Spinal Tumors

In spinal and spinal cord tumors, treatment is planned by a board. Our neuro-oncology council sequences surgery, stabilization, spinal SBRT and drug therapy specifically for you.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Multidisciplinary Neuro-Oncology Council

Spine/neurosurgeon, radiation oncologist, medical oncologist, radiologist and pathologist jointly assess neurological function and spinal stability.

Spinal SBRT with TrueBeam LINAC

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) delivers a high, millimetrically focused dose to the spinal lesion while sparing the cord.

Spinal Stabilization and Decompression

Spinal integrity disrupted by the tumor is restored with instrumentation; cord compression is relieved by decompression.

Nerve- and Function-Preserving Microsurgery

In intradural and intramedullary tumors, neuromonitoring and neuronavigation aim to preserve walking, sensation and sphincter function.

Advanced Imaging and Intraoperative Neuromonitoring

Multiparametric MRI, PET-CT and intraoperative neuromonitoring help preserve surgical safety and function.

Internationally Recognized Team and Patient Support

A high-volume spine and neuro-oncology team; visa, transfer and interpreter support for international patients.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.
