Cancer treatment in Austria
Cancer research has a very high priority and a long tradition in Austria. Austria is one of the countries with very good opportunities for cancer patients - in terms of survival rates, Austria ranks among the top 5 countries internationally. This is due to the very good availability of new methods and modern medications, as well as the good infrastructure of the hospitals.
Comprehensive Cancer Care Vienna
Our center represents a network of top specialists and leading institutes in Vienna treating patients with cancer at a high academic level. Many of our specialists have international experience and are involved in pioneering scientific studies in the field of cancer research. This makes it possible to quickly implement new scientific findings in clinical practice.
Our mission is to give patients with a cancer diagnosis rapid access to teams of leading experts in oncology. We aim at providing patients with clarity about their disease and the most suitable treatment options.
Comprehensive describes a multidisciplinary approach to cancer care. We serve as a central hub for all our patients' needs. We offer a full spectrum of services, including screening and prevention, diagnosis, treatment of the cancer disease and all related complaints.
Treatment success that is possible today can only be achieved through close cooperation between the expertise of all disciplines involved, such as oncology, radiology, surgery, pathology, radiation oncology, and their systematic collaboration in regular „tumor board“ meetings.
Tailor-made cancer treatment
The backbones of cancer treatment are still surgery, radiation therapy and medical cancer therapy.
In the field of medical treatment, however, treatment options have expanded significantly in recent years: new medications in the field of immunotherapy and so-called targeted medications are available to us. These act specifically against tumor cell structures that play a central role in tumor growth.
Second opinion
Our center offers patients the opportunity to have a diagnosis checked based on current findings, as well as a second histopathological diagnosis of the tumor tissue with a precise classification of the tumor. All findings are assessed and treatment recommendations are made by a recognized team of experts.
Prevention
If detected early, cancer is curable in most cases.
Development of cancer cannot always be prevented through a healthy lifestyle alone.
That's why preventive examinations are so important in order to detect precancerous lesions or cancer in the early stages and to be able to treat them well.
More and more patients can be cured
New options in diagnosis and therapy offer cancer patients significantly better chances of recovery than 10 years ago. More and more patients are benefiting from individually tailored and highly efficient cancer therapies.
In an increasing number of cases where a cure cannot be achieved, cancer can be transformed into a chronic disease that allows a good quality of life. These patients require comprehensive, long-term and continuous care.
