Prof. Dr. med. Nikolaos Zamboglou
Founder, CEO and Medical Director of the German Oncology Center, Limassol, Cyprus
As Director of the Medical Council of the GOC, Prof. Nikolaos Zamboglou coordinates the medical activities of all Departments.
With a long and successful career in Germany, his dream was to return one day to his homeland and offer to all citizens of Cyprus, with the experience, know-how, and the highly qualified and trained scientific staff that he chose, the same level of services and care that he had known and applied for almost 50 years in what he regards as his “second homeland”.

Over the past years, Professor Zamboglou and his research team have been able to expand the spectrum of treatment indications for interventional radiotherapy. The capacity of advanced image guidance and individualised dose shaping, enabled the effective application of interstitial brachytherapy for the treatment of prostate and breast cancer, sarcomas as well as brain tumour and soft tissue recurrences.
Especially in the curative treatment of prostate cancer, brachytherapy yields the same treatment results compared to radical surgery. However, the percentage of treatment related urinary incontinence is insignificant and the proportion of patients with preserved erectile function exceeds 80%.
Through progresses in the optimisation of dose distribution and advanced methods of virtual treatment simulation, Professor Zamboglou has offered advanced interventional radiotherapeutical treatment to more than 15.000 patients. He trained physicians from more than 120 institutions, including 10 centres from Greece, in his brachytherapy method.
Professor Zamboglou’s research focuses primarily on the field of image guided three dimensional treatment planning with geometry oriented optimisation of dose distribution. His work consists of physical, biomedical and technological research activities and introduced advanced biomedical imaging techniques.
