Overview
- A full‑body PET scan taken on Thursday found no detectable cancer, a result Gottschalk confirmed to Bild and several national outlets.
- Gottschalk was diagnosed last year with an epitheloides angiosarcoma, a rare and aggressive tumor of blood or lymph vessel cells.
- His treatment since the diagnosis has included two operations, 33 radiotherapy sessions and three weeks of rehabilitation before the recent scan.
- He and his wife Karina described the result as huge relief and a “small miracle,” with Karina saying she acted as his health manager through the crisis.
- Doctors warn a negative PET reduces immediate concern but does not guarantee a cure, so scheduled follow‑up will continue while he receives a specialized immunotherapy reported in coverage.
