"Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level
Hello, my name is Vladislav Ivanov, Ukraine, Odessa city. In February 2021, my daughter Vlada was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, we went to the doctors for a week trying to find out why the child started having severe headaches. They went through examinations, did an MRI, and as a fact, they found a brain tumor. That's when the ground slipped from under my feet. Realization has come - this has already happened, which means you need to quickly take action. The first thing we did was go to the children's hospital in Kyiv, the child was given a shunt. But unfortunately, fluid began to collect in my head and my vision began to fall sharply. The doctors explained that an operation was urgently needed. We did not have a large accumulated amount, and we decided to complete the operation abroad. We contacted Bookmed. We contacted the employee Marina. Marina quickly found a clinic for us in Turkey, organized a trip for us, flew to Turkey in a matter of days. The hospital was already waiting for us. Examined, took blood for tests and the next day an operation was scheduled. Everything went well. Then they underwent a course of radiotherapy. The results are positive, we were sent home to Ukraine (August 2021). Every 3 months they underwent MRI, the pictures were good .. But a year later, in March 2022, we heard the terrible words “relapse”, “war”. Hastily collected the necessary documents and left for Lviv. From there, by large buses, all children with cancer began to be taken out along the humanitarian corridor from Ukraine to Europe. The daughter and his wife were assigned to France. A second operation was performed, the tumor was removed, and after that a course of chemotherapy was prescribed. After a month of taking the course, the doctor said that chemotherapy was not helping. The doctor suggested experimental chemotherapy, but that didn't help either. As a result, the daughter is getting worse and worse every day. The child began to walk badly, the right leg and handle practically do not work. The child melted before my eyes. It's all very scary, but it's worse to leave Vlad without an opportunity for treatment. I again turned to Marina Bookmed Marina again very quickly found us a hospital in Turkey, helped us with the flight Paris Istanbul. Arrived at the hospital 2 days later, the operation was successful!!! After the operation, the child began to talk, swallow, and after a couple of days to walk. What I want to say Bookmed in particular Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level. Marina many thanks to you and your team THANK YOU. Read more less

Hello, we are from Kazakhstan. Came here for diagnosis and treatment of my son. We really liked the clinic. Neurologist Barış Metin explained everything to us in detail. We learned a lot about my son's illness. My son has hydrocephalus and even after the tests we found out that he has epilepsy, the VP-shunt works at an accelerated rate, so my son did not develop. Now we are receiving treatment. We hope it helps insha Allah. I also liked the staff, especially the translators, I forgot the names, but one of them even knows the Kazakh language. It was super convenient. Thank you very much Bookimed, you are the best, you helped us a lot, especially thanks to Oksana and Anna, they always answered on time and put up with us for more than a month. Praise be to Allah everything went well.

I had some logistical problems leading up to my arrival, but i got great help from translator whom helped me throughout my stay, with translations as well as guiding me through the stepps by Wassim. He really did a great job with helping me understand and setting up everything as much as possible to enable me to have as much of a successful productive visit as I could, which I very much appreciate. The coordinator at the location also did a good job of trying to piece together a solution as we tried to find out if I could see some specific doctors whilst i was there which im thankful for.

LIV Hospital services are very much in line with and in no way inferior to the world level, believe me, because due to health problems of my family, we had to see clinics in the USA, China, South Korea, Israel. From the very first call I felt great care for me as a loved one. Many thanks to Sabina, Nigina - coordinators / translators, they did a great job, we could contact them at any time of the day and they supported the patient with all their hearts. Please note that everything here is based on Turkish, only doctors can communicate in English. It can be seen how much Turkey has advanced and is self-sufficient. I am grateful to fate that I met the professor - neurosurgeon Chagatay Ozturk. Easy to communicate, concise, it is immediately clear that the highest level specialist, after the examination, identified the problem and showed it on the MRI scan and explained what was to come. An operation was performed to remove the hernia on L5-S1 and a titanium disc was installed. The atmosphere of the team was very favorable and cozy, there was a high level of coherence and discipline. The concern was such that I did not feel any pain or heaviness, although they say that the operation was not an easy one. On the second day after the operation, I already walked and on the sixth day I was already discharged. Finally I got rid of pain and sleepless nights over the years! I recommend to everyone, wizards work here - professionals in their field! Best regards, Gaziz Kissym Kazakhstan

FAQ about Brain tumor Treatment in Turkey

How to choose the best hospital for a brain tumor?

