Our specialist physicians from many branches are working together under the leadership of our Medical Oncologists against cancer. So how does the process work? In three stages: rapid diagnosis, accurate staging, up-to-date treatment.
For rapid diagnosis, blood tests, imaging methods, MRI, computed tomography, ultrasound and pathological examination of the parts taken by needle biopsy or classical biopsy procedure are performed first. In addition, our patients can also be diagnosed from samples taken during surgery with the “Frozen method” within a period of 15 minutes. If the pathology result indicates cancer, our Medical Oncologist switches to the “staging” part, which directly affects the success of the treatment. Cancers can spread at different speeds in the organs and tissues they affect, and different treatment methods are required. With the correct staging, the recovery success of patients also increases when cancers start to be treated, so accurate and fast staging is very important for appropriate treatment. In order to determine the stages of cancer, diagnostic techniques that will measure the spread of cancerous cells are applied, while our Medical Oncologists evaluate the suitability of diagnostic methods. The main diagnostic methods used in determining the stages of cancer and diagnosing cancer are; biopsy, MRI, CT, ultrasound, PET-CT.
Our Medical Oncologists determine the most appropriate, accurate and up-to-date treatment for our patients from chemotherapy, targeted drugs, immunotherapy, radiation therapy in the light of the data obtained and carry out long-term follow-up of patients.
