This ESMO- and OECI-accredited program offers robotic Whipple for eligible patients, enabling quicker recovery. Dr. Yesim Yildirim leads a weekly multidisciplinary tumor board to review each case. Treatment at the JCI-certified Anadolu Medical Center costs around $33,000 and includes combined chemo and surgery, a 24-hour ICU stay, and 10–12 days of hospitalisation. Patients also get a free 48-hour second-opinion service. The convenient on-campus Titanic Hotel accommodates the 3–5 day pre-operative diagnostic work-up.
