About the clinic

Chemotherapy at Central Hospital (Etiler Branch) in Istanbul, Turkey, provides personalized cancer care under the supervision of experienced medical oncologists. The program stands out for its integrated approach, combining advanced medical treatments with specific nutrition and exercise protocols to manage side effects. The hospital uses modern imaging tools, such as 3 Tesla MRI and AI-powered CT scans, to monitor treatment progress accurately.

Oncology Expertise at Central Hospital

Medical oncology services at the Etiler branch are led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bekir Öztürk. As an Associate Professor, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Öztürk specializes in creating targeted treatment plans for various types of cancer. The clinic belongs to a private hospital network that has operated in Turkey since 1994. The facility also uses the da Vinci robotic system for cases where surgical intervention is needed alongside medical therapy.

Nutritional Support During Treatment

Dietary management is a vital part of the chemotherapy protocol at the clinic to help patients maintain their strength. The medical team provides specific guidelines for every stage of the process:

  • Before treatment: Patients are advised to eat lean, boiled foods and drink plenty of fluids in small portions.
  • During treatment: High-protein snacks and medical nutrition products help prevent weight loss.
  • Managing nausea: Salty snacks like peanuts or corn flakes are recommended to settle the stomach.
  • Safety warning: Patients must strictly avoid grapefruit and its juice, as it can interfere with chemotherapy drugs.

For long-term recovery, the plan includes at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Red meat is typically limited to once per week while dairy products are encouraged.

Exercise and Recovery

Central Hospital includes a tailored exercise program for patients undergoing chemotherapy. This low-intensity routine aims to improve cardiovascular health and muscle strength. Regular physical activity helps reduce common side effects like fatigue and depression during the treatment cycle. The hospital’s AI-powered imaging systems allow doctors to adjust these supportive therapies based on the patient's real-time physical response.

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
