About the clinic

Nasopharyngeal cancer treatment at Memorial Göztepe Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, focuses on high-precision radiotherapy and personalized systemic therapies. Diagnostic steps range from a $90 neurosurgeon consultation to a $280 oncologist consultation and $700 for extended blood work. The hospital is known for its multidisciplinary tumor boards and advanced equipment like the MR Linac and TrueBeam STx.

Advanced diagnostic methods

Accurate staging and planning are vital for successful outcomes. The hospital uses modern imaging and lab tests to determine the exact extent of the tumor. Patients undergo evaluation using AI-supported technology and high-resolution scanning.

  • Consultation with a neurosurgeon. Initial evaluation costs around $90.
  • Consultation with an oncologist. Includes the creation of a treatment plan for around $280.
  • Extended analysis of blood. A detailed lab assessment typically costs around $700.
  • Advanced imaging. The clinic uses a 512-slice CT, Digital PET/CT, and AI-supported 3 Tesla MRI for precise tumor mapping.

Treatment options for nasopharyngeal cancer

Radiotherapy is the primary method for treating this condition. The hospital uses the Elekta Versa HD Signature and TrueBeam STx to deliver high-dose radiation directly to the tumor while protecting nearby healthy tissue. For more complex cases, the MR Linac provides real-time imaging during treatment.

Systemic therapies are also available, with a dedicated unit that can treat 40+ patients simultaneously. Options include:

  • Chemotherapy. Personalized protocols based on tumor genetics and clinical profiles.
  • Targeted therapy. Smart molecule treatments designed to attack specific cancer markers.
  • Immunotherapy. Immune-based treatments that help the body recognize and fight cancer cells.
  • Robotic surgery. The da Vinci XI system allows for minimally invasive head and neck procedures when surgery is necessary.

Prof. Dr. Ali Cemal Yumuşakhuylu leads the surgical efforts for head and neck cancers. He has over 15 years of experience and completed a clinical fellowship at the Ohio State University James Cancer Research Center. Dr. Yumuşakhuylu is a member of the European Board of Otorhinolaryngology and the American Academy of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Foundation.

Nothing could have been better

My biggest concern was traveling alone, especially after having to make a last-minute booking. I booked on the Friday and flew to Istanbul on the Sunday, but being a lone traveller was not a problem at all. The Memorial was a lovely hospital. My surgeon was fantastic; he was honest about the right Motiva implant size for my body, showed photos of similar cases, and explained the risks of combining an anchor lift with implants. The whole process was great from start to finish. I'm feeling better than expected, and the end results are better than I ever could have expected. Nothing could have been better. The only additional expense was my discharge medication, which wasn’t even £7. I have been so pleased, I will hopefully be booking for a tummy tuck next year.
The whole process was great from start to finish. I only booked on the Friday as I was having big concerns about the surgery I had previously booked in April 2026, for September 2026, through another company. Booked on Friday, flew out to Istanbul on the Sunday and flying back home today. The Memorial was a lovely hospital and I couldn’t have asked to be looked after better. I was a lone traveller, but this was not a problem at all. My surgeon was fantastic and the end results are better than I ever could have expected. I have been so pleased with my experience, I will hopefully be booking for a tummy tuck next year. If you are thinking about surgery in Istanbul, I can honestly recommend using Bookimed.
Nothing could have been better, my whole experience was excellent.

Honestly, my recovery so far has been better than expected

The price was exactly as agreed. My surgery for Turbinate reduction also included a septoplasty to straighten my septum, and fix my concha bullosa. Done under general anesthesia. Honestly, my recovery so far has been better than expected. The support has been solid; the clinic stayed in touch, and it was particularly helpful that my doctor was available to answer all of my follow-up questions. That provided a lot of reassurance. Everything really felt like a luxury first class experience. After half my life living off nasal sprays and congestion I’m now ready to live the other part of life with a nose that breathes! Just go for it. Lifes too short to put up with suffering that can be medically fixed!
Warm Doctor and staff, feels like a luxury first class experience.

my recovery from reconstructive vaginoplasty has been much better than expected

If you're thinking about this procedure, I'd tell you that my recovery from reconstructive vaginoplasty has been much better than expected. The whole process felt very supported. It was so helpful that my surgeon took the time to explain the dilation schedule clearly, which made me feel confident about aftercare. The clinic staff have also stayed in touch since I left. Do be aware that you'll need to pay for medications you take with you from the hospital. A final tip: bring your own sanitary towels and be sure to budget extra money for travel, food, and sightseeing, as hotel stays generally only cover breakfast.
Great fast response from Bookimed very helpful information and hospital referral liliia was very helpful in giving me information and guidance

The surgeon and staff were fantastic

The surgeon and staff were fantastic. I'm in the early phase of healing now; while I’m still slightly tired and my mobility is a bit reduced, I can feel myself getting stronger daily. It’s a steady process. Looking back, my only personal regret is that I wish I knew more Turkish to connect with people directly. That said, the translation provided was great and everything was communicated clearly. The whole process was handled with care.
Dorian was excellent. All the staff were great and made the experience so much more pleasant. Dr Akdimar is the very best physician I have ever seen. He was patient and caring. He helped me deal with a complicated and stressful process. I would recommend both Dr Akdimar and Memorial to my friends and family.
I really ant imagine better are and service.
