About the clinic
Bladder cancer treatment at Memorial Antalya Hospital in Antalya, Turkey, is managed by a multidisciplinary oncology council following NCCN and ESMO protocols. Diagnostics for the condition typically include an MRI of one area for around $500 and a PET/CT scan for about $700. The hospital holds JCI and ISO accreditations and is known for its advanced robotic surgery center and radiation therapy unit.
Diagnostic and staging procedures
The clinic uses a combination of imaging and endoscopic techniques to determine the stage and type of cancer. These procedures help specialists create an individualized plan for each patient.
- MRI of one area. This imaging tool helps locate tumors and assess their size for around $500.
- PET/CT scan. A detailed scan that identifies cancer spread throughout the body for about $700.
- Transurethral resection (TUR). This endoscopic procedure allows doctors to remove tissue samples through the urethra for staging without external incisions.
Surgical treatment options
Surgery is a primary method for treating bladder cancer, ranging from local removal to complete organ replacement. Prof. Dr. Erdal Kukul specializes in these urological procedures at the hospital.
- Transurethral resection (TUR) surgery. Used for non-muscle invasive cancer, this method uses a U-shaped wire and electric current to remove the tumor. Doctors may follow this with intravesical chemotherapy for 6 to 8 weeks to prevent recurrence.
- Robotic radical cystectomy with neobladder. Using the da Vinci surgical system, surgeons remove the bladder and lymph nodes through small ports. The surgeon then creates a new bladder from the patient's intestine and connects it to the urethra. This fully closed procedure reduces the risk of infection and fluid loss.
Non-surgical therapies
The oncology center provides systemic and targeted treatments to stop cancer growth or treat cases where surgery is not the primary option.
- Radiotherapy with TrueBeam STx. This linear accelerator targets tumors with high precision while sparing healthy tissue. Over 80% of oncology patients at this hospital receive radiation therapy.
- Chemotherapy. Drugs are selected based on the specific case and may be administered into the bladder directly after a TUR procedure.
- Targeted therapy. This treatment uses antibodies to attack malignant cells specifically, which results in fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy.
- Immunotherapy. Biological therapy is available to help the immune system recognize and destroy cancer cells.
International patients receive support including free airport transfers, interpreters, and accommodation in a 5-star guest house. You can request a consultation with the medical team at Memorial Antalya Hospital through Bookimed.
