I would like to thank the Bookimed team and the MediPol team for their excellent service ❤️
Admittedly, when I booked the surgery, I was a little sceptical that everything would go well. After all, everything was done online. However, I was very impressed with how good and friendly the constant communication was. I was already feeling increasingly confident here. I also received very good, uninterrupted and professional treatment and care on site. My doctor Dr Burak and my contact person Olivia were very friendly and incredibly helpful. The transfers - to/from the airport or to follow up appointments at the clinic - were very good and reliable. The contact persons at Bookimed also contacted me regularly and enquired about my well-being. I am very pleased with the outcome of the surgery and am pleased to be recovering quickly and well. Dr Burak continues to monitor me now and I feel I am being very well looked after. His instructions are clear and very helpful. I would like to thank the Bookimed team and the MediPol team for their excellent service ❤️.

Qualifications
Assoc. Prof. Atakan Topçu is a medical oncologist at Medipol Acıbadem District Hospital. He specializes in treating solid tumors through immunotherapy and targeted therapies. Dr. Topçu sits on the editorial board of BMC Cancer and has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers.
Specialization and Oncology Approach
Dr. Topçu treats a wide range of solid tumors. His primary focus includes cancers of the lung, breast, colorectal system, and stomach. He also treats neuroendocrine tumors and geriatric oncology cases. He applies targeted therapies and immunotherapy to provide care for advanced malignancies.
The doctor addresses secondary complications that often affect cancer outcomes. These include malnutrition, cachexia, and sarcopenia, which is the loss of muscle mass and strength. He uses the CONUT score—a screening tool that evaluates serum albumin, total cholesterol, and lymphocyte count—to assess nutritional status. This approach helps improve the effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and overall prognosis.
