologie im Vosspalais
About the clinic
Chondrosarcoma care at RadioOnkologie im Vosspalais in Berlin includes imaging and radiation therapy. The ASCO-accredited practice is led by Prof. Dr. Marnitz, a radiation oncologist with over 20 years of experience. CT, chest, abdominal and pelvic CT, and whole-body CT are each around $600.
Tests for chondrosarcoma
Imaging helps assess the tumor and map areas for radiation treatment. Available tests include:
- CT scans: Standard CT, chest, abdominal and pelvic CT, and whole-body CT are available.
- Planning CT: Maps the area to be treated with radiation.
- PET-CT with 18F-FET: Uses metabolic imaging as part of bone-tumor staging.
- Whole-body skeletal scintigraphy: Images the skeleton.
- Other tests: Abdominal ultrasound, gastroscopy with biopsy, and extended blood tests with CRP are available.
Radiation and combined treatment options
Prof. Dr. Marnitz formerly directed clinics at Charité Berlin and Cologne University Hospital. He advises the French Cancer Institute and the German Joint Federal Committee on proton therapy. His memberships include ESTRO, ASTRO, EORTC, and ASCO.
- Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT): Daily image guidance on the Varian Halcyon system checks treatment positioning. Adaptive planning adjusts the treatment volume as the tumor shrinks.
- Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT): Imaging before each session checks the radiation field position to help target the tumor and limit exposure to healthy organs.
- Stereotactic radiosurgery (CyberKnife): Delivers focused, high-dose radiation without an operation for localized lesions.
- Radiochemotherapy: Radiation is coordinated with chemotherapy or immunotherapy by partner specialists.
Planning and patient support
The OPASCA Safety Suite uses biometric checks before each session. Ambient Lightning tracks the body surface to guide breathing during treatment. Patients can manage appointments and send post-session feedback through a companion app.
Online consultations are available before travel to Berlin. The clinic supports visa, flight, and hotel arrangements, and partners with MEO Clinic for 24/7 inpatient admission. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

Accreditations and Professional Background
The clinic holds accreditation from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). Its medical team includes board-certified specialists and professors. Prof. Dr. med. S. Marnitz leads the team with around 20 years of experience in radiation oncology.
Physicians at the clinic trained at recognized German institutions:
- Charité University Hospital in Berlin
- Humboldt University in Berlin
- University Hospital Essen
The doctors hold memberships in major international organizations, including ESTRO, ASTRO, and EORTC. Prof. Marnitz also advises the French Cancer Institute and the German Joint Federal Committee on proton therapy.
Specialized Oncology and Radiotherapy
The practice treats all cancers requiring radiation, including breast, prostate, lung, and brain tumors. The team uses Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) to deliver precise doses while sparing surrounding tissues. Specialists adjust the radiation volume as tumors shrink during treatment.
For breast and lung tumors, the clinic uses the Ambient Lightning technique. This system monitors breathing phases during deep inspiration breath-hold through surface detection. Room lights change color to give patients immediate feedback. If the breathing phase isn't ideal, the device automatically stops to protect healthy organs.
Specialists also provide focused treatments for various conditions:
- Stereotactic radiosurgery for localized lung and brain tumors
- Brachytherapy for prostate cancer
- Radiochemotherapy for locally advanced esophageal and cervical cancers
- CyberKnife treatments for prostate and lung malignancies
The clinic coordinates closely with partners when patients need combined hormone therapy or chemotherapy.
Safety Systems and Advanced Technology
The practice is built around the OPASCA Safety Suite for high accuracy and patient orientation. Upon arrival, patients register at a Welcome-Terminal and receive a numeric pass. This number-based system keeps all corridor monitor displays discreet. Screens guide patients directly to the planning CT, radiation device, or consultation rooms.
Security protocols include biometric recognition before every session. This step makes patient mix-ups impossible. The therapy area also has camera surveillance and a communication system, so patients and companions can speak via screen and sound during procedures.
A dedicated Companion App supports patients throughout treatment. It handles appointment management, side-effect information, and direct feedback after sessions.
Diagnostic Capabilities
The clinic performs essential oncological diagnostics to create precise treatment plans. Available imaging and tests include:
- PET-CT with 18F-FET for advanced metabolic imaging
- Planning CT for radiation volume mapping
- Whole-body skeletal scintigraphy
- Abdominal ultrasonography and gastroscopy with biopsy
- Extended biochemical blood analysis and CRP testing
These tools help determine exact tumor stage and lymph node involvement before starting therapy.
Services for International Patients
International patients receive full logistical support, including visa organization and flight booking assistance. The practice coordinates hotel accommodations for patients and family members. While the practice is an outpatient clinic, it partners with the nearby MEO Clinic for 24/7 inpatient admission. Patients who prefer hospital care during radiotherapy can stay there. Online consultations are available to discuss treatment options before traveling to Berlin.
