Our Primary Cancer Surgery and Treatment Areas:

1. Cancer Surgery

• Breast Cancer Surgery: Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy), mastectomy (simple/radical), sentinel lymph node biopsy, axillary dissection, oncoplastic reconstructive surgery.

• Lung Cancer Surgery: Lobectomy, pneumonectomy, segmentectomy (open or VATS – video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery).

• Gastrointestinal System Cancer Surgery:

  • Stomach Cancer: Subtotal/total gastrectomy, lymph node dissection.

  • Colon and Rectal Cancer: Colectomy, resection, low anterior resection (LAR), abdominoperineal resection (APR).

  • Liver Cancer: Hepatic resection (lobectomy, segmentectomy).

  • Pancreatic Cancer: Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy), distal pancreatectomy.

• Urological Cancer Surgery:

  • Prostate Cancer: Robotic radical prostatectomy (Da Vinci).

  • Kidney Cancer: Partial or radical nephrectomy.

  • Bladder Cancer: Radical cystectomy with ileal conduit or neobladder formation.

• Gynecological Cancer Surgery: Surgical treatment for uterine (endometrial), ovarian, and cervical cancers.

• Head-Neck and Thyroid Cancer Surgery.

• Neuro-oncology Surgery: Brain and spinal cord tumors.

2. Medical Oncology (Drug Therapies)

• Chemotherapy: Application with current protocols and supportive care for greater comfort.

• Targeted Smart Drug Therapies: Treatments targeting the tumor’s specific genetic mutations (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRCA, etc.).

• Immunotherapy (Immune System-Based Treatment): Checkpoint inhibitors (PD-1, PD-L1, CTLA-4 inhibitors) to trigger the body’s immune system to fight cancer.

• Hormonal Therapies: For breast and prostate cancers.

3. Radiation Oncology (Radiotherapy)

• IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy): High dose to the tumor, minimal dose to surrounding healthy tissue.

• IGRT (Image-Guided Radiation Therapy): High precision with imaging during treatment.

• Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Radiotherapy (SBRT): Targeted, high-dose treatment with fewer sessions using systems like CyberKnife and Gamma Knife (for brain, lung, liver tumors).

• Brachytherapy: Placement of a radioactive source inside or near the tumor (prostate, cervical cancer).

4. Nuclear Medicine Treatments

• Radioactive Iodine (RAI) Therapy: For thyroid cancer.

• Radioligand Therapies: Targeted treatments like Lu-177 PSMA for prostate cancer and Lu-177 DOTATATE for neuroendocrine tumors.

5. Hematologic Cancers (Blood and Lymph Node Cancers)

• Treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.

• Bone Marrow (Stem Cell) Transplant: Coordination of autologous or allogeneic transplants.

Your Oncology Treatment Process with Need Health:

• Comprehensive Diagnosis and Staging: Your current findings and biopsy materials are re-evaluated in Turkey. Necessary advanced genomic/proteomic tests (molecular pathology, next-generation sequencing) and imaging (PET-CT, MRI) are rapidly performed to determine the exact type and stage of your disease.

• Tumor Board (Multidisciplinary Consultation – MDT): Your case is discussed in a council with specialists from all relevant oncology fields (surgeon, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, radiologist, pathologist, nuclear medicine specialist). In light of international guidelines, the most effective and current treatment sequence (such as neoadjuvant/chemotherapy followed by surgery) tailored to you is determined.

• Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on your cancer’s genetic profile and clinical condition, the most effective surgical technique, chemotherapy protocol, targeted drug, or immunotherapy option is selected.

• Treatment with Advanced Technology: Surgical interventions can be performed minimally invasively using robotic (Da Vinci) and laparoscopic techniques. Radiotherapy is administered with the most advanced devices.

• Supportive Care and Quality of Life: Supportive care services such as pain management, nutritional counseling, psychosocial support, and physical therapy are integrated throughout your treatment process.

• Flawless Logistics and Process Management: Your entire treatment process in Turkey, along with your accommodation, transfers, translation, and companion needs, are coordinated from a single point by Need Health.

In cancer treatment, time and the right strategy are invaluable. Need Health is your professional and compassionate guide on this challenging journey, ensuring you access the best possible treatment in the fastest and safest way.
