CANCER TREATMENT AT ANADOLU

9 oncology departments work on the premises of Anadolu Hospital. Oncologists here specialize in the treatment of breast, skin, gastrointestinal organs cancers, spine and brain tumors.

Anadolu specialists use a unique diagnostic method in the early stages of cancer — CTC (Circulating Tumor Cells), also called as a liquid biopsy. It allows determining cancer even when a tumor is small (5 mm), and cannot be detected with traditional diagnostic methods.

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy without surgery usually takes 6-8 weeks. One radiation cycle lasts 5-20 minutes 5 days a week. After the surgical intervention, radiotherapy takes less time — 4-6 weeks.

Radiation therapy may be combined with chemo, immune and hormone therapies to make the treatment more efficient.

Anadolu Hospital is among a few medical facilities in Turkey to perform radiation therapy with such innovative devices as:

  • CyberKnife
  • Truebeam.

CyberKnife

Cyberknife is a minimally invasive method of radiation therapy. It is used as an alternative to traditional surgery to treat a small or hard-to-reach tumors, cancer relapse.

A patient does not require anesthesia before the procedure. There are no inflammatories and infections after the CyberKnife treatment which are possible during traditional surgery.

The CyberKnife irradiates a tumor with up to 0.5 mm accuracy. That's why the healthy tissues are not damaged.

A doctor determines the longevity of the treatment course individually for each clinical case. Usually, it does not exceed a week. Each session lasts approximately 1-1.5 hours. The treatment is carried out on an outpatient basis, so after the therapy, a patient can immediately return to the normal lifestyle.

Varian Edge

The Varian Edge system is considered the most advanced radiosurgical and radiotherapy technique in the world. It is used to treat cancer anywhere in the body (in the brain, spine, neck, lung, liver, prostate, etc.), at the severe stages of malignancy, and its metastases and relapse.

Varian Edge moves around a patient to target a tumor from many different angles at the high speed. It helps achieve higher accuracy and save healthy tissues. This therapy takes 2-4 times less time than any other radiotherapeutic method. As a result, a patient undergoes treatment 50% more quickly.

Varian Edge is a non-invasive technique. The average duration of the procedure is 15-20 minutes. Anadolu doctors perform this radiotherapeutic method on an outpatient basis. So a patient may returns to their everyday lifestyle just after the therapy.

Surgical oncology

Anadolu surgeons remove tumors with the Da Vinci system. Da Vinci is a surgical robot, designed to carry out the most complex minimally invasive operations in the field of urology, general surgery, gynecology, and thoracic surgery.

Advantages of the Da Vinci robot-assisted surgery:

  • A surgeon makes 3-4 small incisions that reduce pain and give a better cosmetic result (small scars remain).
  • Patients have a shorter period of hospitalization.
  • Because of the small incisions, the risk of infections is minimal.
  • Da Vinci robot helps a surgeon to take control after each step of the operation. The robot has two cameras providing 3D precise images to control the surgery process.

The Anadolu Bone Marrow Transplant Center accepts patients over 16 years old. Specialists perform more than 250 bone marrow transplants annually. Since 2010, Anadolu doctors have conducted over 3,000 bone marrow replacements.

  2. PET-CT is a combination of computed and positron emission tomography. It is the most effective technology for detection cancer at early stages and metastases. It is also used for radiotherapy planning and analysis of the therapeutic response.
  3. Digital mammography with tomosynthesis helps to obtain 2- and 3D high-quality images and perform breast surgery precisely. Cancer is diagnosed in the early stages, which increases the effectiveness of treatment and the chances for complete recovery increase significantly.
  4. Intraoperative MRI 3 Tesla is an innovative imaging device used to identify pathologies throughout the body.

The doctor from the first minute caused complete confidence
Excellent clinic. Very caring and skilled doctors. Despite the fact that I went to the gastrectomy operation alone, without an accompanying person, I did not feel for a single minute without attention and care. Thanks to my wonderful translator Elmira - she has become a real support. Special thanks to my coordinator Bakhtygul - she organized everything as comfortably and professionally as possible. The recovery room is excellent. Bright, with a beautiful view. My deep gratitude to all the staff of the surgical department (floor 1) for their kindness, attention, support, care. The doctor from the first minute caused complete confidence. I think he is a true professional and a wonderful surgeon. I definitely recommend the clinic for a competent, comprehensive examination, and for the treatment of serious problems. Read more less

Dr Abdulcabbar Kartal was present every step of the way
Dr Abdulcabbar Kartal was present every step of the way. I felt well informed on the benefits and risks of the treatment. He checked in on me frequently before and after surgery. He even followed up after I was discharged and I will be seeing him again in 3 months time for another check. He has made it very clear that I can contact him if I ever have any questions. The doctor spoke good English but the interpreters were very helpful and made sure all my questions were answered clearly. The medical staff at Anadolu Medical Center were very attentive and met all my needs. Read more less
The medical staff from doctors to nurses to interpreters were all very attentive and helpful throughout my stay before and after surgery.
The hospital was very busy and there were at times long waiting times for my appointments in the various departments for my pre operation scans and checks.
