Oncology

Cancer is a challenging disease that requires advanced medical treatments to combat it effectively. Istanbul has become a hub for medical tourism, and it is no surprise that the city offers state-of-the-art oncology treatments and preventive measures to manage cancer. Patients seeking oncology treatment and prevention services in Istanbul can expect a range of advanced therapies and innovative technologies, including robotic procedures and nuclear medicine.

Medical Oncology

Medical oncology is a crucial branch of cancer treatment, and Istanbul hospitals offer comprehensive medical oncology services. The medical oncology team includes highly qualified physicians and oncology nurses who specialize in chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormonal therapy. These treatments target cancer cells directly or indirectly and aim to slow down the growth of tumors and prevent the spread of cancer. Patients can receive chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormonal therapy in a safe and comfortable environment.

Radiation Oncology

Radiation therapy is another important modality for cancer treatment. Istanbul hospitals provide advanced radiation oncology services that aim to deliver precise doses of radiation to cancerous tissues while minimizing exposure to healthy tissues. Istanbul hospitals use the latest radiation technology, such as the Varian TrueBeam system, which is a high-tech radiation therapy device that enables fast and precise treatment delivery with minimal side effects. Robotic radiosurgery is another advanced radiation therapy that uses robotic technology to deliver radiation to the tumor site with pinpoint accuracy.

Surgical Oncology

Surgical oncology is a specialized field of cancer treatment that involves surgical procedures to remove cancerous tumors. Istanbul hospitals offer advanced surgical oncology services that use the latest techniques and technologies, including robotic surgery. Robotic surgery involves the use of a robotic system to perform surgeries with enhanced precision and control, resulting in faster recovery times and fewer complications. Istanbul hospitals also offer laparoscopic surgery, a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses small incisions and a camera to remove cancerous tumors.

Diagnostic Services

Our partner hospitals offer a range of diagnostic services that aid in the early detection of cancer. These services include radiology, nuclear medicine, laboratory, genetics, and pathology. Radiology services include computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and X-rays, which provide high-resolution images of the body to detect any abnormalities. Nuclear medicine services include positron emission tomography (PET) scans, which use radioactive tracers to identify abnormal tissues, and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans, which provide 3D images of the body.

Laboratory services include blood tests and biopsies, which help detect cancer at an early stage. Genetic testing is another important diagnostic tool that can identify genetic mutations that increase the risk of developing cancer. Pathology services involve the examination of tissues and cells to detect cancerous growth.

Prevention

Prevention is the key to managing cancer, and Istanbul hospitals offer various preventive measures to help patients reduce their risk of developing cancer. These measures include regular cancer screenings, lifestyle modifications, and vaccination against certain types of cancer, such as cervical cancer and liver cancer. Our partner hospitals provide personalized preventive care plans that include risk assessments, early detection strategies, and lifestyle recommendations to help patients maintain good health and prevent cancer.

Our partner hospitals provide advanced oncology treatments and preventive measures to manage cancer effectively. Patients seeking cancer treatment and prevention services in Turkey can expect to receive comprehensive care from highly qualified physicians and nurses who use the latest technologies and techniques to provide safe and effective treatment. The availability of robotic procedures and nuclear medicine in the hospitals further enhances the quality of oncology care provided.
