Larynx cancer Treatment in Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ ENT Surgery & Medical Aesthetics (KBB)

About the clinic

Larynx cancer treatment at Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ ENT Surgery & Medical Aesthetics in Istanbul, Turkey, focuses on advanced head and neck oncology. Care is led by Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ, a specialist with over 20 years of experience who has published 30+ international articles in his field. The clinic uses function-preserving techniques to help patients keep their voice and swallowing abilities after surgery.

Diagnostic methods for larynx cancer

Accurate staging is the first step in creating a treatment plan. The clinic uses imaging and tissue samples to determine the tumor size and location. Diagnostic options include:

Physical examination. The doctor checks the neck and throat for abnormalities.
Laryngoscopy. This procedure uses a thin tube to view the larynx directly.
Biopsy. Tissue samples are taken via fine needle aspiration, excisional, or incisional methods.
Imaging scans. These include neck ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, and PET scans to check for cancer spread.

Treatment and surgical options

The clinic provides a full range of therapies, from organ-preserving surgeries to advanced medical oncology. Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ performs these procedures at Memorial Göztepe Hospital, a facility equipped for complex head and neck cases.

Partial laryngectomy. This surgery removes only the diseased part of the larynx. It aims to preserve the natural voice and normal breathing.
Total laryngectomy. The surgeon removes the entire larynx during a 3-6 hour operation. This requires general anesthesia and a hospital stay of 1-2 weeks. It involves a permanent tracheostomy for breathing.
Radiotherapy. Patients receive daily high-energy ray treatments as outpatients to destroy cancer cells.
Chemotherapy. This systemic drug therapy often works alongside radiotherapy to preserve the vocal organs.
Immunotherapy and targeted therapy. These modern biologic treatments stimulate the immune system or target specific mutations in the cancer cells.

Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ previously served at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital and brings extensive expertise to every case. The clinic assists international patients with travel and accommodation needs to ensure a smooth medical journey. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss your personalized treatment plan.

Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ ENT Surgery & Medical Aesthetics (KBB): more details about the clinic

Turkey, Istanbul

Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ ENT Surgery & Medical Aesthetics is a private single-doctor practice in Istanbul's Ataşehir district. The clinic specializes in otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery on the Asian side of the city. Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ and Dr. Özlem Topdağ lead operations.

Specialized Medical Background

Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ graduated from Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine's English department. He completed his otolaryngology residency at Kocaeli University. His career includes positions at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital and Memorial Göztepe Hospital.

The practice has a strong academic foundation. Prof. Dr. Topdağ has authored over 30 international SCI articles. His research appears in Otology & Neurotology and the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery. This academic focus supports function-preserving surgical planning for complex cases.

Advanced Rhinoplasty Techniques

The clinic offers several surgical and non-surgical options for nasal correction. Surgeons perform structural, preservation, and ethnic rhinoplasty. They also handle revision procedures for patients with prior unsuccessful surgeries. Non-surgical options include hyaluronic acid fillers and Botox for subtle changes.

Specialists use Piezo ultrasonic technology for precise bone shaping. This method relies on ultrasonic waves to cut bone tissue. Because it spares surrounding vessels and nerves, patients experience less swelling and trauma. Many patients return home the same day.

Surgical planning involves 3D computer simulations. Patients can see potential post-operative results during consultation. For closed rhinoplasty, surgeons make incisions only inside the nostrils. This prevents visible scarring and speeds up healing.

Head and Neck Oncology

The clinic treats various malignant conditions of the head and neck. Specialists manage cancers affecting these areas:

Tongue and oral cavity
Larynx (voice box)
Thyroid and salivary glands
Paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity
Ear and inner ear tumors

Treatment plans match tumor stage and patient health. Options include surgical excision, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. For advanced tongue cancer, the clinic offers immunotherapy to boost the immune response. Thyroid cancer care follows a multidisciplinary approach with ENT and endocrinology specialists.

Otolaryngology and Rehabilitation Services

Beyond surgery, the practice addresses chronic ENT conditions and balance disorders. The team manages deviated septums, nasal polyps, and chronic sinusitis. Functional surgeries like endoscopic septoplasty correct internal deviations to improve breathing. Recovery typically requires nasal splints for about one week.

Patients with peripheral vertigo receive specialized balance recovery services. The clinic provides vestibular rehabilitation for conditions like BPPV and vestibular neuritis. This program combines symptom relief with long-term exercises to restore stable movement.

Diagnostics and Technology

The clinic uses diverse imaging and diagnostic tools for accurate treatment planning:

CT and MRI scans
PET/CT imaging
Laryngoscopy for throat examinations
Thyroid ultrasound and biopsies
Nasal endoscopy and audiometry

Physicians review these results to determine if surgery or non-invasive management is needed. Before any procedure, patients undergo a full health evaluation covering allergies and surgical history.

Services for International Patients

The clinic provides medical services in English for international visitors. Medical reports and educational materials are available in English. The team offers accommodation support for out-of-town patients. Most surgical patients receive home-care instructions and follow-up schedules before discharge.