While choosing the hospital for brain tumor treatment, take into account:

  • Location of the brain tumor hospital. Choose the brain tumor hospital which is faster to reach from your country. It mainly concerns cases when a patient needs an urgent surgical intervention.
  • Neurosurgeon’s qualification. Experienced doctors undergo practice at the world leading medical centers, they have certificates and positive patients’ reviews. Doctors of the best brain tumor treatment centers remove a tumor applying special surgical robot. It provides higher accuracy and shortens rehab period. Pay attention that world-renowned neurosurgeons may ask for a higher fee.
  • Availability of neuronavigation system. It helps a doctor controlling all the movements to decrease the possibility of healthy brain tissues damaging during surgery.
  • The success rate of a brain tumor removal. The brain tumor treatment centers in the world represent high recovery rate and long life expectancy after surgery. So check this info before choosing the brain tumor hospital.

Where are top brain tumor treatment centers located?

The best hospitals for a brain tumor are located in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Germany and Spain are among the best countries to treat brain tumor in Europe. Thailand, South Korea, and India — are top ones in Asia; Turkey — in the Middle East.

These countries offer different prices for the brain tumor treatment, but the quality of therapy remains at about the same level because all procedures are performed according to the strict international treatment protocols. The cost varies due to general price policy within the country and income of local citizens.

How is a brain tumor diagnosed abroad?

Before the development of a treatment plan, doctors appoint diagnostic procedures. Depending on the symptoms and type of a suspected tumor, a specialist may prescribe:

  • blood and urine tests
  • consultation with an ophthalmologist
  • examination of the eyeground
  • MRI (with or without contrast)
  • PET-CT
  • tumor biopsy.

Specialists apply safe biopsy method — brain tumor puncture at the best brain tumor centers. A neurosurgeon receives a sample of tissue using a thin needle. It is inserted through the 3-4 mm incision.

If a patient has already undergone treatment in another hospital and want to get a second medical opinion, it is necessary to show a neurosurgeon all the medical records and MRI-images. You can also have all necessary tests after arrival to the chosen hospital.

How is a brain tumor treated in world's top treatment centers?

Surgical treatment of brain tumor

  • Removal of a brain tumor applying Awake Craniotomy technique

During the surgery, a patient remains conscious and follows neurosurgeon’s recommendations. It allows detecting brain areas which control vital functions of an organism and avoid their damaging. Surgery is conducted under local anesthesia that is why the operation is painless for a patient.

  • Transnasal removal of a tumor

It is used to remove the brain tumor without surgery. A doctor does not make any incision but removes neoplasm through the sinuses.

  • Neuroendoscopy

A tumor is removed through 1.5-2 cm openings in the skull. It reduces injury rate and shortens postoperative rehabilitation. Endoscopic tools penetrate in the distant brain areas which are hard-to-reach while applying other surgical methods. The procedure requires special microsurgical equipment and high degree of neurosurgeon’s skills.

Non-surgical brain tumor treatment

  • Radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery

Among the brain tumor treatment options are CyberKnife and Truebeam with Novalis linear accelerator (state-of-the-art modification of GammaKnife). These systems influence the neoplasm cells with radioactive irradiation and destroy them.

  • Chemotherapy

Except for standard chemotherapy regimen, doctors of the best brain tumor centers apply intracranial chemotherapy for malignant brain tumors. A surgeon places special plates with a drug right in the brain. It reduces side effects and damage to the rest of the organs. Intracranial chemotherapy is considered as a new treatment for brain tumors.

These options are not standard ones. They are appointed individually after a consultation with a doctor.
