Causes of brain cancer

Although researchers have conducted numerous studies, the exact causes of brain cancer remain a mystery. However, several factors may increase the risk of developing this tumor, including:

Symptoms of a brain tumor

Brain and spinal tumors can present with a variety of symptoms, depending on their location and whether they are benign or malignant.

In general, clinical signs only appear at an advanced stage, when the tumor has grown large enough to affect the function of the brain or spinal cord.

The most common symptoms of a brain tumor are:

You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience one or more of these symptoms.

Early diagnosis is critical for effective treatment of brain and spinal tumors.

Diagnosis of brain tumors

In Istanbul, the diagnosis of brain tumors mainly relies on two medical imaging techniques:

These examinations, often used together, optimize diagnostic accuracy and enable more effective patient management.

Treatment of brain tumors

Brain cancer treatment in Turkey is a complex and personalized process that combines different therapeutic options to optimize the chances of cure and preserve the patient's quality of life. Ongoing advances in oncology research in Turkey are helping to refine therapeutic strategies. More effective and less toxic alternatives are now available to our patients.

The main treatments used in the treatment of brain tumors are:

Surgical treatment

Surgery is often the first step in treatment with the goal of removing all or part of the tumor. The feasibility of surgery depends on the location and size of the tumor. Surgical techniques include

Chemotherapy:  Fighting cancer cells

Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells. It can be given intravenously or orally and is often used in combination with radiation therapy or for recurrence after surgery.

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy uses beams of X-rays or other charged particles to target and destroy cancer cells. It may be used before surgery to reduce the size of the tumor, after surgery to eliminate residual cells, or in the event of a recurrence.

Immunotherapy approach

Immunotherapy stimulates a patient's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. This promising approach uses drugs or biological agents to activate immune cells or block the mechanisms that prevent the immune system from recognizing cancer.

Targeted therapy

Targeted therapy specifically attacks the molecular abnormalities present in cancer cells, thereby limiting damage to healthy cells. This approach uses drugs that block specific signaling pathways or inhibit the growth and division of cancer cells.

Terminal brain cancer: Chances of survival

The terminal phase of brain cancer represents the last stage of the disease when curative treatment is no longer an option. This period is characterized by the patient's great fragility, both physically and psychologically. The main objective is to alleviate suffering and accompany the patient in his last moments.

Before reaching this stage, the physician assesses how far the cancer has progressed and how well the treatment can cope with it. Based on this analysis, the oncologist provides a prognosis for the patient's chances of survival.

This prognosis takes into account several key factors:

Accompaniment and palliative care

The terminal phase of brain cancer is a difficult and upsetting time. However, it does not have to mean suffering and abandonment. With quality medical and human care, it is possible to guide patients through a serene transition, surrounded by their loved ones.

During this phase, the relief of pain and other physical symptoms becomes a priority. Palliative care, provided by our multidisciplinary team in Turkey, plays an essential role in the care of patients and their families. We provide physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual support to help them cope with this difficult time.

Supporting our patients also includes open, caring communication. We respect our patients' wishes and involve them in decisions about their care.

Brain cancer treatment FAQ in Turkey

Can brain cancer be detected in a blood test?

No, brain cancer cannot be diagnosed solely by a blood test. Blood tests can help detect markers or rule out other causes, but diagnosis is mainly based on MRI and CT scans. 

Is brain cancer hereditary?

No, the majority of brain cancers are not hereditary. Only a few rare cases are linked to genetic predisposition.

What is the most serious brain tumor?

The most serious brain tumor is usually glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer that progresses rapidly. It requires urgent treatment with surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.

Can brain cancer recur after treatment?

Yes. The risk depends on the type and grade of the tumor. Close follow-up with MRI scans and specialist consultations is crucial for early detection. In case of recurrence, new treatment options are available.

How much does brain tumor surgery cost in Turkey?

The cost of brain tumor surgery in Turkey varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and the hospital chosen. On average, prices range from €8,000 to €15,000, which is up to 50% cheaper than in Europe.
