Rectal Cancer

In rectal cancer, success depends on correct sequencing. Our multidisciplinary oncology council determines the order of surgery and chemoradiotherapy around your tumor's stage.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Multidisciplinary Oncology Council

Treatment sequence is critical; the order of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, surgery and chemotherapy is set by the oncology board.

Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy

Radiotherapy with TrueBeam LINAC plus chemotherapy before surgery; shrinks the tumor and strengthens local control.

Robotic TME / Low Anterior Resection

Da Vinci robotic surgery performs TME with precision in the narrow pelvis; nerve-sparing approach preserves function.

Sphincter-preserving Surgery

In every feasible case, the goal is preserving the anal sphincter and natural bowel passage, avoiding permanent colostomy.

Watch-and-Wait in Complete Responders

In selected patients with a complete response to neoadjuvant therapy, an organ-preserving surveillance approach is considered.

High-resolution MR Staging & World-renowned Staff

Precise staging with pelvic MRI; visa, transfer and medical 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.

Staging
Staging — High-resolution pelvic MR, PET-CT and molecular pathology clarify the tumor’s distance from the anus and its stage.
Council
Council Review — The multidisciplinary oncology council determines the sequence: neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy first, or direct surgery.
Plan & Offer
Personalized Plan & Transparent Offer — A plan and price offer covering neoadjuvant therapy, robotic TME surgery and all diagnostic steps is presented.
Treatment & Follow-up
Treatment, Reassessment & Follow-up — Treatment is delivered; neoadjuvant response is reassessed (watch-and-wait may be considered in complete responders); then regular surveillance and tele-oncology continue.
