Prof. Dr. med.
Alexander Muacevic

Direktor I Neurochirurg – Radiochirurg

Mit über neunzehn Jahren Erfahrung am European Radiosurgery Center Munich habe ich meine Fachkenntnisse in der Radiosurgery und Neurochirurgie stetig erweitert. Mein Engagement gilt der Weiterentwicklung von bildgeführten Therapien und der Behandlung komplexer Fälle wie Gehirntumoren, Nierenzellkarzinomen und Uveamelanomen. Als Vorstandsmitglied von AERO bei Accuray und Professor an der LMU-München lege ich großen Wert auf interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit und Innovation. Unser Team hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die Grenzen der vollständigen Körperradiochirurgie zu erweitern und unsere Patienten mit der bestmöglichen Versorgung zu unterstützen.
