Intracranial aneurysm - a protrusion of the vessel wall with localization in the brain is especially dangerous due to the risk of stroke, and therefore requires careful diagnosis and early detection.

The University Hospital Medipol have all the resources for a 100% diagnostic cerebral artery aneurysm:

Intracerebral angiography is a method of X-ray diagnostics of blood vessels using a contrast agent, which allows to reveal the shape, size and degree of vasoconstriction / expansion. Research is carried out by the method:

  • CT angiography is a painless non-invasive diagnosis of cerebral vessels, which allows you to examine the vessels in as much detail as possible;
  • MRI angiography is a high-precision layer-by- layer imaging of the brain that allows you to obtain three-dimensional images and cross-sections of blood vessels.

Cerebrospinal fluid analysis - performed in patients to detect intracranial (subarachnoid) hemorrhage.

General clinical diagnostics (complete blood biochemistry, coagulogram, visual tests).

The cost of diagnosing a vascular aneurysm

  • Neurosurgeon's consultation - $ 150;
  • Detailed blood test - $ 200-300;
  • MRI of the brain - from $ 600;
  • Angiogram - from $ 1100.

You can check the exact cost of diagnostics with us at Clinics Direct.

How is cerebral aneurysm treated at Medipol clinic

  1. Conservative (medication) - prescribed if the diagnosis did not reveal the risk of hemorrhage, the walls of the vessels are not torn, and the size is not more than 1 cm.

In this case, the patient's condition is monitored under the control of drugs (painkillers, anticonvulsants, etc.).

  1. Surgical intervention is the only option for the complete elimination of this vascular pathology:
  • Open cranial surgery (clipping method) is a traditional transcranial intervention followed by "clipping" of the vessel site;
  • Endovascular embolization (coiling method) is a complex minimally invasive operation during which the aneurysm is blocked by microcoils and excluded from the circulatory system. The method reduces risks to a minimum, is carried out under CT control.

All operations at Medipol University Hospital are carried out under the control of the StealthStation surgical navigation system - this allows the doctor to constantly monitor the dynamics of the patient's condition using 3D images of the operated area in Medipol Medical Hospital.

Treatment of neurological diseases in the Medipol clinic

The Medipol University Hospital in Istanbul is the largest private multidisciplinary medical center in Turkey and one of the recognized leaders in the field of medical tourism.

Thanks to innovative developments, international awards, quality certificates and a special program for foreign patients, Medipol specialists are known far beyond Turkey.

An important role in gaining international recognition was played by the Department of Neurology, which integrates the achievements and practices of other departments of the clinic in its diagnostic and therapeutic activities: neurosurgery, audiology laboratory, sleep research laboratory, and clinical electrophysiology laboratory.

The department specializes in the prevention and treatment of :

  • Parkinson's disease (methods of non-surgical treatment);
  • epilepsy (including surgery);
  • West syndrome;
  • multiple sclerosis;
  • Alzheimer's disease;
  • functional and organic disorders of the nervous system and brain;
  • sleep disorders, mental and mental disorganization.

Treatment is carried out on an outpatient basis, in day hospitals or with full hospitalization. The comfortable wards of the hospital can accommodate not only patients, but also accompanying persons.

In recent years, the department's team has focused on the research and application of non-surgical treatments for diseases of the brain, brainstem, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system and muscles.

The diagnostic support of the Center for Neurological Diseases at Medipol is primarily the Clinical Electrophysiology Laboratory.

A wide range of electrophysiological tests are performed here, which, in addition to a specific examination, are used to diagnose many concomitant neurological diseases:

  • electroencephalography (EEG) - recording of electrical waves from the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp. It is mainly used for suspected epilepsy and for monitoring detected epilepsy, but it is also recommended in many situations that cause complete or partial loss of brain functionality: amnestic disorders, encephalitis, encephalopathy, various systemic diseases, loss of consciousness due to drugs, etc. etc .;
  • electromyography (EMG) - a method for assessing the functional state of the central (brain, spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system;
  • evoked potentials (EP) is an objective non-invasive method of testing the functions of the central nervous system by highlighting changes in the electrical activity of the brain with which it is possible to find out the state of the peripheral and central links of various sensory systems such as vision, hearing, etc. VP is used for acute cerebrovascular accident (CVA), brain and spinal cord tumors, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, chronic cerebrovascular diseases, coma, trigeminal neuralgia;
  • polysomnography (PSG) is a complex (simultaneous registration of EEG, EMG, EOG, video recording, readings of oxygen in the blood), an objective non-invasive method for studying disturbances in the structure of sleep, the causes of breathing disorders during sleep.

