Radiotherapy has seen remarkable progress in recent years, and one of the most revolutionary breakthroughs is the MR-LINAC (MRI-guided linear accelerator). Available in Turkey, this cutting-edge technology combines the precision of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the power of a linear accelerator (LINAC) to target cancer with unparalleled accuracy.

I had an exceptional experience with Turkey-Health for my eye surgery in Turkey. They offer very competitive prices, and I would especially like to thank Nassim. His professionalism and availability were remarkable, and he brilliantly corrected the mistakes of his predecessor. I highly recommend their services!

Go there with your eyes closed, stop listening to what they tell you in France. The service is so impeccable, not a single misstep, from the airport pick-up upon arrival in Turkey to the return to the airport after the operation. The medical staff is very kind, the surgeon is extremely competent, a brand new 4-star hotel with a Turkish breakfast. A 24-hour translator, a rate two and a half times cheaper than in France... I'll stop there, no need to go any further.

I went there for the medical checkup and I would say everyone there was very nice, but even with a translator there is still a bit of an English barrier. I feel like I had a lot of questions that I wanted to ask the doctor but a little overwhelmed to ask with everything. ANOTHER THING IS IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS IN ENGLISH, it has been 2 weeks and counting.

MR-LINAC is one of the most revolutionary innovations in modern cancer treatment. It combines two powerful technologies into a single system:
When used separately, MRI alone cannot guide radiation with precision, and LINAC cannot track organ or tumor movement during breathing or digestion. By merging these two technologies, MR-LINAC ensures that every radiation beam is delivered with unmatched accuracy, even when tumors shift inside the body.
With MR-LINAC now available in leading oncology centers in Turkey, patients can access cutting-edge treatment previously reserved for the most advanced cancer institutes worldwide.
MR-LINAC is particularly effective for tumors that are difficult to target or move during treatment. Its combination of real-time imaging and precise radiation makes it ideal for cancers where accuracy is critical. The main types of cancers for which MR-LINAC is most appropriate include:
By using MR-LINAC, oncologists in Turkey can deliver highly targeted, adaptive radiation therapy, improving outcomes while minimizing side effects.
MR-LINAC can be performed following four steps:
Your medical team first performs real-time MRI scans to locate the tumor and determine the exact radiation dose needed. This ensures the cancer is targeted while minimizing risks to surrounding healthy tissues.
Your clinical team will take care to ensure your safety during the procedure, such as wearing a patient gown and removing objects containing materials (jewelry, accessories, etc.).
Using advanced software, specialists design your treatment plan, including the number of sessions and radiation beams required. Each plan is unique and adapted to your condition.
During each session, MR-LINAC continuously tracks the tumor and adjusts the radiation beams to follow even the smallest movements (such as breathing or digestion). This guarantees the radiation stays focused on the tumor without harming nearby organs.
After treatment, regular check-ups are scheduled to monitor progress and ensure long-term effectiveness. Follow-up may continue for several years, providing reassurance and optimal cancer control.
The MR-LINAC system offers unique advantages compared to conventional radiotherapy. By combining real-time MRI imaging with precise radiation delivery, it provides safer, faster, and more effective treatment for cancer patients.
With MR-LINAC available in Turkey's top oncology centers, patients benefit from advanced care that combines innovation, safety, and affordability. Turquie Santé ensures seamless access to this technology, along with comprehensive support throughout your treatment journey.
