How are we doing?
About the clinic
Surgical excision of fibroadenoma is a procedure to remove a common, non-cancerous breast tumor. It is performed at Memorial Şişli Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The biopsy procedure for diagnosis typically costs around $2,200 USD. The clinic's main advantage is its status as the first hospital in Turkey accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI), ensuring high international safety standards.
The hospital recommends an ultrasound-guided breast biopsy to confirm the diagnosis, especially for a first detection. If prior images from the last 6-12 months exist, doctors will compare them. The general approach may involve watchful waiting for tumors that cause no symptoms. Treatment is considered if symptoms develop.
The clinic's oncology department follows globally recognized NCCN and ESMO protocols. This ensures treatment plans align with international best practices. Memorial Şişli is a large multidisciplinary medical center. It treats patients from 92 countries each year, giving it extensive experience with international patient needs.
Procedure and Support Package
The biopsy is a key part of the diagnostic process. A consultation with a specialist oncologist-mammologist may cost around $160 USD. A detailed pathology examination of the tissue sample typically starts from around $540 USD.
The support package for international patients is comprehensive. It is designed to make the medical trip seamless.
