About the clinic
Breast cancer surgery is available at Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. A breast-conserving lumpectomy with sentinel node biopsy may cost around $11,000 USD. The hospital's key advantage is its JCI accreditation combined with eco-friendly, patient-centered design, making it a unique choice for international patients.
The clinic provides several surgical options based on individual tumor characteristics. These include breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) or full mastectomy. Reconstruction with implants is also available. Advanced intraoperative techniques are standard. Surgeons use a gamma probe for precise sentinel lymph node mapping. They also perform frozen section histology during surgery for immediate analysis.
Surgery Options and Details
A lumpectomy with sentinel node biopsy typically involves one night in the hospital. A more extensive bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction may cost around $35,000 USD. This option usually requires a two-night hospital stay. The treatment plan is always personalized. For some patients, systemic therapy like chemotherapy may be recommended before surgery.
Pre-Operative Requirements
Patients need specific diagnostics before surgery. A pathology review of tumor markers is required. This checks for ER, PR, Her2, and Ki67. A PET-CT scan is needed to rule out metastasis. A breast MRI with contrast provides detailed imaging. A mammogram or ultrasound is also part of the workup. Patients must share records of any prior breast surgery.

Memorial Bahçelievler in Istanbul was established at the beginning of 2018. It is the 11th hospital of the largest network of medical centers in Turkey — Memorial Healthcare Group. Hospitals, which belong to this network, are famous for their achievements in cancer treatment and organ transplant. According to the statistics, the success rate of the kidney transplant is 99%, the liver — 93.5%.
Memorial Bahçelievler Hastanesi is located in Istanbul, 5 minutes by car from Istanbul Ataturk International Airport.
Advantages of Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital
The high level of equipment. The hospital has one of the most technologically advanced infrastructures in the world. The complete examination of the body is made on Magnetom Skyra 3T MRI for several minutes. Its specific structure allows diagnosing patients with overweight and claustrophobia. The noise level is reduced by 97% compared to the previous apparatuses, so even children feel comfortable during the examination. The clinic has Elekta Versa HD SIGNATURE — an innovative radiotherapy system. It accurately determines the location, shape, size of the tumor, the required dose of radiation, and adapts to the patient's breathing. These features make the procedure efficient and safe — only malignant cells are exposed to radiation, and the surrounding healthy tissues are protected. Elekta Versa HD SIGNATURE provides high-dose irradiation as well. Thus, the duration of the procedure is reduced by 3 times, compared to radiosurgical interventions on devices of the older generation.
“Green hospital” conception. Memorial Bahçelievler rooms are designed in that way to positively affect the patient's psychological condition. Only living hypoallergenic plants are used in the design.
Coordination of international patients. Each patient has a personal coordinator who will inform about all diagnostics and treatment steps, arrange transfer and medical interpreter services.

Doctors of the Department of Urology specialize in the treatment of prostate cancer, bladder, kidney and organ transplantation.
Robotic kidney transplant
Doctors provide kidney transplant using the Da Vinci robot, a high-precision surgical unit that minimizes the risks of postoperative complications. The robot has the camera, which transmits a three-dimensional image of the operated area to the surgical team. The image is 15 times scaled up so doctors can see the structures of the organ, veins in the smallest detail and perform their actions as accurately as possible. The additional benefit is the elimination of the human factor as possible shaking hands. Patient recovery after robotic transplant is much faster than after open surgery.

I was left with only positive emotions after the consultation
First of all I would like to thank the Bookimed support team, especially the coordinators for the work they did and putting together the programme in the shortest possible time. I requested an online consultation with a Turkish oncology professor and was pleasantly surprised that within 48 hours after the request my consultation took place. I was left with only positive emotions after the consultation. Special thanks to the coordinator Yulia Voloshchuk and Anya Patarkalashvili!
Excellent organisation and ability to listen and hear individual patient needs .

"The doctors' approach is good"
Nobody offered us a ward, and if we offered we couldn’t pay it, it’s about 500 dollars a day, the doctors’ approach is good, but I think we should warn the patient about his future expenses and give an alternative for treatment because he’s not ready for such expenses, thereby putting people in an awkward position by themselves, the procedures are very expensive or perhaps it seems to us expensive because we did not quite think about their prices like that. I think when you come to this clinic with a complex form of the disease, you need to have a good wallet, now I don’t have enough pills for treatment because it costs more than $ 1,700, I don’t have that much money, you know what to do after that. Maybe I'm complaining off topic, but it touched me during treatment, it would be nice if the clinic has its own hotel at a more affordable price. We counted on a week and stayed for a month. This is the fee for the room, this is the food for additional expenses that were not considered. Well, something like this, and no one cares about our capabilities.
