Targeted therapy in Neolife Medical Center
About the clinic
Targeted therapy at Neolife Medical Center in Istanbul, Türkiye, uses cancer drugs selected through molecular testing. The JCI-accredited center matches treatment to tumor mutations and reviews complex cases through its Multidisciplinary Tumor Board.
How targeted therapy works
These systemic anticancer drugs act on specific parts of cancer cells. They may block a cell-surface receptor or an enzyme inside the cell, slowing cancer cell growth.
Some drugs also block signals that tell cells to multiply or stop blood vessels from feeding a tumor. Treatment may be given by mouth or through an intravenous line.
Choosing a treatment plan
Medical Genetics mutation analysis and molecular diagnostic tests help guide drug selection. A personalized plan is created for each patient, with complex cases reviewed by the Multidisciplinary Tumor Board.
Targeted therapy is generally used for advanced cancers. Some targeted drugs are also used for early-stage breast cancer, while studies in this area continue.
The treatment can be used for many cancer types, including breast cancer and malignant melanoma. It may also be combined with chemotherapy, which can increase chemotherapy’s effect.
Testing and support at Neolife
The center has PET/CT, MRI, CT, and molecular diagnostic testing. Its oncology services follow international treatment guidelines.
Patients receive close monitoring during treatment. Supportive care can address side effects, nutrition, pain, and emotional or social needs. Neolife is also ISO 9001 certified and part of Bozlu Holding’s network in Türkiye and Romania.
