Thomas Gottschalk Declared Cancer‑Free After Second PET Scan

Clinicians will keep him under regular medical follow‑up after the scan found no detectable tumor.

Overview

  • Gottschalk said he underwent a second whole‑body PET last Thursday and that the scan showed no detectable cancer in his body.
  • His wife, Karina, called the result “a small miracle” and said doctors had given a poor prognosis at the time of diagnosis last year.
  • The 76‑year‑old was diagnosed about a year ago with an epitheloid angiosarcoma, a rare and aggressive vascular tumor.
  • His treatment over the past year included two operations, 33 radiotherapy sessions, three weeks of rehabilitation and an ongoing specialized immunotherapy.
  • Although imaging shows no tumor now, Gottschalk says he is still regaining strength week by week and will remain under scheduled follow‑up care.
