About the clinic
Brachytherapy for uterine cancer at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul, Turkey, provides targeted internal radiation to treat tumors while protecting healthy tissue. The hospital is JCI-accredited and features a specialized cancer center equipped with modern radiation systems. This treatment is often chosen for its efficiency and the hospital's multidisciplinary approach to oncology.
Treatment Methods and Sessions
Brachytherapy involves placing a radioactive source directly inside or near the tumor. Doctors at Hisar Hospital use vaginal cylinders or tandem applicators to deliver the radiation. The hospital primarily uses High-Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy. Each HDR session lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. Patients usually need 3 to 5 sessions in total, scheduled 2 or 3 times per week. Because these sessions are brief, patients can go home the same day.
Low-Dose Rate (LDR) brachytherapy is another option, though it is used less often. In this method, the radiation source stays in the body for several days. This requires the patient to stay in the hospital for the duration of the treatment.
Patient Experience and Recovery
The procedure is performed under general or regional anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable. Recovery is generally quick. Most patients return to their normal daily activities shortly after the session ends. The medical team focuses on a targeted approach to limit radiation exposure to the bladder and bowels.
Some patients may notice side effects after the procedure. Common experiences include:
- Vaginal sensitivity or discomfort
- Temporary pain or irritation in the treated area
- Changes in bowel movements
- Urinary tract issues
Most of these symptoms are temporary and improve as the body heals. The oncology team at Hisar Hospital monitors these effects as part of the follow-up care.
Advanced Oncology at Hisar Hospital
Hisar Hospital Intercontinental uses advanced equipment like MR-LINAC and specialized brachytherapy systems. The JCI accreditation confirms that the facility meets international standards for safety and care quality. Treatment plans are created by a team of experts, including specialists in surgical, medical, and radiation oncology. This team work helps determine the best radiation dose for each individual case.

I can confirm that this part of my medical journey was managed with thorough competence
My primary concern before traveling for a PET-CT with Gallium 68 was the logistical side of things and whether every step would be clearly explained and executed in a new medical system. These worries proved to be entirely unfounded. The entire process was managed with clear and direct communication from the staff and the surgeon, which made a significant difference. The clinic's organization was evident. Everything was handled systematically, and each stage of the diagnostic procedure was laid out for me beforehand, so there were no surprises. The approach was very professional. but I can confirm that this part of my medical journey was managed with thorough competence.

The staff were a definite highlight, providing excellent support and guidance throughout the PET-CT with Gallium 68 PSMA scan
I came away with a positive overall impression of the day. The staff were a definite highlight, providing excellent support and guidance throughout the PET-CT with Gallium 68 PSMA scan. They made me feel looked after. The doctor was professional and the clinic itself was well-equipped. My only negative, and the reason for a lower overall score, was the airport transfer. The taxi was difficult for me to get in and out of. More importantly, upon arrival at the airport, I could not find the driver at the designated meeting point, which created unnecessary stress. While the medical care was handled very well, the logistics of the transport could be improved.
