About the clinic

Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul, Turkey, provides advanced care for chordoma, a rare spinal or skull base tumor. Diagnostics like CT scans may cost $350-500, consultations are typically $140-180, and the genomic Tempus XT test is around $7,700. Treatment includes a comprehensive surgical package from $31,505 and MR-LINAC radiotherapy for $16,500.

Diagnostics for Chordoma

A precise diagnosis is the first step. The clinic offers a full spectrum of tests. This includes specialized consultations with ENT doctors, oncologists, and surgeons. High-resolution imaging uses 640-slice CT and 3 Tesla MRI scanners. For a definitive diagnosis, biopsies like fine-needle aspiration are performed. A key advanced test is genomic profiling with Tempus XT. This helps understand the tumor's genetic makeup. It may guide more personalized treatment decisions. Available diagnostic options include:

  • Specialist consultations (ENT, oncologist, surgeon, radiologist)
  • CT scan and scintigraphy
  • Fine-needle aspiration biopsy or nasopharynx biopsy
  • Genomic test Tempus XT

Treatment Options

The clinic offers two main modern treatment pathways. The choice depends on the tumor's location and stage. The team creates an individual plan for each patient.

Transnasal Chordoma Resection is a minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Pinar performs this endoscopic procedure through the nose. It is designed for tumors compressing the brain stem or spinal cord. Advanced cranial navigation and intraoperative neuromonitoring are used. This enhances precision and safety during the operation. The goal is to decompress critical neural structures. The inclusive package for this surgery is typically around $31,505. It covers hospitalization, specialized support, airport transfers, and interpreter services.

MR-LINAC Radiotherapy is a non-surgical option. It uses a 1.5 Tesla MR-LINAC machine. This technology combines MRI and a linear accelerator. It allows for real-time imaging during each radiation session. Doctors can adjust the beam with high precision. A full course involves 35 to 37 sessions. This treatment may cost around $16,500. It is for precise targeting of the tumor while sparing healthy tissue.

Hisar Hospital is JCI-accredited, ensuring international quality standards. It provides practical support like free airport transfers and interpreters in 15 languages. For those seeking expert chordoma care in Istanbul, requesting a consultation is the next step.

My journey felt "perfect"

What stood out most was the surgeon's personal approach. He showed me exactly what would be removed and set very realistic expectations for weight loss, which built a lot of trust. He even visited me personally after my sleeve gastrectomy. My journey felt "perfect". The care was solid. The main challenge was communication, as the "language could improve" among some team members. From a practical standpoint, the final bill had no surprises or additional expenses. I stayed in the hospital for more than six nights, and the clinic has remained easy to reach since I left, which is a great support during this recovery phase.
