Nasopharyngeal cancer Treatment in Acibadem Altunizade Clinic

Acibadem Altunizade Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey offers full-spectrum care for nasopharyngeal cancer. An oncologist consultation is around $120, a PET/CT scan costs about $750, and radiation therapy is part of a program ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. This includes treatment guided by licensed radiation oncologist Prof. Dr. Fulya Agaoglu.

The clinic provides comprehensive diagnostics to assess the cancer. This includes a consultation with a radiologist for around $150 and detailed imaging scans. The imaging options include:

• CT (computer tomography) scanning, typically priced between $500 and $1,000.
• PET/CT scanning, which helps determine the cancer's stage and spread, for about $750.

Treatment typically involves a two-phase program for locally advanced cases. The first phase is induction chemotherapy. This consists of two cycles of systemic drugs to shrink the tumor. The second phase is Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). This precise radiation therapy delivers 33 sessions to target the cancer while sparing healthy tissue.

The complete program, priced from $1,000 to $10,000, bundles these treatments with essential support. It includes team specialist consultations, PET-CT monitoring after chemotherapy, and airport transfers. Medical team coordination is also provided to streamline the patient's journey. Patients should note that accommodation and flights are not part of the package price.

Prof. Dr. Fulya Agaoglu, a professor and radiation oncologist, provides the clinical opinion and oversees this tailored approach. The clinic itself is a LEED Platinum certified eco-building with a dedicated international patient support center. Contact the clinic to discuss your specific diagnostic and treatment needs.
