About the clinic

Chemotherapy for breast cancer at Central Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provides personalized medical care led by oncology specialists. The treatment focuses on using medicine to destroy cancer cells while supporting the body through specific nutrition protocols. This medical care is managed by the hospital's specialized Medical Oncology unit in a modern setting.

Oncology Expertise

Doç. Dr. Ahmet Bekir Öztürk manages chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer patients at Central Hospital. As a dedicated Medical Oncologist, Doç. Dr. Öztürk creates treatment plans tailored to the specific needs of each patient. The medical team at the Etiler facility monitors progress closely during each cycle of therapy.

Nutrition and Side Effect Management

Dietary choices play a major role in managing side effects and helping the body recover during chemotherapy. The clinical team provides specific guidelines for every stage of the process. Before starting treatment, patients should eat light, boiled foods that are not spicy. It is important to drink plenty of fluids and choose peeled fruits while avoiding raw salads.

During the active treatment phase, patients must follow these guidelines to help with nausea and oral health:

  • Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, as they can interfere with medicine.
  • Eat corn flakes or salty peppers to help manage feelings of nausea.
  • Use ice cream to help soothe the mouth and maintain oral health.
  • Choose high-protein snacks to keep energy levels up.
  • Avoid caffeine and sugary drinks.

Post-Treatment Recovery

After chemotherapy cycles are finished, the focus shifts to long-term health and preventing recurrence. Patients are advised to eat at least five servings of vegetables and fruits every day. It is better to eat whole fruits rather than drinking fruit juice. The medical team also recommends limiting red meat to once a week to support a healthy recovery. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the patient's health over time.

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
