Uterine cancer treatment in Turkey
Cancer of the uterus is the most common type of tumor in the female genital organs. The average age of patients is 68 years.
- Innovative equipment with 100% diagnostic accuracy,
- Use of the Gamma/Cyber-Knife, new generations of medicines and the Da Vinci robotic system.
With an early visit to a Turkish clinic, it is possible to prevent the development of oncology at a precancerous stage.
MedTour patients recommend clinics for the treatment of uterine cancer in Turkey:
Frequently Asked Questions
Turkish oncologists confirm the diagnosis of oncology with:
- Hysteroscopy,
- Biopsy with laboratory tissue examination,
- Ultrasound and X-ray.
In Turkish hospitals, the treatment option and the need for surgery depend on the stage of the cancer and the patient’s condition. In some cases, surgery and careful follow-up are sufficient to completely cure.
Surgery and histopathological (laboratory) staging are the basis for cancer patients. In case of contraindications to the operation, non-invasive (non-surgical) methods of therapy are used:
- Chemical,
- Radiation,
- Hormonal,
- Targeted,
- Palliative.
Professor Murat Dede is an obstetrician-gynecologist and surgeon-oncologist with over 20 years of experience. The doctor specializes in robotic removal of tumors of the female reproductive system. He performed about 250 operations with the Da Vinci robot and completed an internship in Norway.
Professor Duygu Derin is an oncologist with over 19 years of experience. The doctor is a member of 3 international and Turkish associations of oncologists. She is the author of 35 scientific publications.
Popular Turkish hospitals for the treatment of uterine oncology:
- Medipol University Hospital is the largest Turkish hospital, it has passed all the tests of the American commission and received JCI accreditation.
- Anadolu Medical Center – ranks first in the ranking of oncology treatment abroad. This center is certified by the European Oncology Society.
- Medical Park network of hospitals – consists of more than 25 clinics and has about 6 thousand doctors. JCI accredited.
The success of therapy in a turkish clinic depends on:
- characteristics of the tumor (stage and location),
- the age and condition of the patient,
- the presence of concomitant diseases.
The early stage of oncology lends itself well to surgery and chemoradiotherapy if a qualified oncologist and oncosurgeon has made a plan for it.
On the MedTour platform, you will find experienced Turkish oncologists and surgeons. If you find it difficult to make a choice yourself – leave a request and get a free consultation from the Medical Coordinator.
The exact cost depends on the chosen clinic and experience of the doctor:
- consultation with a Turkish oncologist – from $100,
- biopsy (histological examination) – from $1,300
- removal of a cancerous focus (hysterectomy) – from $2,000.
Diagnosis of uterine cancer in Turkey
For cancer of the uterus Turkish doctors perform an ultrasound of the vagina. If the lining of the uterus is thickened, they prescribe an endoscopy.
To clarify the type and stage in Turkey, use:
- Transvaginal ultrasound – if cancer is suspected, a Turkish gynecologist will perform an ultrasound scan through the vagina. It is used to assess the thickness of the lining of the uterus and endometrium.
- Mirroring the uterus (hysteroscopy) – the doctor examines the lining of the uterus using a hysteroscope equipped with a light source and a camera.
- Biopsy – tissue samples are taken from suspicious areas of the mucous membrane.
Uterine cancer treatment in Turkey
In Turkey, high-tech methods are used at any stage of the disease. They comply with international protocols:
Stage 1-2 – surgical intervention (radical hysterectomy) is performed laparoscopically with radiosurgery. This method of surgery is characterized by minimal tissue damage and a short postoperative period, in contrast to conventional operations. Turkish surgeons use innovative equipment:
- Gamma Knife,
- Cyber Knife,
- Da Vinci robot.
For the complete destruction of the oncological process in Turkish clinics, chemotherapy with drugs of a new generation and radiotherapy are carried out.
Stage 3-4 – if the tumor is operable, surgical treatment is used. If it is impossible to completely remove and to improve the results of complex therapy, the following is carried out:
- targeted therapy – strong drugs are used, they block and destroy cancer cells,
- chemoradiotherapy – radiation effect on the pelvic area in combination with cytostatic drugs,
- hormone therapy – for hormone-dependent tumors.
Advantages and Disadvantages of uterine cancer treatment in Turkey
The main feature of Turkish medicine is European quality and international treatment protocols for a cost 3-4 times lower than prices in Europe.
The disadvantage is the lack of knowledge of the Russian language among the clinic staff. But with the MedTour platform, you can get a personal translator. Leave a request and the Coordinating Doctor will contact you.
