Stomach cancer treatment in Turkey

Benefits of stomach cancer treatment in Turkey:

Technical equipment of clinics

Before the therapy, the patient is diagnosed. Clinics in Turkey replace medical equipment with more modern ones every few years, which makes it possible to more accurately draw up a treatment plan with the lowest risks for the patient.

Affordable cost of treatment

Treatment in Turkish clinics is more affordable than in Europe, the USA and Israel, and doctors work according to international protocols and constantly exchange experience with their foreign colleagues.

Service

Leading medical centers in Turkey have international departments that help the patient at all stages of diagnosis and treatment: preliminary acquaintance of the doctor with the patient’s medical situation, drawing up a diagnostic plan, organizing a meeting at the airport, meeting at the clinic, accompanying an interpreter during procedures and meetings with doctors, help with questions of accommodation.

The quality of the provided medical services

Turkish clinics are annually tested for compliance with international quality standards: JCI, ISO, ESMO, MTQUA.

Continuous training of doctors

Turkish doctors undergo training in different countries of Europe, USA, South Korea, thanks to this they use a multisystem approach to treatment and use of international treatment protocols.

A diagnostic plan for stomach cancer is drawn up upon arrival at an initial consultation with a doctor. The cost of diagnostics can vary from $700 to $3-4 thousand.

A preliminary diagnostic plan can be drawn up remotely by sending patient data to the clinic. You can leave a request on the Medtour website to receive the cost of diagnostics.

1. Surgical treatment of stomach cancer

Endoscopic, laparoscopic, or open gastrectomy.
It is also possible to carry out the operation using the Da vinci robot.

2. Radiotherapy

Most often, external radiotherapy devices are used. This spares healthy tissues as much as possible and has a targeted effect on the tumor.

3. Chemotherapy

Combination chemotherapy and topical administration of chemotherapy drugs: hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy HIPEC.

4. Immunotherapy

5. Targeted therapy

In accordance with international protocols, surgical treatment is performed at the initial stages of gastric cancer:

1) Endoscopic tumor removal — performed at the initial stage, when the tumor has not yet spread beyond the gastric mucosa.

2) Partial gastrectomy — only the part of the stomach where the tumor is located, nearby tissues and lymph nodes are removed.

3) Total gastrectomy — complete removal of the stomach with lymph nodes and attachment of the small intestine to the esophagus.

If surgery is not possible, the doctor may prescribe hyperthermic intra-abdominal chemotherapy and a combination of other therapies.
