About the clinic
Chordoma treatment at Memorial Antalya Hospital in Antalya, Turkey, combines neurosurgical expertise with advanced radiation technology. Diagnostics typically include a neurosurgeon consultation for around $200, an MRI of one area for around $500, and a PET/CT for around $700. The facility holds JCI and ISO accreditations and is known for its use of neuronavigation systems and the TrueBeam STx radiotherapy unit.
Diagnostic options for chordoma
The clinic uses high-resolution imaging to locate these rare bone tumors and plan surgical access. Patients receive results that help determine if the tumor is in the skull base or spine.
Consultation with a neurosurgeon. A specialist review costs around $200 to assess neurological function and surgical feasibility.
3 Tesla MRI. High-field imaging of one area typically runs $500 to show the tumor's relationship to nerves.
PET/CT scan. This imaging is around $700 and helps detect if the disease has spread to other tissues.
Biopsy. Tissue samples are analyzed to confirm the chordoma diagnosis before starting therapy.
Neurosurgical and spinal procedures
Surgery is the primary way to manage chordomas at Memorial Antalya Hospital. The neurosurgery department is led by Prof. Dr. Mahmut AKYÜZ, who specializes in brain and spine surgery. Prof. Dr. Mahmut AKYÜZ uses neuronavigation technology to guide instruments with high precision during delicate operations.
Surgical resection. This is the main treatment for skull base and spinal tumors. Prof. Dr. Mahmut AKYÜZ uses microsurgical techniques to remove as much of the tumor as possible.
Spine tumor surgery. For tumors in the spinal column, the hospital uses a team of specialists. This group includes neurosurgeons, orthopedic experts, and physical therapists.
Neuronavigation-guided surgery. This equipment creates a real-time map of the patient's anatomy. It helps the surgeon avoid critical nerves and blood vessels.
Radiation and targeted therapies
When a tumor cannot be fully removed or returns after surgery, the clinic uses advanced radiation systems. These methods focus energy on the malignant cells while protecting the brain and spinal cord.
TrueBeam STx and Elekta Versa HD. These radiotherapy systems precisely target the chordoma. The technology helps spare healthy tissue located near the spine or skull base.
Targeted therapy. This systemic option uses antibodies to find and attack specific cancer cells. It often causes fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy because it avoids healthy cells.
Adjuvant radiotherapy. Doctors may use radiation after surgery to destroy any remaining microscopic tumor cells.
Memorial Antalya Hospital provides international patients with free airport transfers and a 5-star guest house for comfort during recovery. You can request a consultation with Prof. Dr. Mahmut AKYÜZ by leaving a request on Bookimed.

Patients live in Memorial Guest House designed as a 5-star hotel with comfortable home-like hall and rooms.
Transfer
Memorial Antalya provides free transfer from the airport to the hospital.
Interpreter
Foreign patients can use an interpreting service to communicate with doctors and medical staff if required.
Receiving the very clear aftercare guide was a relief. The clinic has stayed in touch since my rhinoplasty, and the support has been solid. The surgeon and the entire staff were wonderful. One piece of advice for future patients: ask the clinic for specific directions on where to go upon arrival. We were dropped at the hospital door from the airport with no information and felt a bit lost. It was a minor issue. Also, be prepared for some small additional expenses for post-op items like medicine and bandages. Overall, the medical care I received was very good.

The service from both the surgeon and the staff was excellent
The service from both the surgeon and the staff was excellent. My procedure was for Botox injections, specifically targeting only mouth area. The team was professional, and their performance is reflected in the high ratings I gave them. I am still in the early phase of recovery. The amount of product used was a custom number of units, decided upon by the surgeon for my particular case, rather than a standard quantity. The entire process felt very well-managed and organized from a medical standpoint.

The medical care was excellent
The scope of my female check-up was impressive. The medical care was excellent. I liked the range of tests done and how well the doctor explained the results and next steps to be taken. I also liked the fact that it was easy to add on an additional test because the hospital were able to slot me into the list for the test. The interpreters were very pleasant people, but there were some coordination issues. The interpreter disappeared a couple times leaving me to take tests alone with no help, and on one occasion I had to get hospital staff to locate the interpreter for me. I dont mind being left alone to wait but I felt that when tests were being done, the interpreter should have been there to assist.

They helped me here in just one visit
My main concern was that the treatment would not yield real results. However, I had been struggling with my issue for many years, and they helped me here in just one visit. This is true. The entire process was organized very efficiently, and both the surgeon and the entire clinic staff demonstrated high professionalism. I am currently in the early stages of recovery, and there are already positive changes. When asked what could be improved, I couldn't think of anything because everything was perfect. I have no complaints about the clinic or the quality of medical services.
