About the clinic
Chemotherapy for lung cancer at Memorial Ataşehir Hospital in Istanbul provides systemic treatment for all stages of the disease. The hospital belongs to a healthcare group that treats 1.6 million patients from over 90 countries every year. This facility holds a JCI accreditation and was the first in the health sector to receive a LEED Platinum certificate.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Treatment plans are created by multidisciplinary Memorial Oncology Councils. These councils bring together experts from different fields to tailor a strategy for each patient. The medical team chooses between classic chemotherapy, targeted drug therapies, or immunotherapy. Medical Oncology Specialist Prof. Dr. Nur ŞENER focuses on these systemic treatments to target cancer cells throughout the body.
The Chemotherapy Process
The treatment usually involves a combination of two chemotherapy drugs. These are given either orally or intravenously in fully equipped outpatient centers. Some patients may stay in the hospital depending on their specific drug type or overall health. A standard schedule repeats in cycles every 21 to 28 days. For those who have already had surgery, chemotherapy ideally begins within three weeks after the operation.
Safety and Monitoring
Safety is a priority during every stage of the drug regimen. Specially trained chemotherapy nurses manage the administration of all treatments. Before every new cycle, patients must complete a full blood count. A medical oncology clinic check happens after each cycle to monitor progress. First-time patients receive an additional recheck about one week after their first session. Doctors assess side effects during these visits and adjust drug doses when necessary.

Memorial Ataşehir Hospital provides services to make the process easier for international visitors. The hospital offers free airport transfers and interpreter services to help with communication. Patients stay in wards with one or two beds that include a private WC, television, and WiFi. These amenities help maintain comfort during the recovery periods between treatment cycles.
