About the clinic

Treatment for chondrosarcoma at Valued Med Hub Hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey, focuses on precise surgical removal of malignant bone cells. A specialized diagnostic package is around $6,300, while individual brain MRI scans may cost $300 and chest CT scans are typically $500. The facility holds the International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish government and operates with over 100 doctors across 20 departments.

Diagnostics for chondrosarcoma

Prof. Dr. Erkan Dogan oversees oncology care for patients undergoing a detailed assessment. The hospital provides both targeted scans and a full diagnostic bundle to map the tumor. These tests help determine the exact stage and location of the cancer before surgery starts.

Consultation with creation of treatment plan. This initial meeting is around $200.
Chondrosarcoma diagnostic package. This includes an oncology consultation, blood and biochemistry tests, a CT scan, and a biopsy for around $6,300.
Imaging studies. Specialized scans include a brain MRI for around $300, an abdominal MRI for $500, or a chest CT for $500.
Colonoscopy. This procedure is available for around $1,600 if required by the oncology team.

Surgical treatment options

Surgery is the primary method to treat chondrosarcoma. The goal is to remove the tumor while preserving as much movement as possible. The medical team chooses the method based on how much the cancer has affected surrounding nerves and blood vessels.

Bone tumor surgery (wide excision). Surgeons remove the tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue. This technique lowers the risk of the cancer coming back.
Limb salvage surgery. Doctors use this method in 85% of primary bone cancer cases. It involves removing the diseased bone and replacing it with a bone graft or a metal prosthesis. Patients typically need follow-up visits every 3 months for the first 2 years.
Amputation. This radical surgery is used if the cancer invades major nerves or if an infection occurs after limb-sparing attempts. The surgeon forms a cuff of muscle and skin to prepare for a prosthesis.

Hospital services and support

Valued Med Hub Hospitals provides a dedicated support system for international patients. Every patient receives airport reception and private transport to the clinic. A personal assistant and an interpreter are available 24/7 to help with any needs during the stay. The hospital is also accredited by the Turkish Medical Association, maintaining high standards for neurosurgery and oncology care.

It was great service

During the procedure, my surgeon talked me through each step, which was very reassuring. This reflected his whole approach—from explaining what vision to expect realistically for my particular issue to personally checking my eyes after the surgery on both was done. It was great service. The communication was great throughout and everything was made clear; the experience was incredibly smooth. I appreciate that the clinic has stayed in touch as I begin my recovery.

It was a very good experience for us and we are grateful for the treatment provided

It was a very good experience for us, and I will use this service in the future if necessary. All the answers to my questions were given. Everything is very organized. They have their own counter at the airport, where they arranged a transfer for us and brought us comfortably to the hotel. We were accompanied everywhere. The price of the service was as agreed in advance. There were no additional payments. I only spent money on my husband's eye drops at the pharmacy, but they're sold at affordable prices. The hospital is very modern, it's a large complex, there's a university nearby. The hospital has a special department for dealing with foreign clients. We didn't run, we weren't looking for anything, Mustafa was with us all the time and made arrangements for everything himself. There were a few days between the diagnosis and surgery, and we managed to book several tours of Istanbul. It helped us relieve the tension of worrying about the surgery. My husband has an agimatism, he got the best lenses in the world that exist right now. These lenses were made specifically for the parameters of his eye. It's been less than a week since the surgery, but my husband says he can see some things even better than he had with glasses before. The rehabilitation is not over yet, he has to drip eye drops on schedule for a month, take care of eyes, and don't lift heavy things and rub eyes. The doctors have done their job, now a lot depends on how clearly my husband adheres to the doctor's recommendations. It was a very good experience for us and we are grateful for the treatment provided.

Thank you very much for your detailed and heartfelt feedback about your experience with VMH Hospitals. We are truly happy to hear that you felt supported, informed, and comfortable throughout the entire process — from the airport transfer to the hotel arrangements, hospital visits, and surgery. Providing a well-organized, transparent, and stress-free experience for our international patients is one of our top priorities. It is especially wonderful to know that your husband is already experiencing improved vision after his astigmatism surgery and customized lens implantation. We are proud to offer the most advanced lens technologies tailored individually to each patient’s eye parameters. We are also pleased that you had the opportunity to explore Istanbul during the waiting period. Feeling relaxed and supported before surgery is an important part of the healing journey, and we are glad Mustafa and our international patient department were able to assist you every step of the way. As you mentioned, the postoperative period is just as important as the surgery itself. Following the doctor’s recommendations carefully — using prescribed eye drops regularly, avoiding heavy lifting, and protecting the eyes — will help ensure the best possible long-term results. Thank you again for your trust and kind words. We wish your husband a smooth and complete recovery, and we are always here for you should you need anything in the future. Warm regards, VMH Hospitals Team

My surgeon's thoroughness was notable

My surgeon's thoroughness was notable. He tested my eyes extensively before we confirmed the final plan for my cataract surgery on both eyes, which were treated a few days apart. The clinic has stayed in touch. My recovery is progressing about as expected. The only extra cost was for eye drops. If you need sedation, I would advise bringing your own. PS. Please bring your sun glasses too.

What I particularly valued was the continuity of care from the surgeon

If you're researching laser eye surgery, the small details of the process are what matter. I opted for the TransPRK procedure. The clinic's protocol involved operating on each of my eyes on separate days, which I viewed as a careful and methodical approach to the surgery. What I particularly valued was the continuity of care from the surgeon. They personally handled every single one of my checkups, from the first consultation to all the follow-up appointments, ensuring I was seeing the same expert throughout. That was important. As I'm still in the early recovery phase, having a clear aftercare guide has been essential, and the one provided was very comprehensive. From a practical standpoint, every aspect of the service, including the surgeon, the support staff, and the clinic environment, was well-executed and professional.

I am very impressed with the quality and standard of the whole process

Communication was great. I was picked up from the hotel, transfered to the hospital, and accompanied by Adam (translator) through the journey. He knew exactly the intake process and what they would want. He was well organized and very friendly. The consultant spoke English and was very calm, and professional. I had femto iLasik which was without complication. Pre-op my prescription was -7. Day 0 post op, I could still see but with blurry vision. Day 1 post op, my vision is now 20/20. But eyes feel gritty but hopefully will ease in a few days. I am very impressed with the quality and standard of the whole process. I would highly recommend Turkey for medical tourism. It's affordable and a beautiful clean city to visit as well. Stupendous experience.
