95,000 patients get treatment annually here.

CDT-WEST is a specialized diagnostic radiology and therapy center in Cologne (Germany).

Specialists conduct health check using the latest CT, MRI, and PET-CT (positron emission tomography) devices.

Radiation therapists carry out such modern techniques as IMRT (intensity-modulated radiotherapy), IGRT (image-guided radiation therapy), DIBH (deep inspiration breath hold radiation therapy). These methods allow treating tumors located close to vital organs safely and effectively.

The North Rhine-Westphalia Association includes 5 hospitals located not far from Düsseldorf (Germany).

Doctors of the network conduct treatment in 27 specialties. The strongest are oncology, robotic surgery, orthopedics, cardiology, urology, and gynecology.

The Heart Center of the Association is the largest in Germany. It is the place where pilots of civil aviation undergo heart check-ups.

Charité is known for its own scientific researches. The Clinic is one of the largest clinics in Europe therefore approximately 128,000 of patients come here for treatment annualy. The fight against cancer in the Department of Neurosurgery at Charité combines two or three methods of treatment of this disease depending on case complexity. Thus, an individual treatment plan will be drawn up for you:

• Open-type neurosurgery – craniotomy. This is a high-accuracy work on full or partial excision of the tumor;
• Transnasal endoscopic surgery – the excision of pituitary tumors via endoscopic instruments introduced into the cranial cavity through the sinuses;
• Intrathecal chemotherapy – the introduction of chemotherapeutic agent into the spinal liquor via lumbar puncture, is used after surgery for prolongation of the remission term as well as for metastases from other organs;
• The gold standard of treatment of brain cancer is a minimally invasive stereotactic radiosurgery by means of CyberKnife G4, robotic system Leksell Gamma Knife®. These radiosurgical methods allow to destroy the tumor without incisions and craniotomy thanks to the high-ionizing radiation;
• Proton therapy is a type of radiation therapy, in which the destruction of the tumor is performed through the stream of accelerated ionized particles.