Epilepsy treatment at Medipol hospital

At the Center for Neurological Diseases of the Medipol University Hospital , an accurate diagnosis of the disease is carried out using the latest technique - a PET-MRI scanner. This equipment visualizes the structures of the brain in 3D images as accurately as possible, and, in combination with other methods, allows you to accurately determine the type and features of the development of epilepsy in a patient.

Hardware diagnostics of epilepsy :

  • Full body PET-CT;
  • CT with contrast;
  • EEG (electroencephalography) is a recording of electrical waves from the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp. It is mainly used for suspected epilepsy and for monitoring diagnosed epilepsy, but it is also recommended in many situations that cause complete or partial loss of brain functionality;
  • electromyography (EMG) - a method for assessing the functional state of the central (brain, spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system;
  • general and biochemical blood test.

In the absence of the effect of drug treatment, the patient is assigned an operation. At Medipol University Hospital, craniotomy (removal of the affected area of the brain) and implantation of intracranial electrodes are performed.

All operations at Medipol University Hospital are carried out under the control of the StealthStation surgical navigation system, intraoperative MRI , and from a special tomograph (O-arm perop CT) - this allows the doctor to constantly monitor the dynamics of the patient's condition using 3D images of the operated area.

Such control measures increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment and minimize the risk of side effects.

Parkinson's disease treatment at Medipol Center

Parkinson's disease and movement disorders is one of the important specializations of the Center for Neurology.

Traditionally, medical treatment has been used in medicine, but in some cases the symptoms of the disease do not respond in any way to these pharmacological methods. Obviously, a completely different therapeutic approach is needed.

Until recently, it was believed that surgery was the only option for patients refractory to conventional therapies.

Alternative methods of non-surgical treatment are successfully used in Medipol :

HIFU - High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is used to treat and eliminate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease by the method of local exposure to ultrasound on deep brain tissues.

Deep brain stimulation is also used in the treatment of essential tremors, dystonia and epilepsy.

The process consists in an ultrasound effect on an area in the brain of several millimeters. This generates localized hyperthermia and finally ablation of the target area.

How do you know that you have no contraindications for HIFU?

The step-by-step procedure looks like this:

  1. Neurology consultation. In this case, a full neurological assessment will be performed and the neurologist will determine if you are a potential candidate, which requires a series of tests to assess whether you are eligible and rule out possible causes that conflict with the procedure.
  2. The next is an external neuropsychological assessment to verify that memory and other cognitive functions are preserved. This is essential to ensure the success of the treatment.
  3. Two imaging tests, MRI and CT of the skull, will be performed, which must match specific parameters for the implementation of HIFU.
  4. Finally, after all these tests have been passed, your candidacy will be considered in an interdisciplinary meeting.

The treatment is led by Ali Zirkh , neurosurgeon, doctor with 36 years of experience, chief specialist in the surgical treatment of Parkinson's disease and deep brain stimulation at the Medipol clinic - he has performed more than 2,000 successful intracranial brain surgeries and more than 500 DBS procedures (DBS).

Member of the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery.

Multiple sclerosis treatment at Medipol hospital

Multiple sclerosis is a severe degenerative disease of the nervous system, in which the neural membranes of the cells of the spinal cord and brain are affected, which leads to a complete disability and a decrease in the quality of life.

A particular difficulty for doctors is the absence of pronounced symptoms in the early stages and the young age of the victims - in recent decades, the disease has been detected in 20–40-year-old patients.

That is why the disease requires a thorough diagnosis as early as possible with the help of the latest equipment and competent specialists.

Doctors of the Medipol University Hospital successfully carry out the most modern treatment for patients with such a diagnosis. At the Center for Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplantation, treatment by the method of transplanting one's own stem cells is a priority ; the most modern medicines, including experimental developments, are actively used.

The duration of the complete complex diagnostics of diagnostics is 5-6 days .

How is multiple sclerosis diagnosed at Medipol clinic?

For the full diagnostic cycle of the final diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, the specialists of the Motol Hospital carry out apparatus and laboratory tests for about a week.

During the entire examination period, the patient is accompanied by a Russian-speaking medical consultant.

On the first day, the patient is sent to an appointment with the attending neurologist. The specialist conducts an examination and some simple tests, examines the history and gives the medical history and other medical data for translation.