I had a rhinoplasty surgery with Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ. During the surgery, I was 17 years old. It has been a year since my operation, and I’m sure that choosing to have my surgery with Murat Bey was one of the right decisions I made. Because of my age, my mother had concerns, but thanks to the trust and reassurance Murat Bey gave, she allowed me to have the surgery with peace of mind. My nose shape became so harmonious with my face that every time I look in the mirror, I feel very happy. I would like to thank Murat Bey and Özlem Hanım, the doctor’s wife who entered the operating room, very much for my natural and beautiful nose. I definitely recommend Murat Bey and his team to anyone who wants to have rhinoplasty at a young age like me. Thank you very much for everything.

Prof. Dr. Murat Topdağ performed my daughter’s rhinoplasty surgery. Murat Bey is a highly successful doctor who can combine his knowledge, experience, and talent with his work. Together with his dedicated team, they did everything they could to help my daughter get through the process easily. And of course, the result was perfect. A year has passed since the surgery—her nose shape has fully settled in and now looks natural, flawless, and in harmony with her facial features. From the very beginning, the confidence Murat Bey gave us, his professional approach, and being there for us in every one of our questions always made me, as a mother, feel very at ease. Seeing my daughter’s happiness and satisfaction with her beautiful and healthy nose is priceless for us. Thank you endlessly to you and your team for your effort, your friendly demeanor, and the wonderful change you’ve added to my daughter’s life. I recommend Murat Bey to all patients looking for the right doctor they can trust—without hesitation.

In an area where I’ve been feeling both fear and anxiety for a long time, I got a result much more successful than I expected. The doctor’s calmness and approach truly make you feel confident—throughout the process, I always felt safe. The outcome of the surgery was so natural that most people don’t even realize it’s aesthetic. Not only in terms of appearance, but my nasal problems that I’ve had for years were completely solved as well. My complaints like constant sneezing and runny nose have almost entirely disappeared. I heard that at many places I went, they were very impressed both with the shape and the function. I was so satisfied that my sister also decided to have surgery. I recommend it to everyone with a peace of mind— I truly think he is one of the best doctors in this field.

My delayed nose surgery, which I had postponed for a long time, was carried out recently by my dear Murat Hoca. From the very beginning to the end of the process, the care, friendly smile, and professionalism he showed were wonderful. Thanks to Murat Hoca, I also went through the post-surgery period very comfortably; now I can breathe so easily. I would also like to thank Aysu Hanım, a clinic staff member who made my life easier by responding to every question quickly and providing accurate information at the right time. Thank you very much to Murat Bey and his team for all their efforts.

It’s been five years since I was diagnosed with tongue cancer. At the recommendation of the radiologist who assessed my condition at the time, I went to see Professor Murat Topdağ. He successfully removed the tumor through surgery without the need for any additional treatment. After the operation, I did not have the slightest problem with my speech or using my tongue. Over the five years since then, all the checkups and tests I’ve had have also come back clean. With each visit, I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Murat and his valuable team for giving me confidence by patiently answering every question in my mind. I also wish all patients seeking recovery to regain their health as soon as possible.

My mother had a cholesteatoma surgery about two months ago. During both the process before and after the operation, they were extremely attentive and caring. After the surgery, we had no hope that she would be able to hear again. However, even right after the operation, her hearing was better than before. Throughout this process, both Murat Hocam’s wife and his assistant, Aysu Hanım, did not leave us alone in any way. We were very stressed, but they kept informing us all the time. Since my mother was abroad, she went there for her 2nd-month check-up, and the doctor said that the surgery had been performed perfectly. I would like to thank them very, very much for their care and attention. From now on, our only ENT doctor is Murat Hocam. I recommend them to everyone with complete peace of mind. 🙏🏻

Mr. Murat operated on my mother’s nose surgery about 10 years ago. We were all very pleased with him and the entire process—he was the doctor who encouraged me to get my own surgery 🙏

Murat Hocam is the teacher who ended my struggle to breathe with just one nostril for 35 years, and made me feel so grateful—he’s the one who made me say “good thing it happened.” For years, I couldn’t get the nasal surgery I needed because of my fears and anxieties. Murat Hocam explained everything to us in the most open, detailed way, and in every way possible he gave us incredible confidence. Even though we spoke with many doctors, we made our decision in favor of Murat Hocam—and we’re so glad we did. He supported us with his team throughout every stage before and after the surgery. He answered every question we had without getting tired, and his place in my heart is very special. I’m so glad our paths crossed. If you’re unsure about choosing a doctor, you can entrust yourself to Murat Hocam without blinking 💕 I’m writing this on the 15th day of my surgery, and on the 4th day I was able to go out. Now I can breathe—I also have a very sweet-looking nose. Thank you, Özlem Hocam and Murat Hocam, for your efforts 🙏 I would also like to thank our assistant, Ms. Aysu, for everything—she was always by my side and never let her support be missing.
