Esophageal and stomach cancer

At the Vienna Private Clinic, the treatment of oesophageal and stomach cancer is carried out in a highly specialized, interdisciplinary setting. Each therapy is determined individually as part of a specialized tumour board – with close cooperation between oncological surgery, radiology, gastroenterology, oncology and radiotherapy. In most cases, minimally invasive surgical methods are used – i.e. particularly gentle procedures using the keyhole technique.
A lot has also happened in diagnostics: modern endoscopy procedures, high-resolution endoscopy and innovative radiological imaging enable a more precise assessment and optimal treatment planning.

“As with many other tumor diseases, it is very important that each individual patient case is discussed in a specialized tumor board – and then treated in an interdisciplinary team. This is the only way to achieve the best results for patients.” – Dr. Sebastian F. Schoppmann, Professor of Oncological Surgery at the Medical University of Vienna
