David Kuczer MD | Speciality stereotactic precision irradiation
Dear reader!
Welcome to my doctor´s office.
As an radiation oncologist, I offer you my many years of experience in the diagnosis, treatment and aftercare of your cancer.
Good medical care can only be based on a trusting relationship between the person affected and the person treating them. In order to guarantee this to my patients, it is especially important to me to take sufficient time for your concerns, complaints and questions. In my practice, which I run in addition to my work as a senior physician in the hospital, I have the opportunity to help you in a relaxed atmosphere and to treat you in the best possible way and without time pressure.
Due to the current situation, we offer the possibility of a medical consultation by telephone. Prescriptions and referrals can be sent.
For a direct consultation in the office, of course, a number of measures have been taken for your safety.

Professional focus
- Second opinion by a specialist on your diagnosis, or initiation of diagnostic clarifications
- Explaining of your diagnostic images and findings
- Outpatient or inpatient treatment of your cancer using the latest radiooncological methods (stereotaxy, VMAT, TTF for glioblastoma) at the Vienna Private Clinic or in cooperation with a renowned specialized institute (e.g.: Amethyst Radiotherapy Vienna Private Clinic, Cyberknife, Proton Therapy, Seed Brachytherapy for prostate cancer, Optune TTF…).
My expertise includes in particular the application of highly precise special techniques in the irradiation of malignant and benign tumors. The aim of the high precision is the effective treatment of the tumor disease with maximum sparing of healthy organs at the same time.
The main aim is to destroy the tumor and to preserve the quality of life after the treatment of cancer at the same time.
Stereotactic irradiation (SBRT) should be mentioned in particular. This is used by me for:
- Small tumors of the lung (< 5cm)
- 1-5 bone metastases
- Lymph nodes in the abdomen or pelvic area
- Adrenal metastases
- 1-3 Liver metastases
- Re-irradiation of PET positive recurrences in prostate carcinoma
- Uveal melanoma to avoid enucleation of the eye
- Brain metastases., Meningeom, Acoustic neuroma
The most common tumor types I treat include:
- Malignant tumors: prostate cancer, breast cancer, rectal cancer, lung cancer, tumors of the brain, metastases in bones, lungs, brain or liver.
- Benign tumors: meningioma, acustic neuroma
