Chordoma diagnostics in Berlin
Imaging and lab tests help assess the tumor and map the area for radiation planning. Available tests include:
- CT scans: Standard CT, chest, abdominal and pelvic CT, and whole-body CT are available. Each listed CT option is around $600.
- PET-CT with 18F-FET: This scan supports skull-base tumor mapping before radiotherapy.
- Planning CT: Maps the radiation volume for treatment planning.
- Whole-body skeletal scintigraphy: Imaging of the bones is available.
- Other tests: Abdominal ultrasound, gastroscopy with biopsy, extended biochemical blood analysis, and CRP testing.
Radiation treatments for chordoma
The clinic offers external-beam, stereotactic, and combined radiation approaches. Treatment prices are quoted case by case, and no fixed treatment price is listed.
- Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT): The Varian Halcyon system delivers image-guided radiation each day. Adaptive planning follows changes in tumor size, while radiation planning and daily team reviews are included.
- Stereotactic radiosurgery: This non-invasive method delivers a focused, high dose in one session. It is listed for localized brain and skull-base tumors.
- CyberKnife radiosurgery: Robotic, image-guided treatment targets localized malignancies without a frame or incision.
- Radiochemotherapy: Radiation is combined with mild chemotherapy for locally advanced tumors.
Prof. Dr. S. Marnitz trained at Charité Berlin and University Hospital Essen. His memberships include ESTRO, ASTRO, and EORTC. The clinic lists ASCO among its accreditations.
Before each session, the OPASCA Safety Suite uses biometric recognition to check patient identity. The clinic describes this as the first use of the system in Germany. A 24/7 inpatient partnership with nearby MEO Clinic is also available. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

RadioOnkologie im Vosspalais: more details about the clinic
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.
