Brain Tumor Embolization in Hisar Hospital Intercontinental
About the clinic
Brain tumor embolization at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul, Turkey, is a minimally invasive treatment that blocks blood flow to tumor-feeding arteries. The procedure helps control tumor growth and is often performed before surgical removal to reduce bleeding risks. This JCI-accredited facility provides advanced care using high-resolution 3 Tesla MRI and 640-slice CT scans for precise imaging.
Advanced Embolization Methods
Hisar Hospital uses endovascular embolization to treat brain tumors without traditional open surgery. During this process, specialists place embolic agents directly into the blood vessels. These agents block the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the tumor. This method is particularly effective for managing tumor growth and making later surgeries safer for the patient. The medical team coordinates care between the neurology, neuroradiology, and neurosurgery departments to manage complex cases.
Diagnostic and Interventional Technology
The hospital uses digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to map the blood vessels in the brain with high clarity. This allows doctors to target specific arteries that feed the tumor. The facility is equipped with a 1.5 Tesla MR-LINAC and a 3 Tesla MRI for detailed brain mapping. These tools help the interventional radiology team perform procedures with high precision. Patients also benefit from the PYXIS automated medication system, which helps manage drug delivery during recovery.
Brain Tumor Treatment Variety
The neuro-oncological surgery department provides treatment for a wide range of primary and metastatic tumors. This includes care for glioblastoma, meningioma, and skull base tumors. The surgical team also treats pituitary and brainstem tumors using modern surgical techniques. Having interventional radiology and neurosurgery in one location allows for a complete treatment plan. The hospital holds JCI accreditation, confirming it follows international safety and quality standards.
Services for International Patients
Hisar Hospital Intercontinental offers support for patients traveling from other countries. The clinic provides free interpreters in over 15 languages to help with communication. Patients receive airport-hospital-hotel transfers to make travel smoother. For those undergoing surgery, a standard hospital room is included in the treatment costs.
