What is the role of an oncologist?

An oncologist is a specialist physician who analyzes the diagnostic results of a tumor to determine its stage and severity. Based on these tests and the patient's medical condition, the oncologist plans the most appropriate oncological therapy.

Focusing on the so-called tumor biopsy, the in-depth study of a tumor is a mandatory and indispensable step for the oncologist, without which it is impossible to establish a potentially valid and effective therapeutic pathway.

The development of a therapeutic strategy for cancer by an oncologist is carried out in collaboration with other specialists through multidisciplinary consultations. The goal is to provide comprehensive cancer care.

Early signs of cancer

Cancer is a disease that can occur in different parts of the body with different signs and symptoms. It's important to know the early signs of cancer so it can be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.

Catching the disease early increases the chances of recovery. In fact, certain symptoms can be warning signs of cancer and should prompt a person to seek medical attention. It's important not to overlook the early signs of cancer.

Early signs of a possible tumor include:

Cancer pathology examination and diagnosis in Turkey

Cancer diagnosis is a complex, multistep process. It involves various tests and procedures to detect, diagnose, and classify different types of cancer. 

The first step in cancer diagnosis is often the detection of abnormalities or masses in the body. This may be done during a routine physical examination or through cancer screening tests such as mammography, ultrasound, MRI, or blood tests.

If a suspicious mass or abnormality is found, a biopsy may be needed. During this procedure, a small sample of tissue is taken from the suspected tumor or lesion and examined under a microscope to determine the presence of cancer cells. If the biopsy results confirm the presence of cancer cells, additional tests, such as PET, x-rays, and ultrasound, may be performed. These tests determine the type of cancer, its stage, and whether it has spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body.

Oncology-cancer care in Turkey

The oncology-cancer care pathway in Turkey is characterized by the exceptional quality of medical services offered, from surgeons to hospital infrastructure. Our clinics in Turkey are known for providing world-class care and state-of-the-art medical capabilities. We understand that caring for cancer patients goes far beyond simple treatment. In fact, the therapeutic strategy for cancer encompasses all the care and support needed throughout treatment.

Our therapeutic approach takes into account the diverse needs of patients, including the management of pain, fatigue, nutrition, digestive, respiratory, genitourinary, motor, and other problems. In addition to specific treatments, our oncologists in Turkey are trained to address the social, psychological, and emotional aspects of the disease, including challenges related to body image and self-esteem.

Our medical units are also equipped with the latest tools and technologies to ensure an excellent treatment experience.

Cancer treatment options in Turkey

When it comes to treating cancer, several modalities can be used alone or in combination to target cancer cells and help fight this devastating disease.

In general, fighting cancer requires long-term treatment. In partnership with Turkey's leading hospitals and clinics, Turquie Santé provides excellent services for the diagnosis and treatment of various types of cancer.

Frequently asked questions

Cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy, can cause side effects. Common ones are fatigue, nausea, hair loss, digestive issues, low blood counts, and skin irritation. Most are temporary and can be managed with proper medical care.

The cost varies depending on the type of cancer and treatment, the length of hospitalization, and the number of required sessions. However, in general, prices are 40% to 60% lower than in Western Europe, while maintaining comparable quality of care.

Several partner hospitals of Turkey Santé specialize in oncology:

  • Neolife Oncology Center (Istanbul): ISO 9001 and JCI certified, offering a multidisciplinary approach.

  • Memorial Ankara: A world-class facility with specialized oncology services.
  • LIV Hospital Vadistanbul (Istanbul): A modern clinic focused on patient-centered care.
  • Lokman Hekim University Hospital (Ankara): Provides high-quality oncology care.

Yes, some cancers can have a genetic predisposition, but the majority are influenced by age, lifestyle, and environment. Genetic testing and medical monitoring can help assess the risk.

No, cancer is not contagious. It cannot be spread from one person to another through physical contact, breathing, or the exchange of bodily fluids.
