The Tumour Board at Wiener Privatklinik consists of a group of doctors and specialists from various disciplines who meet regularly to discuss cancer cases and exchange knowledge.
The goal and mission of the board is clearly defined and internalised by all members:
To provide the best possible cancer care for patients at WPK as well as to contribute decisively with fresh perspectives from different fields to create the most consistent and thorough treatment plan possible.
The committee usually includes doctors such as pathologists, surgeons and oncologists, but depending on the case, other experts such as plastic surgeons, gynaecologists or urologists also take part in the meetings.
An important contribution also comes from the specialists at the in-house radiology centre, who collect and evaluate a wide range of information that influences the diagnosis and treatment.
A wide range of other healthcare providers, including nurses and assistants, may also be involved. While the medical record contains detailed clinical data, this information is never shared with other parties to ensure absolute privacy and confidentiality.
Medicine is entering the era of personalised approaches that tailor treatment based on patient- and disease-specific factors.
In this new era of personalised medicine, precision diagnostics is the first phase, aiming to identify specific information, generate comprehensive insights and integrate data from all areas involved to achieve medical and operational efficiency.
At Wiener Privatklinik, our top priority is to bring together all clinical skills to identify and address individual needs. With our patient-centred approach to diagnosis and treatment, we combine all available information and knowledge to create precision diagnoses that lead to targeted therapies with predictable outcomes for our patients.
This precise diagnosis sets a clear path for our patients’ journey, starting with a general assessment, monitoring, treatment and also follow-up assessment. This ensures an improved and optimised patient experience as well as better health outcomes and treatment results.
If you are unsure about your current medical recommendations or want to find out if there is a better option for you to pursue, come to us for a second opinion. An objective assessment of your past medical records by our team of top specialists will ensure that you are properly diagnosed and receive the best possible treatment for your current situation.
The aim of immuno-oncological therapies is to activate the cancer patient’s immune system and to enable the system to recognise and destroy tumour cells through this process. Immuno-oncological agents have been approved for a whole range of cancers as part of the treatment revolution. The impressive result of studies on immuno-oncological therapies: Immuno-therapies are extremely effective over long periods of time! These are groundbreaking results and innovative features that raise hope for patients for a long life with a high quality of life. Until now, prognoses have been incredibly limited!
The team at the Cancer Centre of the WPK Academy consists of the best experts in their field throughout Europe. They constantly and carefully monitor the progress of treatment and counteract possible side effects before they develop. Treatment plans are completely customised and treatment options vary accordingly. The WPK offers a wide range of treatment options from standard chemotherapy and surgery to revolutionary personalised cancer treatments and immuno-oncology agents.
Thanks to the latest developments in the field of molecular medicine, researchers and experts are finding and defining new targets every year. These targets are achieved by constantly testing and optimising targeted drugs based on the results.
In fact, almost all patients suffering from cancer benefit in principle and fundamentally from diagnosis and treatment using precision medicine tools. What is needed is an appropriate pathological work-up of the tumour, personalised radiological examinations and targeted treatment aimed at the characteristics of the specific tumour. Recommendations here are based on biopsies of tumours, which often change their characteristics, resulting in constant adaptation of treatment.
The computer-aided high-tech medical technology at the Radiology Centre of the Vienna Private Clinic is used for a wide range of diagnostic routines and special examinations and is specialised and awarded for this. Our state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and multi-slice computed tomography offer the highest possible quality, achieve the best results and are at the same time the most gentle and comfortable devices on the global market.
A team of qualified specialists works together with the attending physicians to ensure that patients receive the highest level of personalised care without long waiting times.
