Oncology

Although more cases of cancer are being diagnosed across the world, a cancer diagnosis is no longer a death sentence. Due to the rapid introduction of more effective methods of diagnosis and treatment, oncology patients have a much better prognosis and chance for a full recovery.

Turkey is one of the countries that can boast the latest cancer treatment technology and techniques.

Turkish oncologists have been successful in the treatment of various malignant diseases, including cancers of the brain, pancreas, prostate and ovaries. Turkish surgeons operate successfully on tumours that have been diagnosed as being inoperable in other countries. This is partly due to the use of the latest equipment and international and local patented treatment knowledge. For example, robotic perineal radical prostatectomy using Da Vinci Xi HD Surgical System , that was introduced by a Turkish urology professor, enables the removal of prostate tumours without opening the abdomen. This is possible via special robotic equipment, which can reach the prostate through an opening made in the crotch.

In an era where treatment of cancer patients without surgical intervention is a reality, Cyberknife / Gamma Knife treatment as well as chemotherapy, biotherapy and immunotherapy are utilised. In cases where radiation oncology is key, 3-dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) , Brachytherapy , Ultrasound-guided Transperineal Prostate Implant are endorsed and used by our oncologists.

In Turkey, you will find a full range of professional oncologists, one in three of whom have studied in Europe or the USA. The training and quality of Turkish oncologists is comparable to top class oncologists in the West or Israel and is more affordable.
