Prostate cancer treatment at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental

Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul, Turkey offers full-spectrum prostate cancer care. Diagnostics may cost around $73 for a PSA test, with consultations from $110 and advanced imaging like PSMA PET-CT around $1,200. Treatment options include brachytherapy at $4,000, precision radiotherapy from $12,000, and robotic Da Vinci surgery around $18,500–$23,000. The clinic is led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Basri Cakiroglu, a urological surgeon with 31 years of experience and over 1,100 procedures performed.

Diagnostics

The clinic provides a comprehensive diagnostic panel to accurately stage prostate cancer. Options include:

• PSA blood test and biochemical analysis
• Consultation with a urologist or oncologist
• Imaging such as MRI, CT scan, and PSMA PET-CT for metastasis detection
• Prostate MRI fusion biopsy for highly precise tissue sampling

This detailed workup helps doctors create an individualized treatment plan.

Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive Treatments

Several advanced treatments are available to preserve organ function and quality of life. Hormone therapy uses medication to slow cancer growth. For targeted treatment, HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) destroys tumors with ultrasound energy without incisions. Brachytherapy involves implanting radioactive seeds directly into the prostate. For urinary relief, a TURP (transurethral resection) procedure can be performed.

Advanced Radiation Therapy

The hospital uses cutting-edge technology for precise radiation delivery. MR-LINAC stereotactic radiotherapy combines MRI imaging with radiation in real-time. This typically involves around 25 sessions. For highly focused treatment, CyberKnife radiosurgery uses robotic, image-guided beams. It often requires just 1 to 5 outpatient sessions.

Surgical Procedures

When surgery is recommended, patients have access to minimally invasive techniques. Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is performed through small incisions using a camera. The more advanced Robotic Da Vinci prostatectomy offers 3D magnification and enhanced precision for nerve-sparing surgery. These procedures come with inclusive packages covering hospital stays, transfers, meals, and translation services.

Hisar Hospital is JCI-accredited and supports international patients with services in 15 languages. For a personalized evaluation and treatment plan, consulting with their specialist team is the recommended next step.
