Overview
- Gottschalk said his latest PET scan found no detectable cancer cells, a result he described in interviews published July 18–20, 2026 as making him "momentan krebsfrei."
- His treatment to date included two operations, 33 sessions of radiotherapy and a three‑week rehabilitation program near Starnberger See.
- He is participating in a Greifswald research trial testing an immunotherapy described as a vaccine originally developed for certain pediatric cancers and has received eight of twelve planned injections so far.
- Physicians and his wife stress caution because epitheloid angiosarcoma is a rare, aggressive tumour with a high risk of recurrence, and doctors will continue checks every three months without prescribing conventional systemic cancer drugs now.
- Gottschalk has begun a measured public return, sharing an Instagram video and a Bild interview to thank his wife and medical team, a development that has increased public attention on his recovery and the experimental vaccine trial.
