A full course of systemic chemotherapy typically runs $4,500–$5,000, while advanced intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) costs about $33,000 with a short hospital stay. The hospital is JCI-accredited with a Johns Hopkins affiliation for specialized care.

Treatment Options at Anadolu
The hospital offers several targeted treatments for retinoblastoma. The goal is to preserve the eye and vision whenever possible.
- Intra-Arterial Chemotherapy (IAC): This is an organ-sparing procedure. Chemotherapy is delivered directly to the eye artery. A specialized radiologist performs it under general anesthesia. The price around $33,000 often includes a 1–2 day hospital stay. It minimizes systemic side effects.
- Systemic Intravenous Chemotherapy: This involves a standard protocol of about six cycles. It may be used alone or with other treatments. A full course costs around $4,500–$5,000 per course.
- Cryotherapy: This ablative therapy freezes small tumors. It may cost between $1,000 and $3,000 per session. It is often used for localized or residual disease.

Everything was flawless
If you’re considering stem cell rejuvenation, you should be aware that the hardest part comes after the procedure. For me, the biggest challenge was definitely waiting for the results. The procedure itself, which involved using stem cells from my blood plasma, was straightforward. Physically, I actually feel much the same as before, which is probably normal in the early stages of recovery. The surgeon and the entire staff were consistently professional and supportive, so I give full marks for the care and the clinic. Everything was flawless. You just have to be aware that patience is required. I would recommend the clinic.
The treatment went smoothly.
The town is lovely for sightseeing afterwards, too.
The clinic’s coordinator isn’t always available, which was sometimes frustrating. It makes you feel insecure. I was scared at first (new city, I didn’t know anyone and I didn’t speak the language either).
The Bookimed staff member was always available and replied straight away. She was reliable, which made my stay much easier in the end.
Not all the hotels are good. I recommend the Hyatt hotel (it’s expensive, though) and 216 Castel (cheap and in a lovely area).
Be careful with taxi drivers in the city. You end up paying more than the journey actually cost.

I’d give the hospital 5 points
I’ll deduct one point because of the transfer. I was supposed to be at the hospital at 6.00. We’d agreed that they’d pick me up at 5.40. I waited until 5.55, but they didn’t come to pick me up, even though I’d texted and phoned them. They turned up just as I’d already walked there myself. Overall, though, I coped very well with the anaesthetic and haven’t felt any pain at all. I’d give the hospital 5 points.

My recommendation score is a 10
If you're considering a comprehensive check-up, I would tell you this clinic is a very solid option. My recommendation score is a 10. The facility itself is excellent and extremely well-organized, which made the entire process feel efficient from the moment I walked in. The medical team was professional. Both the staff and my doctor were competent and handled everything as planned, though the service felt very direct and to the point. I'm satisfied with my decision to come here for my health screening.
Brilliant coordinator and translators. Good doctors.
Slightly more streamlined onsite service, and english first evaluations and doctors, even though the translators did a great job at bridging the gap.

The doctor from the first minute caused complete confidence
Excellent clinic. Very caring and skilled doctors. Despite the fact that I went to the gastrectomy operation alone, without an accompanying person, I did not feel for a single minute without attention and care. Thanks to my wonderful translator Elmira - she has become a real support. Special thanks to my coordinator Bakhtygul - she organized everything as comfortably and professionally as possible. The recovery room is excellent. Bright, with a beautiful view. My deep gratitude to all the staff of the surgical department (floor 1) for their kindness, attention, support, care. The doctor from the first minute caused complete confidence. I think he is a true professional and a wonderful surgeon. I definitely recommend the clinic for a competent, comprehensive examination, and for the treatment of serious problems.
