Qualifications
Irfan Cicin is a Professor of Medical Oncology at Trakya University. He treats solid tumors using systemic therapies. Dr. Cicin practices at Istinye University Liv Hospital Topkapi in Istanbul.
Specialization and Oncology Approach
Dr. Cicin treats cancers affecting the brain, lungs, and digestive system. He uses immunotherapy to help the immune system identify and destroy cancer cells. For patients with late-stage abdominal cancers, he performs Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) – a procedure that delivers heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen. This method helps treat cancer cells that have spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity.
The doctor also treats gynecologic and orthopedic cancers. Additionally, he uses hormone therapy and targeted chemoembolization for liver malignancies. His approach includes the use of Watson for Oncology – an AI tool that analyzes clinical data to provide personalized treatment options for patients.
