About the clinic
Pancreatic cancer treatment at Memorial Göztepe Hospital in Istanbul involves advanced surgical techniques and precision radiation therapy. Diagnostics typically start with an oncologist consultation for around $300, while extended blood analysis may cost around $700. The hospital holds JCI accreditation and uses a multidisciplinary tumor board to plan every patient case.
Advanced diagnostic imaging
Doctors use high-resolution tools to locate tumors and check for spread. These tests help the medical team choose the best surgical or systemic approach. Patients have access to several diagnostic steps:
- Oncologist consultation. A specialist reviews the medical history and physical symptoms.
- Extended blood analysis. This test checks for tumor markers and organ function.
- Digital PET/CT. This scan helps identify cancer cells throughout the body.
- 3 Tesla MRI and 512-slice CT. These provide detailed images of the pancreas and nearby vessels.
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). This allows for close-up imaging and tissue samples if needed.
Surgical and ablation options
The hospital specializes in complex surgeries and minimally invasive alternatives for tumors near critical structures. Surgeons use the da Vinci XI robotic system for high precision and smaller incisions. Available procedures include:
- Whipple procedure. This surgery removes the pancreatic head, gallbladder, and part of the bile duct. It usually requires 7 to 10 days of hospital stay.
- Nanoknife (IRE) ablation. This uses electrical pulses to treat inoperable tumors. It is helpful when the cancer is too close to major blood vessels for traditional surgery.
- Distal pancreatectomy. Surgeons remove the body and tail of the pancreas to preserve as much healthy tissue as possible.
- Total pancreatectomy. This involves removing the entire pancreas, the spleen, and parts of the stomach and intestine.
Radiation and systemic therapy
Memorial Göztepe Hospital uses adaptive radiation technology to protect healthy organs. The MR Linac system provides real-time imaging during treatment to account for internal body movements. Other options include:
- TrueBeam STx and Elekta Versa HD. these machines deliver precise radiation doses to the tumor site.
- Chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The clinic offers systemic treatments to shrink tumors before surgery or manage advanced stages.
- Palliative stenting. This procedure helps relieve jaundice and improves comfort for patients with bile duct blockages.

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.
