Small intestine cancer treatment in Turkey
Small bowel cancer is a malignant growth that occurs in the duodenum, ileum, or jejunum. The most common disease is the first part of the small intestine. According to statistics, 1 patient per 100 thousand people. As a rule, it develops in the old age of 60-70 years.
The effectiveness of treatment abroad depends on the stage at which the patient turns. If on the first, then in 60% of cases, patients completely get rid of cancer cells and return to their usual life. If the third is 30%. Therefore, you need to immediately make an appointment for examination by foreign doctors who will take care of the therapy using innovative methods and modern devices.

- Fibrogastroduodenoscopy (FGSD). The patient swallows a tube with a camera, which transmits an image to the screen. Can be diagnosed only with a disease of the duodenum.
- Biopsy. A small amount of tissue is taken for histological examination under a microscope.
- Colonoscopy. The tube is inserted into the anus and allows you to reach the lower part of the small intestine.
- Capsule endoscopy. The patient swallows a capsule with a video camera, which then comes out naturally. This is how doctors see the condition of the mucous membrane of the entire gastrointestinal tract.
- Enteroscopy by the double bolon method. The study is carried out under light anesthesia. The method is similar to FGSD, only with a large visualization field.
Small bowel cancer treatments
In addition to all the classic methods of treating cancer, Turkish clinics are equipped with modern equipment:
- Gamma Knife. Radiosurgical equipment used by doctors to irradiate with a diameter of 0.15 mm. This is 6 times less than the standard settings. When the beam hits healthy tissue, the strength of the radiation decreases;
- CyberKnife Robotic System apparatus. It also helps deliver ultra-precise radiation to abnormal cells. In this case, the whole body is not irradiated;
- Da Vinci robotic system. The mechanism includes a chamber and fine incision tools. It is remotely supervised by a surgeon. The robot reduces hand tremors and makes movements perfectly precise;
- TrueBeam Varian / Elekta / STx. Irradiation is absolutely painless, up to 1 mm in diameter. The number of sessions is minimized.
