Cancer screening in Urologica Clinic
About the clinic
Cancer screening at Urologica Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, focuses on the early detection of urological malignancies. The facility provides screenings for prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancers through a structured diagnostic protocol. This clinic holds JCI accreditation, confirming its adherence to international safety and clinical standards for diagnostic procedures.
Diagnostic Methods and Tools
The screening process utilizes specific blood tests and imaging to identify abnormal growths or markers. Specialists perform physical examinations alongside lab work to evaluate organ health.
- PSA blood test. Measures protein levels to screen for prostate cancer risks.
- Tumor marker panel. Includes tests for AFP, Beta-hCG, and LDH to detect various urological cancers.
- Digital rectal exam. A physical assessment recommended for men starting at age 50, or 45 with family history.
- Transrectal ultrasonography. Provides detailed imaging of the prostate gland.
- Scrotal ultrasound. Used to examine the testicles for masses or fluid.
- MR-fusion biopsy. Available if imaging shows a suspicious lesion, combining MRI and ultrasound for precision.
- Advanced imaging. CT and MRI scans are conducted when clinically indicated for deeper evaluation.
Clinic Features and Setting
Urologica Clinic operates as an outpatient facility in Istanbul. The center has on-site capabilities for imaging and biopsy, which streamlines the diagnostic journey for international patients. While no specific fasting is required for the initial tests, the clinic uses a first visit to conduct a physical exam and necessary lab work. Early detection of kidney cancer at this facility is associated with a 90% cure rate.
Patients interested in a urological assessment can leave a request on Bookimed to begin the diagnostic process.

Urological Oncology and Kidney Cancer Care
The oncology department treats kidney, bladder, and prostate cancers. For kidney cancer, the clinic reports a 90% cure rate for early-stage (T1–T2) tumors. Surgeons perform partial nephrectomy to spare healthy tissue when possible.
Treatment follows a multidisciplinary approach. The surgical team coordinates with medical oncology, radiation oncology, and pathology specialists. Kidney cancer patients typically stay 3–5 days. Full return to normal activities usually takes 4–6 weeks.
For bladder cancer, the clinic offers several diagnostic and therapeutic procedures:
- TURBT (transurethral resection of bladder tumor)
- Fluorescence cystoscopy for precise tumor detection
- Radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive disease
- Intravesical chemotherapy and BCG therapy
Advanced imaging supports diagnostic accuracy. The clinic uses MR-fusion biopsy for prostate cancer. This technology combines MRI scans with real-time ultrasound for precise tissue sampling.
Male Sexual Health and BPH Treatments
Urologica specializes in treating erectile dysfunction and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The clinic uses HoLEP technology for enlarged prostates of all sizes. This holmium laser technique separates the adenoma from the capsule without external incisions.
HoLEP requires just 1–2 days in hospital. The clinic reports a recurrence risk below 1%. Other BPH options include GreenLight laser vaporization and TURP.
For male sexual health, the clinic specializes in 3-piece inflatable penile implants. These implants provide a natural appearance and sensation. Brands include Boston Scientific, Coloplast, and Rigicon. A four-stage recovery plan guides patients from surgery to implant activation at 6 weeks.
Technologies and Diagnostic Equipment
The surgical suites support robotic, laparoscopic, and endoscopic procedures. The team uses the Da Vinci Robotic System for complex urological surgeries. This allows smaller incisions and faster recovery.
Diagnostic capabilities include:
- Urodynamics to assess bladder and urethral function
- Color Doppler ultrasound of the scrotum
- Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)
- Narrow band imaging (NBI) for cystoscopy
The clinic also offers non-surgical therapies. These include P-Shot (Priapus Shot) and shock wave therapy (ESWT) for vascular-related erectile dysfunction.
International Patient Services
Urologica provides structured support for patients traveling from abroad. Staff coordinate airport transfers and hotel accommodations. Language support is available in English and Arabic.
International patients receive remote follow-up to monitor recovery after returning home. The clinic offers free pre-evaluation via WhatsApp, so specialists can review medical history before travel. Follow-up check-ups are scheduled at 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year.
