Cervical cancer treatment in Turkey
With the help of new technologies in Turkey, it is possible to remove exclusively the affected area of the cervix. Turkish doctors use innovative methods:
- conization,
- ablative removal,
- modified radical trachelectomy,
- laparoscopic evisceration of the pelvic organs,
- radio/chemo/immuno and targeted therapy.
Many surgeries are performed laparoscopically in Turkey. This minimally invasive operation is performed through small holes in the abdomen (2-3 cm). Thanks to this method, the postoperative rehabilitation period is significantly reduced. This method is less traumatic and has a better aesthetic effect.
In Turkish hospitals, before choosing a treatment, doctors take into account all important criteria:
- the patient’s desire to have a child,
- age,
- general health.
Turkish oncologists take on complex and advanced stages of the disease. In this case, the treatment is carried out in two different ways:
- Surgical removal of the disease area, adjacent areas and lymph nodes. After surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are given.
- Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are performed together without surgery. This is suitable for inoperable patients in advanced stages.
Turkish hospitals provide the opportunity to consult with an independent expert. If a person wants more information or to learn about alternatives to therapy, he can turn to a second doctor. As a result, the patient gets 100% confidence in the correct choice of treatment.