During the second or fourth day , examinations and consultations of other specialists are mandatory: therapist, psychiatrist, rheumatologist, ophthalmologist, hematologist. Highly specialized profile examinations are necessary in order to confirm or exclude other possible causes of the symptoms manifested.

For example, an ophthalmologist will monitor the condition of the eye muscles and establish possible damage and their origin, and a psychiatrist will give an objective assessment of the patient's mental health.

Only after that, the patient is prescribed further studies - hardware and laboratory :

  • MRI is a high-precision layer-by-layer 3D imaging of the brain and other organs, which allows you to obtain three-dimensional images. It is also the fastest and most reliable way to identify or exclude the oncological nature of symptoms;
  • Full body PET-CT;
  • CT with contrast;
  • EEG (electroencephalography) is a recording of electrical waves from the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp. It is mainly used for suspected epilepsy and for monitoring diagnosed epilepsy, but it is also recommended in many situations that cause complete or partial loss of brain functionality;
  • electromyography (EMG) - a method for assessing the functional state of the central (brain, spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system;
  • general and biochemical blood test;
  • detailed urine analysis.

On the fifth or sixth day, the patient is once again prescribed a consultation with a neurologist. Afterwards, an interdisciplinary consultation of doctors analyzes the medical history and diagnostic data in order to prescribe an individual treatment regimen.

Treatment depends on the patient's age, history, and degree of degradation.

How is the treatment of multiple sclerosis in the clinic "Medipol"

The step-by-step process looks like this:

  • Early diagnosis . Multiple sclerosis, as a degenerative disease of the central nervous system with mild and slow manifestation of symptoms, is very difficult to diagnose. Oftentimes, a patient can even be treated for a variety of other ailments.

In the Medipol clinic, the technical and technological base allows you to carry out all the necessary research, eliminate errors and make the correct diagnosis at an early stage;

  • Remission - the key task of doctors is to keep the patient in a state of remission after an exacerbation as long as possible. For this, conservative therapy is carried out: from a variety of medication to physiotherapy methods;

Physiological treatment - therapy is aimed at eliminating negative symptoms that gradually arise with the progression of the disease. The patient is prescribed physiotherapy exercises effective for his condition.

Also, the patient is recommended to maintain a general tone, special dietary food, massage procedures, acupuncture sessions.

Medication - the drugs that are prescribed to the patient are always selected individually and depend on the type of sclerosis. Sometimes it can be drugs that stimulate the immune system. In other cases, the immune system, on the contrary, needs to be suppressed. Antioxidants, hormones, and other medicines have a good effect on the condition of patients.

  • Stem cell therapy is used when it is necessary to restore the normal functioning of the patient's immunity. The therapy is quite long: stem cells are isolated from the patient's own blood and placed in a special nutrient medium for accelerated division.

The patient is simultaneously undergoing a course of chemotherapy - the decrease in the immune function decreases. After the end of chemotherapy, the patient is transplanted with his own spinal cord cells, which will stimulate the immune system to produce T-lymphocytes.

Multiple sclerosis currently remains incurable, but this is not a sentence - Turkish doctors are able to significantly slow down the progression of symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life, even at an advanced stage of the disease.

Treatment of West syndrome in Medipol

The Center for Neurological Diseases of the Medipol University Hospital is the leading clinic in Turkey for the diagnosis and treatment of West syndrome in children and adults.

They conduct a comprehensive examination of young patients, and also offer a neurological rehabilitation program.

Data collection for diagnostics is carried out, as in adults, using a PET-MRI scanner and biochemical analyzes.

Hardware diagnostics of West syndrome :

  • Full body PET-CT;
  • CT with contrast;
  • EEG (electroencephalography) is a recording of electrical waves from the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp. It is mainly used for suspected epilepsy and for monitoring diagnosed epilepsy, but it is also recommended in many situations that cause complete or partial loss of brain functionality;
  • electromyography (EMG) - a method for assessing the functional state of the central (brain, spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system;
  • general and biochemical blood test.

Based on the results of the examination, the doctor selects special antiepileptic drugs or a surgical method for the treatment of West syndrome .

All invasive interventions at Medipol University Hospital are carried out under the control of the StealthStation surgical navigation system, intraoperative MRI , and from a special tomograph (O-arm perop CT) - this allows the doctor to constantly monitor the dynamics of the patient's condition using 3D images of the operated area.

Such control measures increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment and minimize the risk of side effects.

The price for complex diagnostics of West syndrome in Medipol is 2-3 times lower than in clinics in Spain, Germany and Israel. The duration of a complete diagnosis is 5-6 days .

