Hormone therapy for prostate cancer in Hisar Hospital Intercontinental
About the clinic
Hormone therapy for prostate cancer at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul, Turkey, is a specialized treatment designed to slow tumor growth by blocking male hormones. This medical service is provided at a JCI-accredited facility known for its multidisciplinary oncology team and advanced imaging technology. The hospital offers personalized plans that often combine medication with radiotherapy to lower the risk of the cancer returning.
Personalized Hormone Therapy Protocol
Prostate cancer cells often rely on male hormones, such as testosterone, to grow and spread. Hormone therapy, also called endocrine therapy, works by reducing these hormone levels or blocking their effects on the body. At Hisar Hospital, medical oncologists and urologists collaborate to create a treatment plan specific to the stage of the cancer. Patients typically receive these medications as supplements or injections to manage the disease effectively.
The oncology team at Hisar Hospital includes specialists such as Prof. Dr. Süleyman Alıcı and Specialist Dr. Rahib Hasanov. They work alongside urology experts like Prof. Dr. Cenk Acar and Prof. Dr. Basri Çakıroğlu. This integrated care model helps identify the best timing for starting therapy. In many cases, doctors use hormone therapy along with radiotherapy. This combined approach helps shrink the tumor and prevents it from recurring after the initial treatment finishes.
Advanced Oncology at Hisar Hospital
Hisar Hospital Intercontinental holds JCI accreditation, which marks its commitment to international safety standards. The facility uses advanced tools like MR-LINAC for precise imaging and treatment delivery. These technologies help the medical team monitor how the tumor responds to the hormone block in real time. The hospital serves patients across several specialties, including oncology, urology, and hematology.
- Multidisciplinary Care: A team of surgical and radiation oncologists reviews every case.
- Integrated Methods: Hormone supplements are paired with radiation to improve long-term outcomes.
- International Support: The hospital provides airport transfers to help patients arrive safely.
- Language Assistance: Interpreters are available in over 15 languages for clear communication.
Treatment plans depend on individual health factors and the specific stage of the tumor. You can leave a request on Bookimed to receive a personalized consultation regarding your therapy options.
