About the clinic
Radioactive iodine (I-131) therapy treats thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism. This treatment is available at Medipol Mega University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. Prices start at 2,000 USD for a 25 mCi outpatient procedure. The hospital is JCI-accredited, ensuring high international standards of care.
I-131 therapy uses radiation to destroy thyroid cells. It is often used after thyroid surgery to remove any remaining cancer cells. It’s also effective for overactive thyroids. The treatment involves taking a capsule or liquid containing radioactive iodine.
At Medipol Mega University Hospital, you can choose between two I-131 dosage options. The 25 mCi dose costs 2,000 USD and is given on an outpatient basis. A higher dose of 150 mCi costs 3,850 USD and requires a hospital stay of two nights.
The package price includes the I-131 therapy itself. You’ll also receive a consultation with a doctor. Inpatient nights are included if you choose the higher dose option. Medipol Mega University Hospital provides translation of your medical documents.
Before treatment, some preparation is needed. Your TSH level must be above 30 mIU/L. You'll need to follow a low-iodine diet for 10 days before your appointment. Stop taking thyroid medication three weeks prior to therapy.
Professor Dr. Tamer Atasever is a leading specialist in Nuclear Medicine. He offers expertise in I-131 therapy and other nuclear medicine procedures.
Medipol Mega University Hospital is the first hospital in Turkey to receive JCI academic accreditation. This shows their commitment to quality and patient safety. The hospital has equipment for both diagnosis and I-131 treatment, allowing for a full spectrum of care.
If you have thyroid cancer or hyperthyroidism, I-131 therapy may be an option. Contact Medipol Mega University Hospital to discuss your case and discover if this treatment is right for you.

I am delighted with their work
Thank you for everything being fine. Of course there were cons, but in general everything was fine. I really liked it, the meeting was organized, Medipol worked harmoniously. The managers from the clinic helped completely. There is a room with three meals a day, the room is clean, they did not require additional payment. The clinic is very specialized, individual approach to each patient, polite and attentive. Many thanks also to Dmitry and the coordinators in the clinic. Irada, Ainur, Timur, Iran many thanks to each of them for their help with any question and help at any time of the day. In general, I liked everything very much and the quality of work, they move as a single mechanism. Thank you, I am delighted with their work.

The stay in the clinic left only positive emotions
The stay in the clinic left only positive emotions. On the organization's questions, if they were before the arrival at the clinic, then after the arrival the questions disappeared by themselves, everything was organized perfectly, any wishes were fulfilled. The doctor took it immediately on the day of arrival, everything that was planned was appointed, answered all questions immediately and before and after treatment, left a positive impression. Umnichka translators, it was possible to contact them at almost any time, they always helped. I lived in a guest house, everything is fine.

My sister and I were met at the airport, brought to the apartment of the clinic, I note the apartment is very cozy and comfortable with everything you need, the payment is sufficient for any person
I am generally pleased with the clinic and the work of the coordinator. My sister and I were met at the airport, brought to the apartment of the clinic, I note the apartment is very cozy and comfortable with everything you need, the payment is sufficient for any person. She was given chemotherapy, we will see the results later (only 2 weeks have passed). As for me and my examination at the gynecologist, fibroids and uterine pubescence, they said they urgently need to be operated on for a small amount, while the second opinion was not confirmed in another country, which means the gynecologist is not as qualified and the impression of the doctor is just to do the surgery would get the money I did not like.
