About the clinic
Chemotherapy for brain tumors at Central Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provides a systematic approach to treating malignant growths. The treatment is led by specialized medical oncologists who focus on slowing tumor progression and improving patient quality of life. The hospital uses advanced diagnostic tools to monitor how the brain tumor responds to the drugs.
Oncology Expertise at Central Hospital
Medical oncologist Doç. Dr. Ahmet Bekir Öztürk leads the chemotherapy treatments at the hospital. He specializes in medical oncology and manages the administration of powerful anti-cancer drugs.

Nutrition and Side Effect Management
Dietary support is a vital part of the recovery process at Central Hospital. The medical team provides specific nutritional guidance to help patients manage common side effects like nausea or fatigue. Proper eating habits can help the body stay strong during the intensive drug cycles.
- Before treatment: Patients should eat light, boiled foods and increase their fluid intake.
- During treatment: Salted crackers or corn flakes help manage nausea. Protein-rich snacks are encouraged to maintain energy.
- Restrictions: Avoid grapefruit and acidic drinks, as these can interfere with chemotherapy drugs.
- Post-treatment: The diet focuses on recovery with five servings of fruits and vegetables daily and limited red meat.
Advanced Monitoring
Central Hospital uses modern imaging technology to track the success of the chemotherapy. Regular 3T MRI scans provide high-resolution details of the brain tissue. This allows Doç.
