About the clinic
Rectal cancer care at Neolife Medical Center in Istanbul, Türkiye, includes diagnostic imaging, drug therapy, radiation, and surgery. An online radiation oncology consultation may cost around $200, brain MRI around $500, PET/CT around $700, and whole-body MRI around $1,200–$1,300. The clinic holds JCI accreditation and reviews cases through a multidisciplinary tumor board.
Rectal cancer diagnosis
Testing can help assess the tumor and guide treatment planning. Options include imaging, tissue sampling, and genetic testing.
- Imaging: Brain MRI, whole-body MRI, CT scan, PET/CT, and chest X-ray are available.
- Other tests: Colonoscopy, endorectal ultrasound, blood tests, biopsy with pathology, and hereditary cancer panels are offered.
- Consultations: Patients can request an online radiation oncology consultation or a consultation that includes a treatment plan.
Surgery and drug treatment
The surgical plan depends on the tumor’s position and whether the anal sphincter can be preserved.
- Abdominoperineal resection (APR) with end colostomy: The surgeon removes the tumor, rectum, and anal sphincter. The colon is connected to an opening in the lower abdomen.
- Coloanal anastomosis: This option removes the rectum and connects the colon to the anus, directly or with a colonic pouch. It may be considered when the tumor is at least 1 cm above the top of the anal sphincter.
- Chemotherapy: Two or more drugs may be given before or after surgery, alongside radiation. Treatment before surgery can shrink the tumor; treatment afterward can reduce recurrence risk.
- Immunotherapy and targeted therapy: These systemic treatment options are also available.
Radiation options and equipment
Radiation may be given before or after surgery. The clinic’s equipment includes the Trilogy System, TrueBeam STx, and Elekta Versa HD.
- External beam radiotherapy: Radiation beams are directed at the tumor from outside the body.
- Brachytherapy: Fine tubes placed in or near the tumor deliver radiation inside the body.
- IMRT with image-guided radiotherapy: Imaging and computer planning shape the dose around the tumor while limiting exposure to nearby tissue.
- SRS/SBRT: Precisely aimed, high-dose radiation is delivered in one or a few outpatient sessions.
Medical oncologist Dr. Vildan Kayku trained at Hacettepe University’s Oncology Institute and belongs to the Turkish Medical Oncology Association. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

"May the Lord bless you and your team, good health
Neolife Clinic has a very high level of medicine. She was examined after AVM radiosurgery of the brain. Thank you Prof. Ahmet OBER, MD for the limitations, clarifications, and answers to my questions, everything was clear. Also, thanks to Ms. Rosie, who was the translator, she also arranged the transfer, the hotel, and the support throughout the survey. Everything was organized at a high level. From Bookimed, I thank coordinator Annie. May the Lord bless you and your team, good health. Sincerely, Tatiana from Ukraine.

I hope that the recommendations and, most importantly, the proposed way of treatment will give a positive result
The clinic and staff are credible. I hope that the recommendations and, most importantly, the proposed way of treatment will give a positive result. Thanks to Anna for her clear promise. The only tremendous rudeness of the transport company. If this situation does not change, then the next time I will calmly get on my own by taxi.

"And in the rest, everything was wonderful
Everything was very good, meeting, hotel accommodation, transfer, carrying out the research, deciphering out and explaining Mr. Dr. Nesrin ASLAN. Although the conversation was through an interpreter, it was noticeable that Mr. ASLAN really wanted me to understand everything. Thank you for that. Immediately additional studies were conducted to exclude or confirm a possible disease.
However, the prepaid consultation with Dr.Evrim METCALFE-Specialist in Radiation Oncologi did not work out well, and the doctor could not answer a series of questions,. The conversation was conducted through an interpreter, but the doctor does not know how to work through an interpreter, she always spoke, not allowing the translator to translate for me. On my objections and demands to listen to my questions, she became irritated and just left us all and left, explaining this by the fact that she was waiting for the sick.
And in the rest, everything was wonderful. Probably all this was due to the lack of a Russian-speaking doctor at that time, and there is one in the clinic.
