VITUS Private Clinic is a world-renowned center in Germany specializing in advanced treatments for prostate and bladder cancer. With over 1,700 successful prostate cancer procedures since 2011, the clinic is a global leader in minimally invasive therapies, particularly in the use of Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) and the NanoKnife™ technology. These cutting-edge therapies offer a gentle yet effective alternative to traditional cancer treatments, providing patients with fewer side effects and better outcomes.
Specialization
VITUS Private Clinic focuses on offering individualized treatments for prostate cancer, especially for patients who face challenges with conventional therapies such as radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy. These traditional treatments often result in severe side effects, including impotence, incontinence, and other complications. In contrast, the clinic’s IRE treatment selectively targets cancerous cells while preserving surrounding tissues and avoiding nerve damage, offering a safe and effective solution for patients.
Innovative Treatment Options:
- IRE NanoKnife™: A revolutionary technology that treats prostate cancer with minimal side effects. This non-invasive procedure provides targeted tumor destruction while maintaining the integrity of surrounding organs, reducing the risk of impotence and incontinence to less than 10%.
- Electrochemotherapy (ECT): A combination of IRE and chemotherapy that enhances the treatment of advanced tumors, including those that have spread to the bladder, rectum, or pelvic floor, which are typically inoperable.
- Immunotherapy: Used in conjunction with IRE for improved treatment of advanced or metastatic cancers.
- Photodynamic Therapy: An additional therapy used to enhance tumor treatment effectiveness.
- GreenLight Therapy: A minimally invasive laser procedure to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or enlarged prostate. It provides fast symptom relief, minimal bleeding, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.
Prostate Cancer Focus: VITUS Private Clinic specializes in the treatment of prostate cancer, addressing both early-stage and advanced-stage tumors. Their expertise includes:
- Treating early prostate carcinomas with IRE and ECT.
- Handling advanced tumors that have grown into surrounding tissues such as the bladder, rectum, or pelvic floor.
- Managing recurrences after radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU).
- Offering targeted treatments for metastases in lymph nodes and bones.

Advanced Bladder Cancer Therapy at VITUS Privat Klinik
At VITUS Privatklinik, we offer advanced treatments like Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) and Immunotherapy with PDT for effective, minimally invasive care.
- Photodynamic Therapy: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses natural dyes and light to gently destroy cancer cells. The dyes are called “photosensitizers” or “photosensitizers” (PS) because they are taken up into cancer cells and make them sensitive to light of certain wavelengths.
- Immunotherapy + PDT: At the VITUS Private Clinic we use the modern possibilities of immunotherapy to destroy bladder cancer not only locally in the bladder but cancer cells throughout the body, with the aim of preventing the formation of metastases and tumor recurrences.
