Precise tumor therapies for over 20 years
For more than two decades, we have been relying on state-of-the-art radiosurgery – innovative precision technologies for the targeted and gentle treatment of various tumors: benign neoplasms as well as malignant tumors.
Every year, more than 1,000 patients place their trust in the European Radiosurgery Center Munich (ERCM) on the path to individually tailored therapy.
Discover the advantages of modern radiosurgery now and contact us – we are here for you.
People are our focus.
A new tumor diagnosis often brings with it uncertainty, unanswered questions, worries, and fears. We understand your situation. We combine our many years of experience with genuine appreciation and empathetic care.
To provide you with optimal treatment and emotional support, ERCM offers you individualized care that creates security – top-quality medical care and human warmth.
We tailor each tumor treatment to your individual needs. We answer your questions clearly and without any technical jargon.
We take care of you personally
We explain things clearly. So you always know how your treatment is progressing – from scheduling your appointment to follow-up care.
The same physician will be at your side as a trusted contact person throughout your entire treatment.
We won't keep you waiting long: If your diagnosis can be treated by us and high-quality images are available, it usually takes only 2 weeks from the first contact to the start of treatment.
Our center offers a pleasant atmosphere: calm, warm and inviting – from the reception to the treatment room.
With modern radiosurgery, we treat benign and malignant tumors in a targeted and gentle manner – without surgery.
Thanks to innovative technologies like the CyberKnife and ZAP-X, we can destroy tumor cells with the utmost precision while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. An intelligent robotic system continuously adapts to natural organ movements or changes in position to treat the tumor with pinpoint accuracy.
Your treatment is performed in a relaxed position and often requires only a single session. After therapy, you can usually return home immediately and resume your usual activities.
We would be happy to discuss with you in person whether the innovative methods of modern radiosurgery are suitable for you and your situation.
Short treatment duration:
Often, only a single outpatient session (approximately 30 minutes) is required. If necessary, the treatment can be divided into up to five sessions.
Pain-free:
You lie quietly on a couch while the precision robot moves quietly around you.
Without Anesthesia:
You can speak to your treating medical team or relatives at any time or even take a short break from treatment.
Without surgical risks:
Our non-invasive therapy eliminates the stress and complications of a surgical procedure.
No or only minor side effects:
If side effects occur in rare cases, most patients recover quickly after treatment.
No inpatient hospital stay:
With a high level of outpatient treatment comfort, you can return home immediately after your therapy and return to your normal everyday life.
Our quick and straightforward approach for you: In the first step, we carefully assess whether radiosurgical treatment is suitable for your case. We analyze existing findings and available imaging materials (e.g., CT, MRI, PET-CT scans). If CyberKnife or ZAP-X therapy is a suitable option for you, we will promptly arrange a personal consultation.
A comprehensive consultation with you and our interdisciplinary treatment team forms the basis for the further course of treatment. Together, we will discuss your diagnosis, possible treatment options, and clarify any outstanding questions step by step. We place great importance on transparency so that you know exactly what to expect.
Precise treatment preparation that takes your personal needs and wishes into account is essential for treatment success. Based on your individual situation and with the help of state-of-the-art technologies (e.g., thin-slice MRI, PET imaging), our experts will develop the optimal treatment plan for you.
Radiosurgical treatment with the precision robot is painless and non-invasive. You rest on the treatment couch in your normal clothes in a relaxed atmosphere, while the highly specialized therapy unit rotates around you. Focused from different angles, the treatment delivers a therapeutic dose that destroys the diseased tissue. The session lasts an average of 30 minutes.
After your treatment, you'll have a detailed final consultation. You'll also receive guidance on aftercare and will remain in close contact with our team. Your well-being and quality of life remain our focus – even after your treatment is complete.
Every tumor requires a unique approach—whether a benign neoplasm or a serious cancer. Radiosurgical treatment with the innovative CyberKnife or ZAP-X technology offers an effective, gentle alternative to surgery or conventional radiotherapy for certain diseases in selected situations.
All tumor treatments we perform at ERCM always combine the highest medical precision with maximum patient comfort.

As an international reference site for the CyberKnife and ZAP-X, we have also been supporting the continuous development of advanced radiosurgery for many years after their introduction in Germany. To this end, we collaborate with leading research institutions worldwide – including the Ludwig Maximilian University Hospital (LMU) in Munich and Stanford University in California.
We regularly share our research results in renowned journals such as the International Journal of Radiation Oncology – Biology – Physics and the International Journal of Cancer. In this way, we contribute to the sustainable advancement of tumor therapy and cancer medicine – for innovative and patient-centered treatments.
