Prostate cancer diagnostics and treatment are available at the JCI-accredited VM Medical Park Florya Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. Diagnostic services may cost around $600 for an MRI, while advanced imaging like PET/CT is typically around $1,500-$1,800. The clinic is a designated Center of Excellence in robotic surgery and has an affiliation with Johns Hopkins.
Diagnostic Services
The clinic provides a full suite of diagnostics. This helps to accurately stage and plan treatment for prostate cancer. Available imaging and testing include:
- MRI of one area to visualize the prostate and surrounding tissues.
- PET/CT scan to detect potential spread of cancer cells.
- Genetic screening for more personalized treatment approaches.
- Prostate biopsy for a definitive tissue diagnosis.
Brachytherapy Treatment
A key treatment option for prostate cancer at the clinic is brachytherapy. This is a form of internal radiation therapy. It involves implanting tiny radioactive seeds directly into the prostate gland.
This method delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor. It helps spare surrounding healthy tissues. The preliminary cost for the brachytherapy procedure is around $750. This price covers the radiation therapy itself.
It does not include flights, airport transfers, hotel stays, or any additional medical services. Each patient's final treatment plan and cost is determined individually.
For patients requiring surgery, the hospital's Center of Excellence in robotic surgery provides access to advanced, minimally invasive procedures. The 300-bed facility has 13 modern operating theaters to support complex care. If you are considering prostate cancer treatment options, you can request a consultation to review your diagnostic results and discuss a personalized plan.
