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.

Surgical oncology is a medical specialty that focuses on the surgical treatment of cancer. Working closely with other specialists (medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists),surgical oncologists use a multidisciplinary approach to provide personalized, comprehensive care for each patient.
The goals of oncologic surgery are many:
Our surgical oncologists in Turkey have recognized expertise in oncologic surgery. They are at the forefront of the latest technological advances and ensure the highest quality of care for their patients.
Depending on the purpose of the surgery, there are different types of oncologic surgery:
Surgical approaches in oncology include several methods:
The choice of oncological surgery is a crucial step in the care of a cancer patient. This decision, taken in close collaboration with the doctor, is tailored to each individual situation.
There are many key factors to consider:
A diagnosis of cancer raises a host of questions, from waiting for results to starting treatment to the possibility of treatment failure or relapse. Faced with a difficult ordeal, patients need answers, advice and personalized support to help them understand their disease and participate in medical decisions.
In this context, oncology, whether surgical or medical, plays a central role in the overall care of cancer patients. The surgical oncologist operates to remove tumors, while the medical oncologist suggests appropriate drug treatments, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted therapies. This complementary approach is essential if patients are to have the best possible chance of recovery.
Comprehensive, personalized care from a multidisciplinary team is essential to optimize the chances of recovery and improve patients' quality of life.
Depending on the location and extent of the surgery, general, regional, or local anesthesia with sedation may be used.
As with any surgery, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, or complications related to anesthesia, but the Turkish partner teams follow strict protocols to minimize them.
No, cancer surgery does not spread cancer. On the contrary, it aims to remove the tumor and surrounding tissue at risk, thereby limiting the spread of cancer cells.
Post-surgical follow-up includes regular consultations, imaging, and biological analyses to detect any recurrence early on and allow treatment to be adjusted quickly, thereby increasing the chances of long-term success.
You can usually resume normal activities a few weeks after surgery, but for some procedures, it may take months, depending on the extent of the operation and your doctor's advice.