General Oncology at Medipol Hospital

Thanks to innovative developments, constant theoretical and clinical research, quality certificates and an individual patient treatment program, the Medipol University Hospital Cancer Center is an essential component of the success and worldwide recognition of the entire hospital.

The specialists of Medipol University Hospital work on the latest in the world, which is still rare for Turkey, the concept of an interdisciplinary personalized approach to treating patients.

Such an integrated approach to healthcare provides the patient with the most accurate diagnostics, immediate medical care and comfort - all the necessary specialists and equipment are located in one place.

Here, the patient will undergo not only physiological rehabilitation, but also receive social and psychological support , since an oncological diagnosis itself often provokes a depression, emotional imbalance, anxiety and depressive disorders.

Twice a week , a medical consultation meets on the treatment of patients requiring an interdisciplinary approach in assessing the clinical condition and choosing an effective therapeutic strategy.

The Oncology Department of Medipol University Hospital uses the most advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies that meet world standards: PET-MRI, PET-CT, 256-slice CT, 3 Tesla MRI, intraoperative MRI system, Novalis Radiosurgery device for remote stereotaxic radiosurgery, gamma Perfexion knife , linear accelerators ( Varian Trilogy Lineer with RapıdArc function under IGRT visual control), Da Vinci Xi surgical robot.

Cancer treatment in the Medipol clinic is carried out by surgical , radiological (radiation therapy) and drug methods (chemotherapy and targeted therapy) and their combination (for example, radioimmunotherapy is a new type of treatment that combines radiation and immunotherapy with drugs with radioactive isotopes that "Cling" to cancer cells, introducing a source of radio emission into them ).

Laryngeal cancer treatment in Medipol

Laryngeal cancer - one of the most common malignant tumors of the larynx - manifests itself in 50-60% of cases and accounts for approximately 3% of all malignant neoplasms, 80-95% of patients are men aged 40-6 years.

Lung cancer treatment at the Medipol Clinical Hospital is carried out by surgical , radiological (radiation therapy) and drug methods .

At Medipol hospital, doctors use several types of surgical invasive intervention , depending on the neglect of the cancer process:

  • complete laryngectomy - the larynx is removed completely, and the airways are separated from other organs: nose, mouth, esophagus;
  • partial laryngectomy - the area affected by the tumor with part of the larynx is removed;
  • chordectomy - removal of 1 or 2 affected vocal cords.

Radiation oncology , as the safest and most effective method of treatment, is the leading direction in research and clinical oncology at the Medipol clinics today.

SBRT (Extracranial Stereotactic Radiation Therapy) is indicated for early-stage patients as well as inoperable patients.

The procedure is performed by exposing the tumor to high doses of radiation on the latest generation Varian Trilogy Linear linear accelerator with RapıdArc function.

The device accurately determines the intensity of exposure and focuses the rays to the shape of the neoplasm, preserving the surrounding healthy tissues as much as possible.

Patients with stages 3-4 of the disease are irradiated by oncologists simultaneously with drug therapy, before and after surgery.

Lungs' cancer

Lung cancer is the most common in the world - about 1,400,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, and 1 in 5 of these cases are in women, accounting for 13% of all cancer diagnoses.

The Medipol Cancer Center uses the most accurate diagnostic methods - MRI, PET-MRI, PET-CT, liquid biopsy, biochemical and general analysis of blood, urine, and more recently echobronchoscopy.

Echobronchoscopy plays an important role in the diagnosis of lung cancer, as well as many other pulmonological diseases, allowing optimal identification of the location of tumor foci (differs from conventional bronchoscopy by the presence of a Doppler ultrasound probe at the end of the endoscopic probe / tube).

The choice of treatment depends on the stage of the disease, the size and location of the tumor, the presence of metastases, and existing contraindications.

Pancreas cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a tumor of high diagnostic and therapeutic complexity and therefore requires an interdisciplinary and personalized approach.

In this sense, the Medipol Cancer Center is one of the best centers for the treatment of pancreatic cancer in Turkey, as it combines clinical and surgical experience with the necessary technological and therapeutic advances.

The Medipol Cancer Center uses the most modern diagnostic imaging methods - MRI, PET-MRI, PET-CT; liquid biopsy (the analysis allows you to select the most suitable drugs, to identify what exactly interferes with therapy in a particular case, and in the future - to diagnose cancer long before the first symptoms).

Treatment of pancreatic cancer in the clinic is carried out by surgical , radiological (radiation therapy) and drug (chemotherapy and targeted therapy) methods.

