For Patients

At Life Beam, we use cutting-edge technology to make radiotherapy more precise, personalized, and gentle. By combining online adaptive radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery, treatment can be adjusted daily to reflect your current anatomy – even when small changes occur, such as tumor shrinkage or internal shifts.

This high level of precision supports truly individualized treatment planning – aiming to target the tumor as accurately as possible while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. In many cases, the total number of treatment sessions can be reduced. This can be particularly relevant for patients with demanding schedules, those traveling from abroad, or anyone seeking a compact and efficient therapy plan.

The treatments used at Life Beam — both Online Adaptive Radiotherapy and Stereotactic Radiosurgery — are included in the recognized catalog of services covered by public health insurance. For patients, this means that treatment is usually fully covered by public health insurance. We are happy to assist you with any questions you may have about cost coverage or required documentation.

Life Beam continuously detects changes that are critical to treatment success – such as variations in body weight, tumor shrinkage, or shifts within the body. This applies not only to treatment planning and positioning before the session: the system also monitors the body in real time during radiation and compensates even the smallest movements with millimeter precision.

This is especially important for organs that change position from day to day – for example, the prostate, which can shift depending on bladder or rectal filling. The same applies to moving organs such as the lungs. Life Beam ensures that the radiation dose is delivered exactly where it is needed – while reducing unnecessary exposure to healthy tissue. An intelligent interplay of imaging, planning, and control – for accuracy, safety, and confidence in every session.

By continuously adapting to daily anatomical changes and natural body movements, Life Beam achieves highly accurate targeting with maximum protection of surrounding tissue. This approach not only supports safe treatment, but also allows for higher individual radiation doses per session. As a result, the overall number of treatment appointments can often be significantly reduced.

This is particularly valuable for tumors located close to sensitive tissue or in areas affected by movement – such as the abdomen, neck, or near nerve pathways. The combination of adaptive radiotherapy and radiosurgery makes a real difference: it enables focused yet controlled treatment – even in cases where caution once limited what was possible.

A cancer diagnosis changes everything – but life doesn’t have to come to a halt. Life Beam is designed for everyone whose condition qualifies for this type of treatment. We welcome direct contact from patients and referring physicians alike.

Many of our patients – including those with demanding professional lives or traveling from abroad – value both our discretion and the flexibility of this treatment concept. With precise technology and individualized planning, radiotherapy can often be completed in just a few focused sessions, depending on the indication. This reduces time, travel, and physical strain – making treatment at our Munich center an attractive option for patients from all over the world.

In short: your therapy becomes what it should be – a key medical event, professionally integrated into a self-determined life.

Radiotherapy as an alternative to surgery – in just a few sessions. Highly precise, tissue-sparing, and with a low risk for incontinence or impotence.

Tumor treatment without surgery. With millimeter-level precision and respiratory gating, radiation can be delivered safely while sparing healthy lung tissue.

Optimal protection for lungs and heart. Intelligent dose control safeguards surrounding tissue and can noticeably shorten overall treatment time.

Many bone metastases can be treated in a single session – even those located near sensitive structures such as the spinal cord.

With advanced targeting techniques, radiotherapy can be a safe and effective alternative to surgery.

Protecting voice, swallowing function, and surrounding organs – precise control is crucial in this delicate and mobile region.

Our center specializes in the treatment of a wide range of solid tumors at early, intermediate, or advanced stages. Patients with the following conditions particularly benefit from our approach:

Depending on the tumor type and location, we use online adaptive radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, or a combination of both – creating a treatment plan that is precise, personalized, and effective.

Referral from your physician or direct inquiry (international patients welcome).

A detailed discussion to determine suitable treatment options. We can obtain your previous medical records digitally if needed.

CT or MRI-based imaging for precise treatment planning. Our specialists design an individualized therapy concept based on your anatomy.

Therapy begins. Depending on the indication, between 1 and approximately 20 sessions may be required. The treatment plan can be adapted at every appointment (online-adaptive).

After completion, we continue your care in close coordination with your referring clinic or physician.
