IOZK Immun-Onkologisches Zentrum Koln

My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 brain cancer in 2021. His prognosis was dire and the UK doctors told us very little about our options. After much research I found the IOZK. They couldn’t have been more helpful and supportive. They treated him with respect, care, and with innovative practices. I’m forever grateful to the IOZK team for their support and treatment; I truly believe their work gave us more precious time together. Thank you IOZK.

We’ve been going to IOZK for my brain cancer treatment – it is a very special place. The brilliant Professor Van Gool leads his incredible team from the front; with care, unparalleled expertise and the greatest respect. IOZK is responsible for my MRI scans looking better all the time – I have no hesitation recommending IOZK to anyone – if you have cancer, I urge you to go!

Our daughter was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer aged 18. In the UK she was told to make memories and given 6 to 14 months. Not good enough.! So after much research and speaking to people, IOZK in Cologne, Germany caught our attention and thank God it did. We made an appointment and met Professor Stefaan Van Gool who explained the ethos and procedures to us and offered us a plan which made complete sense. We started to make regular visits to Germany, even through lockdown and I can only say good things about everyone at IOZK, they were just brilliant. Over the next four years Laura’s health improved dramatically and she was an able to go back to University and complete her degree course. We never once thought we could beat this disease, but we did give it a real fight and this was undoubtably down to the kindness and expert medical knowledge and care given to Laura by IOZK.
Unfortunately, the cancer did win in the end as we knew it would, but Laura lived for nearly 5 years post diagnosis. I believe this was down to IOZK who are at least 5 years ahead of anything being done in the UK to treat Glioblastomas. Laura believed this too and she always felt better after returning from treatment. Having read some of the previous reviews I think it should be pointed out that IOZK is governed strictly and is not allowed to make profit, it has to break even and plough the money back into research. I would also like to add that even though Laura was under the supervision of many consultants in the UK, it was the straight forward advice and help we received from Professor Van Gool which we valued the most. IOZK was singularly the best decision we made in trying to help our daughter fight cancer.

The therapy is very solid and understandable. My thanks go to the entire medical team and to Mr. Altuntas, who looked after me very well during the treatment. I felt good here. Keep your positive attitude!

A calming and indeed promising alternative for those who want to boldly go their own way…!

I have been in treatment at the IOZK for quite some time and feel very well looked after in this practice. The therapy is not standard and requires thinking, which may not be the right thing for everyone. In any case, I found a contact person I trusted there, and I can only rate my experience as positive.

I have been here for 5 years now but the health care and doctor has changed a lot. It is better since a few months ago. I feel more comfortable now. Thanks a lot!
