Radiotherapy for lung cancer in Hisar Hospital Intercontinental
About the clinic
Radiotherapy for lung cancer at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul, Turkey, uses advanced MR-LINAC technology to target tumors with high precision. This treatment plan is managed by an expert oncology team in a facility accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI). Patients benefit from real-time imaging that helps protect healthy lung tissue during the procedure.
Advanced Radiation Technology
The hospital is one of only three centers in Istanbul to house the 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Linear Accelerator (MR-LINAC). This system combines high-strength MRI imaging with a radiation beam. It allows doctors to see the tumor clearly while it is being treated. Because the lungs move when a patient breathes, real-time MRI guidance is vital. It makes sure the radiation hits the tumor and avoids the surrounding healthy organs.
In addition to MR-LINAC, the clinic uses a standard Linear Accelerator (LINAC). This device delivers high-energy photon or electron beams directly to the cancer cells. These technologies allow the medical team to deliver higher doses of radiation with fewer side effects than traditional methods. The choice of machine depends on the specific location and size of the lung tumor.
Personalized Oncology Care
Radiation therapy at Hisar Hospital follows a multidisciplinary approach. A team of specialists, including Assoc. Prof. Dr. Görkem Türkkan, reviews each case to create a custom plan. Before treatment starts, patients undergo a diagnostic workup. This often includes CT scans, PET scans, and a biopsy to confirm the stage of the cancer. Depending on the diagnosis, radiotherapy might be used alone or alongside other treatments:
- Surgery to remove the main tumor mass
- Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells throughout the body
- Targeted therapy to attack specific cancer proteins
- Immunotherapy to help the immune system fight the disease
