Prof. Dr. David Kucher – a leading specialist in radiotherapy and oncology in Vienna.

Our consultant, Prof. David Kucher is an established radiologist-oncologist with international experience, based in Vienna, Austria. He specializes in modern, high-tech radiotherapy methods, including:

• Proton therapy.
• Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) - A cutting-edge technique that delivers high-dose radiation with sub-millimeter precision over fewer sessions, effectively treating localized tumors while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
•  Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT): An advanced form of intensity-modulated radiotherapy that allows for precise dose distribution, reducing treatment times and side effects.
•   Hydrogel Spacers: An innovative method involving the use of absorbable gel to create space between the prostate and rectum, reducing radiation exposure to healthy tissue during prostate cancer treatment.
• Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): Utilizes real-time imaging to enhance the accuracy of radiation delivery, ensuring optimal targeting of tumors.
• Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) Therapy – A non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity electric fields to disrupt cancer cell division, approved for certain cancers like glioblastoma and mesothelioma.

Focus and Specialization

Prof. Kucher is focused on the treatment of complex and difficult-to-reach tumors, including those in:

• • Brain
• • Prostate
• • Breast
• • Lung
• • Head and neck

Therapies are carried out using the most modern technologies in radiotherapy with the use of external beam radiation therapy with high-energy X-rays (photons) delivered by the Elekta Versa HD linear accelerator. This type of radiation targets and damages the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. Advanced imaging and precision techniques ensure the radiation is focused directly on the tumor, minimizing harm to surrounding healthy tissue. Treatment is personalized, and sessions typically last 5 to 15 minutes.

Conditions Treated
