Our goal is to eradicate the tumor while protecting healthy tissues, thereby enabling patients to lead healthy lives. At Acıbadem, surgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical oncologists collaborate closely to provide comprehensive care and achieve the best possible outcomes for patients.
By bringing together coordinated cancer care under one roof, Acıbadem transforms the way patients access their doctors and all healthcare services, leading to a unique patient experience.
Acıbadem is committed to ensuring that every patient with cancer has access to the best care possible. We combine expertise, compassionate care, and advanced technologies to cultivate the safest and most effective treatments for numerous cancer types, including:
Acıbadem Oncology is the primary destination for managing and treating cancer and provides services for the full spectrum of cancers. Modern techniques are used in an individualized, patient-oriented approach. At Acıbadem, every cancer patient receives an individualized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs. Treatment may comprise any combination of various options.
Surgically removing the tumor successfully is often the most effective approach to eliminating many types of cancer. Therefore surgery often stands out as the primary treatment for many types of cancer, offering the best chance of cure if the tumor can be completely removed from the body. The success of tumor resection significantly influences a patient's likelihood of cure and survival rate; it also increases subsequent treatments’ efficiency.
At Acıbadem, cancer surgery is primarily performed using minimally invasive approaches, utilizing specific surgical instruments instead of traditional open surgery. Additionally, Acıbadem surgeons have extensive experience in robotic surgery, an advanced form of laparoscopic surgery. Robotic surgery empowers surgeons to perform operations using tools attached onto robotic arms. Not only does minimally invasive surgery allow for better outcomes, it also facilitates quicker recovery and reduces the risk of complications.
At Acıbadem, all systemic therapies can be employed in the treatment of cancer.
Chemotherapy medicines circulate via the bloodstream to destroy cancerous cells, throughout the body. Thus, it is utilized to treat cancer almost anywhere in the body.
Immunotherapy aims at enhancing the immune response by medicines, enabling the immune system to distinguish, target, and destroy cancer cells more effectively.
Targeted therapy, is a cancer treatment targeting the genetic changes or mutations that turn healthy cells into cancer cells. Unlike traditional treatments, targeted medicines are designed to attack specific abnormalities within cancer cells.
Hormone therapy is used in the treatment of certain cancer types that rely on hormones for growth, such as prostate cancer and breast cancer.
Advancements in radiation techniques have revolutionized cancer treatment with radiotherapy emerging as one of the most promising modalities. Today, radiotherapy is recognized as a valuable treatment option for many types of cancer. For the past 25 years, Acıbadem has been at the forefront of utilizing the most advanced radiotherapy technologies to deliver an effective cancer treatment. In essence, radiation oncology employs radiation to eliminate tumor cells. Through precisely delivered beams of radiation, it is possible to eradicate or shrink cancer without the need for surgical intervention. Radiotherapy can be applied as the primary treatment or used after the surgery to minimize the risk of recurrence.
Acıbadem is a world leader in healthcare services and has long been a ray of hope in Türkiye for patients with cancer who seek better treatment options from the entire planet.
Illustrating the improved outcomes of cancer treatment through application of all these treatment options could be more tangible for patients and their relatives through a narrative.
A 57-year-old Ethiopian lady applied to Acıbadem with a breast cancer diagnosis. She had applied to different clinics and met with different doctors in her country, only to realize that she needed to receive comprehensive treatment. Around that time, one of her friends suggested Acıbadem Hospital in Istanbul, where her husband had received bladder cancer treatment earlier. She contacted Acıbadem Information Office in Addis Ababa, and on the following week, she flew from Addis Ababa to Istanbul for a consultation with the doctors at Acıbadem Hospital. She met with a breast surgeon who explained the treatment plan involving chemotherapy to shrink the tumor initially, followed by a safe and effective tumor resection, and finally, radiotherapy to ensure the destruction of all cancer cells, enhance outcomes, and reduce the risk of recurrence. She also met with a breast radiologist and medical oncologist and received detailed information about the disease and treatment steps.
Treatment began with chemotherapy regimens, followed by the surgical removal of the tumor. She underwent a less extensive surgery called a breast-conserving procedure, which involved excising the tumor with a safe margin of surrounding healthy cells instead of the entire breast, while preserving the natural shape and appearance of the breast to the greatest extent possible. After the surgery, she received a single session of radiotherapy while the incision was still not closed, a technique known as Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT). Simultaneously, the plastic surgeon performed the breast reconstruction procedure and recreated the shape of the breast. Today, our patient has been cancer-free for more than 3 years, which is wonderful.
