Non-Surgical & Radiotherapy Options

• CyberKnife Radiosurgery: This robotic, non-invasive option delivers precise radiation. It typically requires 1-5 sessions with minimal recovery time.
• Gamma Knife Radiosurgery: Using focused cobalt-60 radiation, it targets tumors precisely in 1-2 sessions, protecting surrounding healthy tissue.
• Proton-Beam Therapy: This advanced radiotherapy uses protons to spare healthy tissue. A full course typically involves 20-35 daily sessions and may cost between €29,275 and €52,695.

Surgical Treatment Options

For cases requiring surgery, the clinic offers advanced techniques.

• Microscopic Tumor Removal: Surgeons use microsurgery with neuronavigation and intraoperative MRI. This allows for maximally safe resection with 3-5 days of hospitalization included.
• Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery: This is a minimally invasive approach. It accesses deep tumors through the nose, avoiding a craniotomy for a faster recovery.

A comprehensive surgical package covering the procedure, hospital stay, anesthesia, and follow-up rehabilitation may cost around €35,000–45,000. Patients interested in exploring these expert-led options can discuss their specific case with the clinic's international patient team.
