RadioOnkologie im Vosspalais is a private radiation oncology practice in Berlin Mitte, Germany. The clinic specializes in radiotherapy for breast, prostate, lung, and gynecological cancers. It uses biometric recognition before every session to prevent treatment mix-ups. The practice opened in 2022. Its medical team is led by professors trained at Charité Berlin and University Hospital Essen.

Prof. Dr. med. S. Marnitz brings over 20 years of experience to the practice. The facility holds ASCO accreditation. The team uses the Varian Halcyon system and intensity-modulated radiotherapy. For lung and breast tumors, they apply Ambient Lightning technology. This surface detection system stops radiation if the patient's breathing phase shifts. International patients get help with visas, flights, and hotel bookings.
