High-Precision Tumour Treatment for More Than 20 Years
For more than two decades, we have used state-of-the-art radiosurgical technologies to provide highly targeted, tissue-sparing treatment for a broad spectrum of benign and malignant tumours. Every year, more than 1,000 patients place their trust in the European Radiosurgery Center Munich (ERCM) as they pursue an individually tailored treatment strategy.
Our goal is to deliver the highest standard of care and achieve a lasting improvement in your quality of life.

At ERCM, our patients are at the centre of everything we do. A tumour diagnosis can bring uncertainty, questions and anxiety. We understand the challenges you face and combine extensive clinical experience with empathy, respect and personal attention.
Our individualised approach brings together medical expertise and compassionate support to help you feel informed, reassured and confident in your care.
Every treatment is tailored to your individual clinical needs. We take time to answer your questions clearly and explain your treatment in plain language.
Our brochure introduces you to our centre, our team and the services we provide. You can view it online as a PDF or download it directly.
We provide personal, individualised care and are available five days a week.
Our physicians explain every stage of your treatment clearly, one step at a time.
Throughout your treatment, you are cared for by a highly qualified clinical team.
We keep waiting times to a minimum. The interval from initial contact to the start of treatment is usually approximately two weeks.
You receive expert medical care in a calm, comfortable, and welcoming environment.
Modern radiosurgery enables us to treat benign and malignant tumours with exceptional precision while minimising radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissue, without the need for surgery.
Advanced technologies such as CyberKnife and ZAP-X allow a highly conformal therapeutic radiation dose to be delivered to the target while sparing adjacent healthy structures to the greatest possible extent. The robotic system continuously compensates for organ motion and changes in target position, enabling highly accurate treatment delivery. You lie comfortably during treatment. Depending on the indication and the individual treatment plan, treatment may be completed in one or several sessions.
Following treatment, you can usually return home immediately and resume your normal daily activities. We will be pleased to discuss in a personal consultation whether modern radiosurgery is appropriate for your individual clinical situation.
Short treatment duration
Treatment is delivered in one or a small number of sessions, depending on the indication.
Painless
The treatment itself is painless and does not require a surgical incision.
No general anaesthesia
General anaesthesia is not usually required; patients remain awake and responsive.
No surgery required
The typical risks associated with an operative procedure are avoided.
Generally well tolerated
Side effects depend on target location and individual treatment plan, but severe adverse effects are uncommon.
No inpatient hospital stay
You can usually return home immediately after treatment and resume your normal daily routine.
As a first step, we carefully assess whether radiosurgical treatment is appropriate in your case. We review all available medical findings and imaging studies, including CT, MRI and PET/CT. If CyberKnife or ZAP-X treatment is a suitable option, we arrange a personal consultation without delay.
Together, we review your diagnosis and the available treatment options step by step and address all outstanding questions. Transparency is of paramount importance to us throughout this process.
Meticulous treatment preparation is essential for successful treatment. Based on your individual clinical situation and using state-of-the-art technology, we develop the treatment plan best suited to your needs.
Radiosurgical treatment with the robotic treatment system is painless and non-invasive. You lie comfortably on the treatment couch in a relaxed environment and may remain in your normal clothing. A treatment session usually lasts 15 to 30 minutes.
After treatment, we conduct a comprehensive post-treatment consultation. You receive detailed recommendations for follow-up care and remain in close contact with our team. Your well-being and quality of life remain central to our care, even after treatment has been completed.
Every tumour requires an individualised treatment strategy. Whether the condition is a benign neoplasm or a malignant tumour, radiosurgical treatment using innovative CyberKnife or ZAP-X technology can, for selected indications, provide an effective, tissue-sparing alternative to surgery or conventional radiotherapy.
In every tumour treatment performed at ERCM, we combine the highest standards of medical precision with the greatest possible patient comfort.
Depending on tumour size and location, selected renal tumours and adrenal metastases can be treated effectively using modern radiosurgery.
CyberKnife can be used to treat selected early-stage lung cancers, particularly T1 and T2 tumours, as well as a limited number of small pulmonary metastases.
Primary liver tumours and, in particular, hepatic metastases can be successfully treated with CyberKnife in appropriately selected patients.
In selected clinical situations, benign and malignant spinal tumours may be suitable for high-precision treatment with CyberKnife.
Selected prostate cancers can be treated effectively with CyberKnife as an alternative to surgery or conventional radiotherapy.
A broad spectrum of benign and malignant tumours and other conditions of the head can be treated using CyberKnife or ZAP-X technology.
Selected isolated lymph-node metastases may be treated effectively with radiosurgery in appropriate clinical situations.
Our patients value the comprehensive information we provide, the personal support they receive throughout treatment, and the empathy and respect that characterise care at ERCM. They are best placed to describe what else they value about ERCM and how they felt following CyberKnife or ZAP-X treatment.
