About the clinic
Sarcoma treatment at Wiener Privatklinik (WPK) in Vienna, Austria, is managed by the Central European Cancer Center, which specializes in bone and soft tissue tumors. A consultation with an orthopedic oncologist may cost around $200–$300, while advanced diagnostics like a PET-MRI typically run $1,800–$3,500. The facility is recognized as a Newsweek World’s Best Hospital and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for its medical standards.
The oncology department is led by Prof. Rainer Kotz, a specialist in orthopedic oncology and pediatric surgery. Prof. Rainer Kotz brings over 55 years of experience to the treatment of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. Every patient case undergoes review by an interdisciplinary tumor board to create a personalized medical plan.
Diagnostics for sarcoma
The clinic provides a range of imaging and laboratory tests to identify tumor types and stages. Modern techniques like liquid biopsy are available for early detection and monitoring. Diagnostic services include:
- Orthopedic oncology consultation. A session with Prof. Rainer Kotz costs around $200–$300.
- Oncologist consultation. A general oncology meeting is around $400–$500.
- MRI of one area. This imaging scan may cost around $600–$700.
- PET-MRI. Advanced whole-body imaging is around $1,800–$3,500.
- Additional scans. The center also offers CT, PET-CT, and SPECT-CT imaging.
Treatment methods and surgery
Wiener Privatklinik uses surgical, radiation, and systemic therapies to treat sarcomas. The hospital uses robotic and laparoscopic systems to perform minimally invasive tumor removals. These methods help reduce trauma to surrounding tissues and can shorten the recovery period.
For abdominal tumors, the clinic offers HIPEC, which is heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy. This procedure involves applying warmed anti-cancer drugs directly into the abdominal cavity during surgery. The on-site Amethyst Radiotherapy Center provides targeted radiation treatments for both inpatient and outpatient cases.
Systemic options include chemotherapy and immunotherapy tailored to the specific genetic profile of the sarcoma. The clinic also provides international patient services, including transfers and interpreters, to support patients during their stay. You can request a consultation for sarcoma treatment at Wiener Privatklinik through the Bookimed platform.
