Cuneyt Turkmen

Prof. Dr. Cuneyt Turkmen is a nuclear medicine specialist at Memorial Şişli Hospital. The doctor specializes in radioembolization and targeted radionuclide therapy for liver and prostate cancer. He treats patients with cancer using nuclear medicine techniques. These methods use radioactive substances to find and destroy cancer cells.

Nuclear Medicine Expertise

Dr. Turkmen uses advanced imaging and targeted treatments for malignant tumors. He uses Lutetium-177 and Actinium-225 radiation therapies to treat complex cases. His approach includes specialized techniques for thyroid cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. Furthermore, the specialist performs Amyloid PET scans for precise neurological diagnostics.

Advanced Procedures

The doctor performs several precision radiation treatments. These include Cyber Knife and Gamma Knife – types of robotic radiosurgery that deliver radiation to tumors without surgery. He also provides brachytherapy and IMRT radiotherapy. These methods allow for high radiation doses while protecting healthy tissues.
