Acibadem Altunizade Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey offers Gamma Knife treatment for schwannoma of the left jugular vein for $6,500 USD. The treatment is performed under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ufuk Abacıoğlu, a radiation oncologist at the clinic. This non-invasive procedure provides precise radiation therapy without surgical incisions.
The clinic also offers IMRT (intensity-modulated radiotherapy) as an alternative treatment option. This package costs $6,540 USD and includes up to 20 radiation therapy sessions. The treatment plan is customized based on CT and MR imaging. An immobilization mask is included to ensure accuracy during each session.
Prof. Dr. Ufuk Abacıoğlu reviews each patient's medical documents before treatment. He determines if Gamma Knife or IMRT is the most suitable option. For IMRT treatment, the therapy typically lasts 4 weeks. Patients receive 20 fractions of radiation delivered with precision guidance.
Upon arrival at the hospital, patients undergo a re-examination. Professor Meric Sengoz, head of the Radiation Oncology Department, finalizes the treatment plan. The radiation dose is determined individually for each patient. This ensures optimal results while minimizing side effects.
