Radio-Onkologiezentrum Biel Seeland Berner Jura

What Radio-Onkologiezentrum Biel Seeland Berner Jura does

Radio-Onkologiezentrum Biel Seeland Berner Jura AG is a privately held Swiss radiation oncology center founded in 2005 and headquartered in Biel/Bienne. The company operates as a cooperative venture (Aktiengesellschaft) jointly established by four hospitals — Inselspital Bern, Spitalzentrum Biel, Hôpital du Jura bernois, and Hirslanden Klinik Linde — to deliver localized radiation therapy for cancer patients across the bilingual Biel-Seeland-Berner Jura region of Switzerland, eliminating the need for patients to travel to distant university hospitals. The center is led by Managing Director PD Dr. med. Evelyn Herrmann and staffed by a small team of approximately 8 employees.

The company's core product is Strahlentherapie (radiation therapy) delivered on a linear accelerator (Linearbeschleuniger), supported by CT-based treatment planning, a medical physics planning team, and daily interdisciplinary team reviews. Proprietary technology includes a touch-free surface recognition and automated treatment interruption system (partnered with Safer Radiation Technology) that enables patient positioning without skin markings and continuous video/audio monitoring during irradiation. A complementary supportive service, Lichttherapie (photobiomodulation), uses red and infrared laser light to mitigate radiation-induced dermatitis and oral mucositis. Patient experience is supported by an interactive 3D virtual tour of the treatment pathway and a comprehensive FAQ resource.

The business model is professional-services revenue from radiation oncology treatments, billed under Swiss statutory and supplementary health insurance (TarMed/DRG framework). Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven: patients access the center through general practitioners, specialist physicians, and the four partner hospitals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company does not pursue geographic expansion, productization of its technology, or external capital; growth is incremental and confined to deepening services within its existing single-facility regional catchment.

• Universitätsspital Basel: Northwestern Switzerland's university hospital with a dedicated radio-oncology department offering comparable linear accelerator-based radiotherapy services, structured under a similar university-affiliated operating model.
• Kantonsspital Winterthur: Public hospital in Winterthur operating a radio-oncology center with linear accelerator technology, structured clinical workflows, and affiliate ties to university practice — directly comparable as a regional Swiss public-sector radio-oncology provider.
• Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève (HUG): Geneva's university hospital with a Division of Radiation Oncology delivering comparable linear accelerator radiotherapy and participating in clinical research — a similar public-university-affiliated operating model.
• Kantonsspital St. Gallen: Major eastern Swiss public hospital with an established Department of Radiation Oncology providing CT-planned linear accelerator radiotherapy — comparable in clinical scope and public-hospital partnership structure.
