Chemotherapy: What does it involve?

Chemotherapy refers to the use of anticancer drugs to slow down, stop, or destroy the uncontrolled growth of malignant cells. It is a systemic treatment, meaning the drugs travel through the bloodstream and can target cancer cells throughout the body.

In Turkey, oncology hospitals follow international protocols (ESMO, NCCN) to ensure safe, effective treatment aligned with global standards.

Chemotherapy can be given as:

There are nearly a hundred substances that can be combined in various ways. The goal is to fight different types of cancer more effectively. New molecules are constantly being discovered, synthesized, extracted, and developed in laboratories around the world, including those in Turkey.

How chemotherapy is performed in Turkey?

Chemotherapy in Turkey is carefully organized to ensure both medical effectiveness and patient comfort. The journey generally follows these steps:

A complete course of chemotherapy generally lasts 3 to 6 months, although this may vary depending on the individual's response and overall health condition.

When is chemotherapy recommended?

Oncologists in Turkey may recommend chemotherapy in different situations, depending on the type, stage, and behavior of the cancer:

It's important to note that not all cancers require chemotherapy. If the tumor is unlikely to respond, or if surgery alone is sufficient, oncologists may recommend other approaches. The choice is always personalized, based on medical evidence and the patient's overall condition.

With Turquie Santé, patients are evaluated by leading oncology specialists who create a personalized treatment plan. This ensures you receive the right treatment at the right time, never more than what you truly need.

Side effects of Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy plays a vital role in treating many cancers, but like any powerful treatment, it can cause temporary side effects. These effects differ from patient to patient depending on the type of drugs used, dosage, and individual health. 

Modern oncology centers in Turkey focus strongly on supportive care to make chemotherapy more tolerable and protect quality of life.

Side effectDefinitionHow to manage it 
Hair lossOften begins 2–3 weeks after the first cycle, but hair usually regrows once treatment ends.Cutting hair short before therapy, using gentle hair care products, and trying head coverings if desired.
Fatigue & anemiaExtreme tiredness due to a drop in red blood cells.Adequate rest, light physical activity, iron-rich foods, and medical support for anemia.
InfectionsHigher risk due to reduced white blood cells (weakened immune system).Regular handwashing, avoiding crowds, wearing masks, and taking antibiotics if prescribed.
Bruising or bleedingIncreased bleeding tendency from low platelets.Avoiding injuries, using a soft toothbrush, and consulting doctors if bleeding occurs.
Mouth ulcers & digestive issuesPainful sores in the mouth, nausea, diarrhea, or constipation.Anti-nausea medication, small frequent meals, hydration, ginger or lemon infusions.
Skin changesDryness, redness, or sensitivity caused by chemotherapy drugs.

Using sunscreen, fragrance-free moisturizers, and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.

In Turkey, oncology centers also provide psychological counseling, nutritional advice, relaxation therapies (meditation, breathing techniques, acupuncture),and regular monitoring with blood tests to adjust treatment safely.

With Turquie Santé, every step of your treatment is supported. Beyond advanced chemotherapy, our partner clinics ensure patients receive holistic care for both body and mind.

Chemotherapy FAQ in Turkey

How long do you need to stay in Turkey for a chemotherapy cycle?

The length of stay depends on the chemotherapy protocol. For a standard cycle, a hospitalization or presence of 1 to 5 days is usually sufficient. Between cycles (spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart),the patient can return to their home country if their condition allows. The schedule is set in advance by the oncologist to ensure safe treatment.

Is there an age limit for chemotherapy?

There is no strict age limit for receiving chemotherapy. The decision mainly depends on the patient’s overall health, comorbidities, and ability to tolerate treatment. In elderly patients, protocols and doses can be adjusted.

How long do chemotherapy side effects last?

The most common side effects (fatigue, nausea, hair loss) are usually temporary. They typically resolve within a few days to a few weeks after treatment ends. Some specific effects may last longer depending on the drugs used. Medical follow-up helps reduce their intensity.

Is chemotherapy painful?

Chemotherapy is generally not painful. The drugs are administered intravenously or orally. Some side effects may cause discomfort, but these are managed with appropriate treatments.

What is the difference between chemotherapy and immunotherapy?

Chemotherapy directly destroys cancer cells, while immunotherapy stimulates the immune system to attack the tumor. The choice depends on the type of cancer, its stage, and biological characteristics. In some cases, these treatments can be combined.
