Precision Tumor Treatment for More Than 20 Years
For more than two decades, we have been committed to state-of-the-art radiosurgery — advanced precision technologies for the highly targeted, tissue-sparing treatment of a broad spectrum of tumors, ranging from benign neoplasms to serious malignant disease. Every year, more than 1,000 patients place their trust in the European Radiosurgery Center Munich (ERCM) as they pursue an individually tailored treatment strategy.
Our goal is clear: to provide you with the best possible treatment while achieving a sustained improvement in your quality of life.
Discover the benefits of modern radiosurgery and contact us — our team is here for you.
At ERCM, the patient is at the center of everything we do. A tumor diagnosis is often accompanied by uncertainty, unanswered questions, concern, and anxiety. We understand the challenges you are facing. Our many years of clinical experience are complemented by genuine respect, empathy, and personal attention. To ensure that you receive both optimal medical care and appropriate emotional support, ERCM provides individualized care designed to offer reassurance and confidence — combining medical excellence with genuine human compassion.
Every tumor treatment is tailored to your individual situation. We answer your questions clearly and comprehensibly — without unnecessary medical jargon.
Our corporate brochure offers an introduction to our center, our team, and the services we provide.
You can conveniently view the brochure online as a PDF or download it directly.
We provide personal, individualized care and are available to you five days a week.
Our physicians explain every stage of your treatment clearly and step by step.
Throughout your entire treatment journey, you are cared for by a highly qualified clinical team.
We keep waiting times to a minimum — the interval from initial contact to the start of treatment is approximately two weeks.
You receive expert medical care in a calm, comfortable, and welcoming environment.
Modern radiosurgery enables us to treat benign and malignant tumors with exceptional precision while minimizing the impact on surrounding healthy tissue — without the need for surgery. Advanced technologies such as CyberKnife and ZAP-X allow tumor tissue to be ablated with the highest degree of precision while maximizing the protection of adjacent healthy structures.
An intelligent robotic system continuously compensates for natural organ motion and changes in patient position, enabling highly accurate targeting throughout treatment. Treatment is performed with you resting comfortably and, in many cases, requires only a singlesession.
Following treatment, you can usually return home immediately and resume your normal daily activities. We would be pleased to discuss with you personally whether the advanced techniques of modern radiosurgery are appropriate for your individual clinical situation.
Short treatment duration
In most cases, only a single treatment session lasting approximately 15 to 30 minutes is required.
Painless
You rest comfortably on the treatment couch while the precision robotic system moves around you.
No anesthesia
Neither general nor local anesthesia is required — you remain awake and responsive throughout treatment.
No surgical risks
Because the treatment is non-invasive, the risks and complications associated with a surgical procedure are avoided.
No or only minimal side effects
Side effects are uncommon and, when they do occur, are generally temporary and resolve completely.
No inpatient hospital stay
You can return home immediately after treatment and resume your usual daily routine.
As a first step, we carefully assess whether radiosurgical treatment is appropriate in your individual case. To do so, we review all available medical findings and existing imaging studies, including CT, MRI, and PET/CT. If CyberKnife or ZAP-X treatment is a suitable option for you, we arrange a personal consultation without delay.
Together, we review your diagnosis and the available treatment options step by step and address all outstanding questions.
Transparency is of paramount importance to us throughout this process.
Meticulous treatment preparation is an essential prerequisite for therapeutic success. Based on your individual clinical situation and using state-of-the-art technology, we develop the treatment plan best suited to your needs.
Radiosurgical treatment with the precision robotic system is painless and non-invasive. You rest comfortably on the treatment couch in a relaxed environment and may remain in your normal clothing.
A treatment session lasts an average of 15 to 30 minutes.
After treatment, we conduct a comprehensive final consultation. You receive detailed recommendations for follow-up care and remain in close contact with our team. Your well-being and quality of life remain our focus — even after your treatment has been completed.
Every tumor requires an individualized treatment strategy. Whether the diagnosis is a benign neoplasm or a serious malignant disease, radiosurgical treatment using innovative CyberKnife or ZAP-X technology can, for selected conditions, provide an effective and tissue-sparing alternative to surgery or conventional radiotherapy.
Every tumor treatment performed at ERCM combines the highest standards of medical precision with maximum patient comfort.
Depending on factors such as tumor size and location, renal malignancies and adrenal metastases can often be effectively treated using modern radiosurgery.
CyberKnife treatment can be used for lung cancer, particularly in early-stage disease (T1 and T2), as well as for selected patients with a limited number of small pulmonary metastases.
Primary liver tumors and, in particular, hepatic metastases have been successfully treated with CyberKnife for many years in appropriately selected patients.
In selected clinical situations, benign and malignant spinal tumors are suitable indications for high-precision treatment with CyberKnife.
Selected prostate cancers can be effectively treated with CyberKnife as an alternative to surgery or conventional radiotherapy.
A broad spectrum of benign and malignant intracranial tumors can be treated using CyberKnife or ZAP-X technology.
Selected isolated lymph node metastases can be effectively treated with radiosurgery in a variety of clinical settings.
Our patients value the comprehensive information we provide, the personal support they receive throughout treatment, and the empathy and respect that characterize care at ERCM. What else they appreciate about us — and how they feel following CyberKnife or ZAP-X treatment — is best described in their own words.
