About the clinic

Memorial Antalya Hospital in Turkey provides full-spectrum care for thyroid cancer. A range of services is offered, from initial diagnostics costing around $130 for a consultation to comprehensive surgical packages. The hospital's surgeons have extensive experience and operate in a facility accredited by JCI and affiliated with Johns Hopkins University.

Thyroid Cancer Diagnostics

Accurate diagnosis guides the treatment plan. The clinic offers a full set of diagnostic tools. The process begins with a consultation with an oncologist. Key diagnostic procedures include:

Thyroid Ultrasound: This is often included in diagnostic packages.
PET/CT Scan: This advanced imaging may cost around $700.
CT Scan: A detailed scan typically runs $400-600.
Blood Analysis: Biochemical tests help evaluate thyroid function.

These tests help determine the cancer type, stage, and spread.

Thyroid Cancer Treatment Options

Surgery is the primary treatment for thyroid cancer. The surgical approach depends on the tumor's size and location. The experienced surgical team at Memorial Antalya performs two main procedures.

Total Thyroidectomy removes the entire thyroid gland. It often includes dissection of neck lymph nodes. This surgery aims to eliminate all cancerous tissue. The comprehensive package typically costs around $13,000. It includes surgery, a two-day hospital stay, pathology tests, and follow-up care. Airport transfers and translator services are also provided.

Thyroid Resection is a partial removal of the gland. This option is considered for smaller or less aggressive cancers. The final decision is made after a full endocrinological examination. This procedure may cost around $7,700. It covers the surgery and the necessary hospital stay.

Expert Surgical Team

Dr. Alihan Gurkan, a general surgeon, leads many procedures. He has 28 years of surgical experience. Dr. Gurkan has performed over 1,100 operations. His expertise includes thyroid and general surgery.

Personally, I was satisfied 👍

Honest review!!! Had a gastrochecap! I was satisfied with the procedure! Fast, competent, everything was clear and accessible! The price is average (in Germany, for example, the same procedure is three times more expensive 🤷‍♂️)! The whole procedure lasted 20 minutes under sedation! Results and recommendations were immediately within 5 minutes after the procedure! During the procedure (endoscopy and colonoscopy) I did not feel the slightest discomfort! I can confidently recommend this clinic! Personally, I was satisfied 👍

Quickness of service delivery!

Dr lux, good doctor

Dr lux , quality , no bruising after rhinoplasty , good doctor . I was hungry, the hotel can be found better for such money. The nurse after the operation pricked 3 times hands not qualitatively. Who has fear to needles, blood, and I have this fear, on my request to call a specialist, I was refused. And so everything is good, fast healing . I recommend the doctor . 7 day after surgery

Good and friendly staff, met and went straight to all necessary lab tests

Good and friendly staff, met and went straight to all necessary lab tests. Breakfast is included in the check-up. We had to wait a bit for answers from doctors and laboratory. Cafe, toilets, lifts all within easy reach. Recommend. Next year we will also go for check-ups for both children and adults.

Attentive staff

Long wait for answers, even if you pay you still wait in a queue.

This service works at the highest level thanks to such managers

In a very quick time Bookimed manager (introduced himself as Stanislav) found the best offer from various options that I found in terms of quality, price and location. This service works at the highest level thanks to such managers. I have forwarded this service to several friends from Turkey to use it too. The clinic is 100% satisfied with the results, examination, competence, speed and attitude. There was a wonderful girl interpreter, who professionally performed her work and at the same time with humanity treated us as patients (and this is very often lacking in hospitals).

Everything from the start of my enquiry to the results and the doctor's treatment.

In general, the price in Turkey certainly shocked, but of all the options that we found in this country, it was the most acceptable option

About Bookimed service

Top service, top manager, service that is really needed and helps in difficult situations. When you often move and just do not know how the medical field works in different countries and you need to improve your health, these guys can you absolutely professional and (in my case) quickly find the right option! Bravo!

Bottom line: I recommend from the heart! Fast, professional, all the patient's wishes are taken into account! Thank you and prosperity to you!!!♥️

My Mum had a neurological check-up. We are very grateful that finally the problem with headaches has been solved! For more than two years, doctors of clinics in Europe and Ukraine, could not solve this issue, prescribing antidepressants, etc. Arrived at the clinic at 8:50 am, without delay was provided, very nice interpreter Irada. We promptly took analyses, MRI, ultrasound, consultation with a competent neurologist who paid attention to the problem that was causing the headaches for a long time. Appointed the right treatment with a positive result! Attention from the clinic also deserves a special thanks, Mum and her husband were fed a delicious lunch! Tatiana our medical coordinator, also deserves thanks for the feedback and wishes that we voiced to her were taken into account and fulfilled 💯 Bottom line: I recommend from the heart! Fast, professional, all the patient's wishes are taken into account! Thank you and prosperity to you!!!♥️

Loved it all!
