How are we doing?
About the clinic
Hemicolectomy for metastatic colorectal cancer is available at Memorial Şişli Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The preliminary program cost may be around $4,563. A key advantage is the hospital's high patient rating and its accreditation by the Joint Commission International.
This hospital was the first in Turkey to receive JCI accreditation. It maintains a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 322 patient reviews. 91% of these patients recommend the facility to others.
The surgery program typically includes several services. This helps simplify the process for international patients.
- Hemicolectomy surgery
- Oncologist consultation
- VIP transfers between airport, hotel, and clinic
- Translator support during the clinic stay
- Hotel booking assistance
The package may not include airfare, most hotel costs, or chemotherapy. A recommended hospital stay after surgery is 3 to 5 days.
The medical team uses minimally invasive surgical techniques. This can lead to smaller incisions and a faster recovery. Treatment follows leading international protocols from NCCN and ESMO.
A thorough assessment is a crucial first step. Doctors often recommend a PET-CT scan upon arrival. This helps accurately assess metastasis.
Genetic testing on pathology samples may also be advised. This information helps optimize the overall treatment plan. Surgery is typically followed by chemotherapy to target remaining cancer cells.
The hospital specializes in oncology. It is equipped with advanced radiotherapy systems like TrueBeam STx. This technology allows for precise tumor targeting.
Patients can also start with a diagnostic package. A consultation with a doctor and a PET-CT scan may cost around $800. This option includes two nights of hotel accommodation.
For those seeking a second opinion, a pathology review is available. Re-examining tissue samples typically costs around $500.
The final cost for any treatment plan is determined after an in-person consultation. To discuss your specific case and receive a personal quote, you can request a consultation via Bookimed.
