About the clinic
Colon cancer treatment at Wiener Privatklinik (WPK) in Vienna, Austria, combines surgical precision with molecular diagnostics. An oncologist consultation typically costs around $400–$500, while diagnostic imaging such as an MRI of one area is around $600–$700 and a PET-MRI may cost around $1,800–$3,500. The clinic is recognized as one of the Newsweek World's Best Hospitals and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for its medical standards.
The WPK Academy Central European Cancer Center manages every case through an interdisciplinary tumor board. This group of specialists reviews patient data before treatment begins to select the most effective path. Surgical care is led by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Harald Rosen, a specialist in colorectal and abdominal surgery who operates within the academy cancer center.
Diagnostic options for colon cancer
The clinic uses advanced imaging and laboratory tests to determine the exact stage and genetic makeup of the tumor. These tools help doctors choose between standard therapies and newer immunotherapy options.
- Oncologist consultation. A meeting with a specialist to review medical history and plan next steps.
- PET-MRI and PET-CT. High-resolution imaging that detects cancer cells and their activity in the body.
- Liquid biopsy. A blood test used for molecular analysis to identify tumor markers without invasive tissue sampling.
- Colonoscopy. A direct visual examination of the colon used for both screening and biopsy.
- Imaging suite. Access to CT, SPECT-CT, and MRI of specific areas for precise tumor localization.
Advanced treatment methods
The hospital focuses on minimally invasive techniques to remove tumors while sparing healthy tissue. The on-site Amethyst radiotherapy center provides targeted radiation for localized tumor control.
- Colorectal cancer surgery. Surgeons use robotic-assisted and laparoscopic resections to remove tumors. This approach results in smaller incisions and shorter recovery times.
- HIPEC therapy. This method involves heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy. It treats advanced cancer that has spread to the abdominal lining by applying warm drugs directly to the area during surgery.
- Chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The multidisciplinary team coordinates systemic drug therapies tailored to the patient's genetic profile.
- Targeted radiotherapy. Specialized radiation plans are created at the Amethyst center to destroy cancer cells with high precision.
International patients at Wiener Privatklinik receive support throughout their stay. The clinic provides airport transfers, interpreters, and assistance with hotel bookings. You can leave a request on Bookimed to receive a personalized evaluation of your medical case.

Wiener Privatklinik (WPK): more details about the clinic
Austria, Vienna
The Wiener Privatklinik (WPK) is a private hospital in the university quarter of Vienna, Austria, next to the Vienna General Hospital and the Medical University of Vienna. Founded in 1871 and led since 1995 by a group of physicians, it works with more than 300 recognised doctors across over 30 specialities, and around 45 percent of its patients come from more than 20 countries. The clinic has 145 beds, seven wards and its own operating theatres, combining hospital medicine with a hotel standard of care.
Central European Cancer Center
Oncology is the clinic's central focus.

- Heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for tumours in the abdomen
The centre is especially strong in cancers of the:
- Breast, prostate and urinary tract

It is led by Prof. Christoph Zielinski, and its team includes cancer surgeons such as the thoracic surgeon Prof. Walter Klepetko.
