About the clinic
Emsey Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provides comprehensive care for astrocytoma. A tumor marker blood test may cost around $100, a detailed diagnostic package runs about $1,250, and a full course of IMRT radiation therapy is approximately $8,000. The JCI-accredited hospital uses advanced neuronavigation for surgical procedures.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serap Kaya is the lead clinical oncologist. She has over 25 years of experience and trains oncology teams internationally. Her expertise guides patients through diagnosis and treatment planning.
Diagnostic Approach
The process starts with a complete diagnostic work-up. This staging determines the tumor's size and location. Key tests include:
- Tumor marker blood test
- Brain MRI with contrast (around $400-$500)
- MRI of the spinal cord (around $180)
Consultations with an oncologist, neurosurgeon, and radiologist are included. A full diagnostic package costs about $1,250. It bundles scans, consultations, and a 2-day hotel stay with breakfast.
Astrocytoma Treatment Options
Treatment is personalized based on the diagnostic findings. The hospital offers several advanced methods.
- Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). This is a precise form of radiotherapy. It targets the tumor while protecting healthy brain tissue. A standard course includes 30 sessions over 6 weeks. The package, priced around $8,000, includes hotel accommodation for up to 42 days and airport transfers.
- Craniotomy with Neuronavigation. This is open microsurgery to remove the tumor. Surgeons use real-time brain mapping for safety. The procedure aims for maximal safe resection. A comprehensive package, typically around $25,000, covers the surgery, a 10-day hospital stay, and 5 days in a hotel for two people.
Emsey Hospital supports international patients with airport transfers and interpreters. Its multidisciplinary team creates an individual treatment plan for each patient with astrocytoma.

برنامج بوكيميد ممتاز الناس اللي فيه ممتازين
السلام عليكم ورحمه الله كبرنامج بوكيميد ممتاز الناس اللي فيه ممتازين الرد ممتاز بس اخر مره عن طريق مستشفى ام سي تركيا المترجم شخص اسمه عيسى ضعيف جدا في الترجمه وما يترجم ليش في كلام الدكتور لان الدكتور تكلم فتره طويله وكانت الترجمه فتره بسيطه فكان في اشياء كثيره ما يترجمش فيها لي وما استفدتش منها اي حاجه وما استفدتش من الكشف دكتور
May the peace and mercy of God be with you. As a great program, the people who use it are great. The answer is excellent, but the last time was through MC Hospital Türkiye. The translator is a man named Issa. It is very weak in translation and does not translate. Why is this from the words of the doctor? Because the doctor spoke for a long time, and the translation was short, so there was a lot of things. It does not translate for me, and it did not benefit me at all, and the examination didn't help, doctor

From personal experience, very bad. Money was taken, no treatment was prescribed. Diagonstik proiti from morning to evening turn from one office to another. I went for 2 days, my condition worsened and I left. Transfer managers, the hotel is well organized. And you should not go to the clinic, the doctors do not understand the patient. This is not a clinic, probably a diagnostic center. With my shortness of breath, I almost died in the corridor, they did not provide honey. help. Generally Emsey for me
