About the clinic
Astrocytoma treatment at Memorial Antalya Hospital in Antalya, Turkey, combines neurosurgical precision with advanced radiation technologies.

The facility holds JCI and ISO accreditations, reflecting its commitment to international medical standards.
Astrocytoma diagnostics
Before starting treatment, patients undergo a detailed evaluation to determine the tumor size and location. These diagnostics help the medical team choose the most effective intervention. The following options are available:
- Consultation with a neurosurgeon. A specialist reviews the medical history and performs a physical exam for around $200.
- MRI of one area. This imaging provides detailed pictures of the brain to locate the astrocytoma for around $500.
- PET/CT scan. This advanced scan helps detect metabolic activity in the tumor and costs around $700.
Surgical treatment options
Surgery is often the first step in treating an astrocytoma. The clinic uses specialized tools to help surgeons remove as much of the tumor as possible. These methods focus on protecting healthy brain tissue during the operation.
- Neuronavigation-guided brain tumor surgery. This system provides a real-time 3D map of the brain. It helps the surgeon navigate precisely to the tumor.
- Intraoperative MRI-guided surgery. Doctors perform an MRI scan while the patient is still in the operating room. This allows them to see if any tumor remains and remove it immediately.
Radiation and systemic therapies
If the tumor cannot be fully removed or to prevent recurrence, the clinic offers non-surgical therapies. A multidisciplinary council follows NCCN and ESMO guidelines to create these plans.
- Radiotherapy with TrueBeam STx. This linear accelerator targets the tumor with high-dose radiation. It spares the surrounding healthy tissue and is performed as an outpatient procedure.
- Chemotherapy. Doctors use a personalized drug regimen to stop the growth of cancer cells. It is often combined with other treatments.
- Targeted therapy. This treatment uses antibodies to attack specific malignant cells. This method typically results in fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy.
The hospital provides support for international patients, including free airport transfers and interpreter services. Patients can also stay at a 5-star guest house during their treatment.
