Our Spectrum of Services
Medication-based Tumor Therapy/Chemotherapy
We provide the entire spectrum of medication-based tumor therapy:
- Chemotherapy with cytostatics, immunotherapeutics, targeted specialty medications such as antibody and signal transduction inhibitors
- Hormone treatments
- Bisphosphonates and other bone stabilizers (in cases of bone metastases)
- Transfusions of blood and platelets (erythrocyte and platelet concentrates)
For radiation therapy, high-dose chemotherapies, and stem cell transplants, we work in collaboration with local area hospitals.
Mistletoe Therapy
Mistletoe therapy is one of the most important complementary therapy approaches. Mistletoe preparations strengthen the body’s own defense mechanisms, reduce side effects of chemo and radiation therapy, and improve quality of life.

Hyperthermia
Our center provides moderate whole-body hyperthermia and localized deep tissue hyperthermia. Treatment with hyperthermia involves the targeted temperature elevation of the entire body or individual body parts. Through this process, the immune system is stimulated and cancer cells become more sensitive to chemo or radiation therapy.

Plant-based and Natural Therapies
We implement complementary and supporting medication from the vast arsenal of remedies from the field of homeopathy and anthroposophic medicine.
Orthomolecular Medicine
Orthomolecular medicine focuses on the targeted strengthening of physical recovery. This is primarily achieved through a balanced diet with additional nutrition depending on requirements, antioxidants, and micronutrients.

Psycho-oncology and Psycho-oncological Consultation
Any cancer diagnosis has a profound impact on one’s life. To support you in processing and conquering the disease as well as its effects on your soul and psyche, we provide psychotherapeutic sessions on an individual or group basis. We also offer biographical work.
Often, the following questions play a major role:
- What opportunities and personal resources do I have that could have a positive effect on the course of my disease?
- What self-supporting measures could I take during and after my treatment?
- What does this disease mean in the context of my entire life?

Anthroposophic Therapy Processes
External applications, rhythmic massage, healing eurhythmy, music therapy, painting and plastic arts therapy are also included in our available treatment services.
Pain Therapy
Cancer may be accompanied by pain. We therefore pay special attention to personalized and needs-based pain therapy. We use various pain medication in tablet or patch form or, if necessary, pain medication pumps or catheters.
Nutrition
During cancer treatment, a balanced diet based on patient requirements is very important to ensure a positive course of treatment. We provide consulting on all areas of nutrition and support you in the event your eating habits need to be modified.
