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.

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. The WPK Academy Central European Cancer Center brings together surgeons, oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists, and every case is discussed by an interdisciplinary tumour board before treatment begins. Care covers the full path from diagnosis to therapy, using:
- Minimally invasive and robotic surgery
- Radiotherapy
- Immunotherapy and chemotherapy
- Heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for tumours in the abdomen
The centre is especially strong in cancers of the:
- Breast, prostate and urinary tract
- Skin
- Lung
- Digestive organs
- Head and neck
- Gynaecological organs
- Bone and soft tissue
It is led by Prof. Christoph Zielinski, and its team includes cancer surgeons such as the thoracic surgeon Prof. Walter Klepetko.
Diagnosis and Early Detection
Diagnostics are gathered under one roof, so results are available quickly and without repeated appointments. Imaging includes MRI, CT, PET-CT and SPECT-CT, alongside endoscopy and molecular analysis. The clinic also offers liquid biopsy, a blood test that can detect signs of a tumour at an early stage.
Surgery and Other Specialities
Beyond oncology, the WPK covers:
- General and abdominal surgery
- Orthopaedics and traumatology
- Sports medicine
- Urology
- Gastroenterology and hepatology
- Cardiovascular medicine

The Millesi Center at the clinic focuses on peripheral nerve surgery, using microsurgery and supermicrosurgery. An on-site radiotherapy centre is run with Amethyst, and an aeromedical centre offers pilot fitness examinations. Patients can also request an independent second opinion.
Quality and Recognition
The Wiener Privatklinik is certified to ISO 9001:2015 by Quality Austria for its quality management, patient care and safety. It has been named one of the World's Best Hospitals by Newsweek and Statista for six years running, from 2021 to 2026, and was recognised by Deloitte as one of Austria's Best Managed Companies in 2025.
