Here is a testimonial of one of our patients:

"I would like to announce hereby to the world that the small private clinic Minute Medical in Vienna led by Professor Markus Hartenbach, an expert in Nuclear Medicine, is nothing but a giant in helping people in need of medical attention, proving the success of day-to-day practical application of the results of the latest cutting edge scientific medical research.

Dr. Hartenbach had the courage to go against the tide of dusty, stone age “one-size-fits-all-protocols” in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer, as a humble service to diseased men, who otherwise would have ended up going through depraving and for the human body harmful and often intolerable treatments that would result in the deterioration of the quality of life of people exposed to those treatments.

What are we talking about? The PSMA directed Lutetium-177 ligand therapy for metastatic prostate cancer, which is normally tough or impossible to access. According to my experience, most international doctors follow a “Protocol”, where affected people should rather be exposed to overall abdominal radiation, chemotherapy and years of chemical castration through hormone therapy, which often leads to the building of hormone-resistant cancer cells that cannot be treated any more and the patient is basically left to spend the rest of his life with the spreading cancer in his body. Not to mention the side effects caused by non-focussed radiation, by chemo, not to mention the hardly tolerable effects of hormone therapy.

Prof. Hartenbach is serving his patients by the motto of “individualized, tailor-made treatments”, meaning that he has the courage to apply the suitable most modern treatments at the right time to his patients. As is usual in a private clinic, however these are patients who are striving to receive this treatments at their own cost and possible peril, because they aim to maintain their lifestyle, their ability to enjoy life and their mobility despite their horrible disease, which, to my opinion, under normal “protocol” is made intolerable for the human body, slowly destroying everything in their lives that’s worth living for.

I’ve been writing this predominantly in third person till now, to give a somewhat objective report on the case. However, and unfortunately for me, I’m also subjected to this disease, and I went through a long process to find Prof. Hartenbach’s clinic and ask him to treat me. My name is Dr. Sandor Ambrus and I’m 70 years of age.

I can really call myself lucky to have been advised, and therefore being eternally grateful, to my wonderful and widely, as well as deeply, educated family doctor and General Practitioner who is up to date in the latest groundbreaking technologies, Dr. Andrea Szelenyi of Budapest, Hungary, who called my attention to the existence of this special therapy. I am also grateful to Prof. Stefan Förster who is heading up the Bayreuth University Clinic, who could not treat me because of the compulsory “Protocol” in public clinics, that is still controlling the medical practice in Germany. But he was kind enough to introduce me to Prof. Hartenbach and his team, who were able to “tailor-made” adapt the therapeutic approach according to my individual requirements in his above mentioned clinic “Minute Medical” to serve the ones in need with his top-notch treatment.

I had a drastic prostatectomy in January of this year (2024) in Budapest, Hungary, and was diagnosed after the surgery with further lymph nodes that were affected by metastases. I had a PSMA PET Scan that was showing the affected nodes. According to Hungarian “Protocol” – the same as the German one I was advised to go through the above-mentioned treatments, which filled me with a dread that induced sleepless nights, but even worse, horrible nightmares in the night to be awaken by the reality that was even more frightening than those scary dreams. This situation lasted till the moment I met Prof. Hartenbach who encouraged me to have the freedom of choice for my own body.

I had three Lutetium therapies in a row with a month between them. Each treatment took 15 minutes and a pleasant and educational conversation with Prof. Hartenbach regarding my health situation and the outlooks I may have. I have not experienced any side effects whatsoever then and since. After finishing the treatment, I had a repeated PSMA PET Scan that showed the complete remission of the cancer. This may obviously change with time, as you can never know with this disease, but I’m hoping that it would remain like this for a long time. In the worst case scenario that it reappears some time down the line, one can eventually repeat the treatment, depending on the circumstances at the time.

As for my current situation, I live my life to its full extent like before I was diagnosed with the disease. I’m as mobile as I have always been in the past fifty years, working in my business, having a beautiful family life and flying at least once a week within Europe and several times a year overseas. I’m driving tens of thousands of kms a year, and none of this has changed since I made up my mind to see Prof. Hartenbach.

Sincerely,

Dr. Sandor Z. Ambrus"
