About the clinic
Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey offers comprehensive lung cancer diagnosis and treatment. Diagnostic lung biopsy costs between $4,300 and $7,200. The hospital is JCI accredited and uses advanced technology for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
The diagnostic process begins with PET-CT scanning to determine disease stage. This costs $700 to $1,250. Doctors also order extensive blood tests including tumor markers and organ function panels. Brain MRI is performed to check for metastases. These tests help create an individualized treatment plan.
Biopsy Procedures
The hospital performs lung biopsies when diagnosis needs confirmation. Biopsy costs $1,400 to $5,000 depending on the technique used. MR fusion biopsy is available for precise targeting. Results guide whether surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy is most appropriate.
After biopsy, pathology review costs from $750. Genetic testing (NGS panel) adds $800 to identify specific mutations. These tests determine if targeted therapy or immunotherapy will work.
Treatment Options
For small cell lung cancer, the standard approach combines chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The regimen uses cisplatin and etoposide for four courses. Concurrent radiotherapy targets the tumor while chemotherapy works throughout the body.
For other lung cancer types, surgery may be recommended. The hospital performs lobectomy and segmentectomy. Robotic surgery is available for suitable candidates. Immunotherapy with Keytruda is offered for advanced cases.
Medical Team
Dr. Sadi Kerem Okutur leads the lung cancer program. He has over 20 years of oncology experience. Dr. Kezban Nur Pilanci, with 22 years of experience, has performed over 900 procedures. Both doctors are medical oncologists specializing in lung cancer.

The doctors are extremely competent, attentive and relevant!
Very good, but I'd come back for a stay of more than 3 days as it's too short to make an assessment. If you don't want to be in a hurry, you need to plan for 5 days on site, preferably outside the weekend! The doctors are extremely competent, attentive and relevant! The hospital is magnificent, large and clean. It has all the technology you need, and despite the wait, I highly recommend memoriall!
The breakfast is delicious. The blood test is painless, and the staff are smiling and reassuring.
Despite the best efforts of the staff, the wait can be a little long. Unfortunately . There really are a lot of people because the treatments are of such high quality!
About Bookimed service
Ali is very friendly, very available and very empathetic. She gave very good, detailed explanations about the treatment. Good to know: on Sundays the hospital does not carry out tests and check-ups and for better organisation, prefer tests and check-ups over several days during the week.

Her and her team were fantastic
I had initially gone to Turkey to consult with a dental clinic there. The initial clinic consultation went a direction that didn't want to go to meet my needs. Bookimed was able to quickly arrange more consultations with other clinics and Bahcelievler Memorial Hospital. I really liked the dental staff and the vision/action plan proposed by Bahcelievler. I quickly decided that they were the best option of all my consultations there in-country. Due to the severity of my dental needs, the Chief of Dentistry (Dr. Esma Sonmez) personally took my case. Her and her team were fantastic. She highly recommended the oral surgeon, part of the hospital, Dr. Celal Gondirll. I highly recommend both of them. Mr. Gondirll communicated clearly the game plan, successfully followed through with a well-performed surgery, and was available for after-care. I needed 24 crowns, with temporaries installed prior to the jaw surgery, and permanents installed post-surgery. Dr Sonmez performed all the crowns herself. In all, everything went very well. My hospital medical coordinators, Ms. Rose and Mr. Masoud, did a great job of coordinating the activities, hospital stay, hotel stay, and shuttle services. It has only been about a week and a half post-surgery, but I am very pleased with the results. I'm sure things will only improve more as the swelling subsides in the coming weeks. None of it would have been possible without my Bookimed coordinator, Winnington, quickly pivoting after my initial consultation going south and arranging the consultation with the hospital. An additional point to mention is that Bahcelievler Memorial Hospital was able to perform all the needed services at a significantly cheaper price. Dr. Sonmez is also very conservative in her approach to dental care and was able to successfully avoid 12 root canals that my initial dental clinic consultations had deemed "required." I would strongly suggest adding a consultation with the hospital prior to finalizing any action plan. Thank you!
The hospital team: Dr. Esma Sonmez and Dr. Gondirll.
There was some confusion and anxiety at times about shuttle arrangements. Everything worked out pretty well, though.

I would like to share my experience of an examination in Turkey. The Bookimed service helped me a lot when choosing a clinic - they quickly selected several options, took into account my wishes and even helped me with the organisation of my trip. In the end, I chose a clinic that fully met my expectations.
The clinic itself was modern, with highly qualified doctors and attentive staff. I was met directly at the airport, accompanied at all stages, and the medical care was top-notch.
A huge thank you to Bookimed for their help in my search and to the clinic for their professionalism and warm welcome! I would recommend this service and clinic to anyone looking for quality treatment abroad.
