My name is Sergey, I am undergoing treatment at the oncology department of the Nordwest Clinic in Frankfurt am Main. I would like to note the high professional level of doctors, the technical equipment of the clinic at the proper level. I want to express special gratitude to Professor Elka Yeager, senior doctor Kiselichki, Dr. Weber, the highest level of professionalism, are very friendly and attentive, the junior staff are smart, everything is super, I’m very pleased with the treatment, if not for one “but” ... Because of ignorance language had to contact the company "Phoenix Service", which is an intermediary for the provision of medical services, led by Radislav. My communication with them began with the fact that before arrival they demanded a significant prepayment, which was timely transferred to their account. After arriving at the clinic, I had to transfer money several times, rather big money. I persistently asked the company’s employees to conclude an agreement with me on the provision of services by Phoenix Service, in order to specifically understand which services and for what specific payment the services will be provided. However, no contracts, as well as invoices with prices, were provided to me, which directly testifies to dishonesty. Only two months later I received the clinic’s bills (with which I completely agree) and separately a bill from Phoenix Service for the services rendered, after viewing which there were simply no words ... As it turned out, being treated in Germany was not expensive, it was expensive to pay for the services of Phoenix invoiced, which either didn’t turn out at all, or turned out to be in the wrong amount and at very high prices. I tried to talk with the head of the company Radislav, saying that I did not agree with the bill, to which I received the answer "if something does not suit you, you can refuse our services further." I officially wrote an appeal to the clinic about the detachment from this dishonest company, to which I received a positive response. He also wrote an official letter to Phoenix with a request to review the account, to which he still has not received an answer. I want to warn everyone who is in my position, those cancer patients who sell everything in order to pay for treatment and live on, but these “phoenixes” don’t stop at anything to enrich themselves at their expense.

We thank Professor Gross for the difficult and very difficult operation. We are sure that in the CIS, and in many European clinics, Alexander would not come out of intensive care. Professor - the golden hands. Also thanks to the guys accompanying us as translators, Vladimir and Lydia. Moral support and qualified medical translation they provided completely. Also thanks to all employees of the Asklepios polyclinic, our two-week stay in the room of increased comfort and a week-long stay of Alexander in the intensive care unit, although it was not easy, but the staff did everything to help and facilitate the rehabilitation period. Very home furnishings and not fake care.

Doctor with a capital letter After a long rush about doctors, I finally found Professor Schels - not just a world specialist, but also a sympathetic person who attentively and thoughtfully listened to my whole story, looked at the extracts and appointed additional examinations. All diagnostics took place extremely quickly and clearly. The prescribed treatment of Professor Scheels is working, this is the most important thing. Special thanks to the accompanying Vladimir for the clear translation and help in resolving all issues.

Very quick and clear consultation of Bookimed coordinators. For several hours, they helped organize a consultation at the clinic and lure the flight. A transfer from the airport to the city was also organized. In the clinic, with the help of coordinators, a consultation with explanations was successfully held, diagnostics were carried out, and the treatment process started. Very good attitude of doctors.

We are discharging from the hospital, we will keep in touch with this doctor. The procedures go terribly, there is no specific treatment prescribed yet, there is no diagnosis. Besides the fact that my daughter eats, has lunch, has dinner as in a usual sanatorium, they just rip off 600-700 euros per night - a lot of money when you don’t see the result, why stay, just overnight to pay money. I am not happy with the visit.

FAQ about Tongue cancer Treatment in Germany

Why do patients choose foreign clinics for the treatment of tongue cancer?

The main method of treating tongue cancer in domestic hospitals is partial or complete removal of the organ. Abroad, specialists use laser and ultrasound, which preserve the tissues of the tongue as much as possible. If surgery is indicated, foreign doctors perform a partial removal of the organ with its subsequent restoration.

How to choose a clinic for the diagnosis and treatment of tongue cancer?

When choosing a medical institution, pay attention to:

  • qualification of an ENT oncologist;
  • methods of treatment used by clinic specialists;
  • accreditations and certificates of the department where tongue cancer is treated.

Tongue Cancer Diagnosis

Comprehensive diagnosis of tongue cancer includes:

  • biopsy - sampling of neoplasm tissue for analysis;
  • histology - a laboratory study of a tumor, which determines its malignancy;
  • Chest CT - detects metastases in the lungs;
  • positron emission computed tomography (PET-CT) - determines the prevalence of the tumor in the body.

Treatment Methods

Removal of the tumor

  • Non-surgical removal

Intervention is indicated for patients with tumors up to 4 cm. Doctors excise the tumor with a laser or ultrasound.

Advantages: unlike other methods, the procedure preserves healthy tissues as much as possible.

Disadvantages: Large neoplasms cannot be removed with laser and ultrasound.

  • Glossectomy

This is a partial or complete removal of the language. Surgeons perform interventions for tumors larger than 4 cm.

Advantages: during the operation, surgeons excise large neoplasms.

Disadvantages: the procedure causes organ dysfunction. After a glossectomy, it is necessary to carry out the reconstruction of the tongue.

Radiation therapy

Types of radiation therapy for tongue cancer:

  • therapeutic - destroys small tumors without surgical intervention;
  • neoadjuvant - reduces the neoplasm before its removal;
  • adjuvant - affects the pathological cells that remain after the operation;
  • palliative - stops tumor growth and reduces symptoms in the last stages.

Chemotherapy

Types of chemistry for tongue cancer:

  • therapeutic - destroys small tumors without surgery;
  • induction - reduces neoplasms before surgery;
  • adjuvant - destroys malignant cells that have not been removed;
  • palliative - improves the quality of life in the last stages.

In most cases, doctors do chemotherapy along with radiation therapy.

Duration of treatment

The duration of treatment depends on the prescribed procedures. Surgery for tongue cancer takes 1 to 4 hours. Depending on the extent of the intervention, the patient stays in the clinic for 1-14 days. Radiation therapy lasts from 1 to 7 weeks, chemotherapy - up to 6 months.

Stages of treatment

  1. The patient comes to the medical facility for a consultation. An ENT oncologist studies the medical history, the results of previous tests, if necessary, sends for an additional examination.
  2. The patient undergoes procedures prescribed by a specialist.
  3. An ENT oncologist selects the most effective treatment for tongue cancer and makes predictions.

How is the treatment going?

Removal of the tumor

Depending on the size of the neoplasm, the doctor removes it with a laser, ultrasonic scissors, or with a scalpel.

After traditional surgery, a reconstructive plastic surgeon reconstructs the tongue with a skin flap. He takes the material for the procedure from the chest, thigh, forearm or back of the patient.

Radiation therapy

Radiation oncologists perform irradiation by the following methods:

  • remote - using a linear accelerator. Specialists perform an MRI, which accurately determines the location of the tumor. After that, they set the intensity and direction of the beam to the linear accelerator. The device accurately affects the affected tissues without damaging healthy ones.
  • Contact (brachytherapy) – specialists using needles for 1 week granules with radioactive material are placed in the tumor. The substance destroys pathological cells and does not harm the entire body.

Life after tongue cancer

Surgical treatment of tongue cancer can impair its function. Therefore, speech therapists work with patients - they help restore the functioning of the organ.

Questions about tongue cancer treatment

  • Can stage 4 tongue cancer be cured?

In the last stages, palliative treatment is indicated, which reduces symptoms and improves quality of life.

  • Is it necessary to come to the clinic for a consultation?

We can arrange a remote consultation. Learn more about this from your Bookimed medical coordinator.
