About the clinic
Gastric metaplasia management at Istinye University Liv Hospital Bahcesehir in Istanbul focuses on precise diagnostic monitoring and infectious trigger eradication. Patients can access a variety of services, where an abdominal CT scan typically costs around $200, a PET/CT scan is around $700, and a biopsy may cost around $2,000. This university hospital holds JCI accreditation and uses advanced endoscopy systems to track changes in the stomach lining.
Diagnostic and surveillance options
The clinic uses a multidisciplinary team to monitor gastric tissue changes and detect potential risks early. Specialists focus on identifying the specific type of metaplasia and checking for H. pylori, which often drives the condition. The following diagnostic tools are available:
- 13C Urea breath test. This non-invasive test detects H. pylori infection and confirms if the bacteria have been successfully removed.
- Upper GI endoscopy. Doctors perform an esophagogastroduodenoscopy to visually inspect the stomach lining and collect tissue samples.
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). This advanced procedure uses sound waves from within the stomach to evaluate the wall layers and nearby structures in detail.
- Biopsy. Specialists take small tissue samples from the gastric mucosa to confirm metaplasia and check for abnormal cell growth.
- Imaging scans. Abdominal CT and PET/CT scans provide additional support for monitoring lesions or evaluating the extent of gastric changes.
Treatment and monitoring methods
Management strategies at Istinye University Liv Hospital Bahcesehir aim to prevent the progression of metaplasia into more serious conditions. The clinical team provides both medical and surgical interventions depending on the case severity.
- Endoscopic surveillance. Regular monitoring with biopsy helps track dysplastic changes and determines the frequency of follow-up care.
- H. pylori eradication monitoring. By using the urea breath test, doctors verify that the infectious trigger is gone, which is vital for stomach health.
- Gastroenterological surgery. If the condition leads to complicated ulcers or neoplastic growth, the clinic offers minimally invasive or open surgery options.
The hospital is located 40 minutes from Istanbul New Airport and features international patient services to help with the visit. The facility is a Center of Excellence that combines university-level research with advanced surgical capabilities.

Cancer treatment
Doctors of the Oncology Department accept children and adults.
PET-CT is available here for an accurate diagnosing and individual treatment plan development. Using PET-CT, doctors can detect even the smallest tumors up to 1 mm in size.
The Istinye oncologists carry out such cancer treatments as:
Laparoscopy
This method is considered the most minimally invasive — the operation is performed through small incisions of 0.5-5 cm. In contrast, an open intervention requires the 10-15 cm incision.
Laparoscopy minimizes the damage of healthy tissues and blood loss, so the patient recovers faster than after open surgery.
Chemotherapy
The Istinye Liv oncologists apply chemotherapy for comprehensive cancer treatment. There are such types of chemo as:
- neoadjuvant — prescribed before radiation therapy or surgery to remove the tumor
- adjuvant — used after the surgery or radiotherapy.
Radiotherapy
Radiation therapy is used for benign and malignant tumors treatment with ionizing radiation. It destroys cancer cells and therefore stops the development of the disease.
Radiotherapy is prescribed both independently and in combination with other cancer treatment methods.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
RFA affects the tumor with a high temperature of radiofrequency waves. During the procedure, the doctor uses an ultrasound or CT scan to accurately direct the radiofrequency waves and not damage the healthy tissues.
Radiofrequency ablation is used to treat small neoplasms up to 3 cm in bones, lungs, liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, and prostate gland.
Immunotherapy
This cancer treatment method stimulates the immune system to fight the tumor, so the body can recognize cancer cells and destroy them.
According to the hospital data, immunotherapy is the most effective for Hodgkin's lymphoma, melanoma, neck tumors, lungs, breast, kidney, and bladder treatment. Immunotherapy does not cause side effects compared with chemotherapy.
Neurosurgery
Neurosurgeons accept patients with spinal cord, brain, and peripheral nervous system disorders. To make the operations as safe and effective as possible, doctors use:
- neuronavigation — the computer technologies that allow the surgeon to control the movements of tools with an accuracy of 1 mm;
- neuromonitoring — a computerized system that allows not to affect the brain functions.
For operations on the brain and spinal cord, doctors perform microsurgery, an intervention enlarging and illuminating the operated area that allows minimizing the risk of bleeding.
Organ transplant
The Istinye specialists perform organ transplants for adults and children. They carry out liver and kidney transplant operations along with complex interventions like simultaneous transplantation of several organs.
The Organ Transplant Department is headed by Professor Ayhan Dinсkan who performed more than 1,000 liver transplants and 5,000 kidney transplants in children and adults. The success rate of the donor organ acceptance is 91.7%, as Istinye Liv Hospital reports.
Urology
The Istinye urologists conduct surgical treatment of urolithiasis (stones), cysts, acute renal failure, prostate diseases and congenital malformations of the urinary system. Doctors accept adults and children for treatment.
