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. The medical oncology unit follows a multidisciplinary approach. This means different specialists work together to create a personalized plan for every patient. The team uses advanced 3T MRI and CT scanners to get clear images of the brain. These scans help the doctors see if the tumor is shrinking during the treatment cycles.

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. Dr. Ahmet Bekir Öztürk to adjust the drug dosage or schedule based on real-time data. Precise monitoring helps the medical team respond quickly to any changes in the tumor size or location.

I had such a positive experience with Dr. Majid Ismayilzada ✨ From the very first consultation, I felt safe, understood, and truly cared for. He is incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and attentive to every detail. The procedure went smoothly, and the results are exactly what I hoped for — natural, harmonious, and beautiful 🤍 I’m so grateful for his dedication and precision. A special thank you to his consultant, Olga 🌸 She was always kind, supportive, and available whenever I had questions. She made the entire journey comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend Dr. Majid Ismayilzada and his amazing team! 🙏✨

Hospital looks very clean and nice and it's very organized. Most of the staff is OK but not all the nurses are caring. While some of them are always friendly and helpful, other orget about you when sitting in the patient room or don't treat you too kindly, and when you call them they come all grumpy like you are disturbing them
