About the clinic

Chemotherapy for ovarian cancer at Central Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, focuses on systemic drug therapy to target cancer cells. The hospital provides specialized oncology care at its Etiler branch, led by Dr. Ahmet Bekir Öztürk. This treatment plan integrates specific dietary protocols to help patients manage side effects and maintain strength.

Oncology Care and Expertise

Central Hospital is a private medical center that has operated since 1994. The facility treats around 138,000 patients every year across its three main branches. Dr. Ahmet Bekir Öztürk manages the medical oncology unit, focusing on systemic anti-cancer drug therapies. The hospital stays current with innovations in chemotherapy to improve patient outcomes and recovery times.

Nutrition Before and During Treatment

Dietary planning is a core part of the treatment at Central Hospital. Patients receive detailed guidance to prepare their bodies for the medication. Before starting therapy, the medical team recommends lean, boiled, and low-spicy foods. It is important to avoid fried items and acidic drinks to protect the digestive system. During the active treatment phase, patients should follow these steps:

  • Avoid grapefruit and its juice, as it can interfere with medications.
  • Eat salty crackers or corn flakes to help manage nausea.
  • Use ice cream to help prevent mucositis, which causes mouth sores.
  • Drink fresh juices instead of drinks with caffeine.
  • Eat high-protein snacks to prevent weight loss.

Post-Treatment Recovery

Maintaining health after chemotherapy requires long-term lifestyle adjustments. The clinical team advises eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Patients should limit red meat to just once per week to reduce inflammation. Choosing whole fruits instead of juice provides more fiber for recovery. Low-intensity exercise is also recommended based on how much the patient can tolerate. This supportive care approach helps patients transition back to daily life more effectively.

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