Radioncology , as the safest and most effective method of treatment, is the leading direction in research and clinical oncology at Medipol University Hospital today.

Radiotherapy treatments are performed on the latest generation of Varian Trilogy Linear linear accelerators with RapidArc , Intensive Modulation (IMRT) or VMAT, allowing for high doses of radiation without serious side effects.

This significantly improves the results of subsequent resection. Tumor control is achieved through the implantation of tumor markers inside the lesion - the procedure is performed under anesthesia by echoendoscopy.

At Medipol University Hospital, all types of surgical interventions are performed to remove a tumor: Whipple's operation (pancreatoduodenectomy) , partial or complete resection of an organ.

The duration of postoperative rehabilitation during surgery is 10-14 days . It all depends on the extent of the lesion and the dynamics of treatment.

Liver cancer

Liver cancer is a progressive disease that is difficult to diagnose and requires surgical treatment from an early stage; accounts for 2-3% of all diagnoses of cancer.

It is rather difficult to detect liver cancer, especially at the initial stage, since there are no pronounced specific symptoms of the disease. Therefore, it is more often found at later stages.

Diagnostic examination protocol:

  1. General examination by an oncologist:
  • study of anamnesis and transfer of medical history and other medical data for translation;
  • by palpation, the liver, spleen and other nearby organs are examined for the presence of seals or changes in their shape and size;
  • to exclude ascites, the abdomen is checked for fluid;
  • the eyes and skin are checked for signs of hepatosis.
  1. General and biochemical blood test : excess ESR, anemia, hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, dysfibrinogenemia, etc. are checked.
  2. Hardware imaging methods: CT, MRI, ultrasound, - detailed images indicate the presence of a variety of malignant and non-malignant neoplasms and other changes in the body. For clarity of tomographic images, a contrast agent is injected intravenously.
  3. Liver biopsy - the most informative method in this case. The procedure is carried out in several ways:
  • puncture biopsy: using a thin needle and CT scan, a small piece of tissue is taken, which is sent for histological analysis to the laboratory;
  • laparoscopic biopsy: biomaterial is taken with a laparoscope through a small incision in the abdominal cavity.

Usually, such procedures are sufficient to make a definitive diagnosis of liver cancer, but additional diagnostics may be required to determine or clarify the stage (and, accordingly, to select the appropriate therapy).

To accurately determine the stage of the disease are used:

  • CT scan of the chest: detects the presence of metastases in the lungs;
  • Skeletal scan: performed using a radioactive substance that is injected intravenously, spreads throughout the body and is "absorbed" by the bones of the skeleton. The scanner detects the presence of cancer cells in the bone tissue;
  • PET (Positron Emission Tomography) is a radiological 3D imaging technique based on the specificity of a radioactive substance accumulating in cancerous tissues. Such tissues exhibit increased metabolic activity and, accordingly, appear brighter than healthy ones in images.

Diagnosis of liver cancer at Medipol takes 2 to 5 days.

Treatment of liver cancer in the clinic "Medipol University Hospital" is carried out in a specialized oncological center with surgical , radiological (radiation therapy) and drug methods and their combination .

How is liver cancer treated at Medipol clinic?

The main methods of treatment:

  1. Surgical (carried out only in the early stages, in the absence of metastases) :
  • hepatectomy (partial resection) - radical removal of the neoplasm and part of the adjacent healthy liver tissue;
  • complete resection of an organ followed by transplantation of a part of the liver from a living related donor or an organ completely from a deceased one. In the preparatory period, measures are taken to slow down the cancer process as much as possible.
  1. Radiotherapy is the main treatment in the early stages of the disease and is complementary to the metastatic process or post-surgical treatment. It is based on the method of influencing the tumor with high doses of narrowly targeted controlled radiation that does not affect healthy tissues.

Radiation therapy is of 2 types :

  • External radiotherapy (SBRT) is prescribed for patients in the early stages , inoperable patients, and in connection with the risk of postoperative pathologies (especially in the elderly).

Carried out on the linear accelerator of the latest generation Varian Trilogy Lineer function RapıdArc under visual control IGRT - this is one of the most advanced methods of radiation therapy to date - is carried out by rotating the device around the patient at any angle in the range of 360 °.

  • Internal radiotherapy (SIRT) or brachytherapy - irradiation of a tumor by injecting a radioactive isotope into the hepatic artery, which promotes vascular chemoembolization.
  1. Chemotherapy is a drug-based method of primary and secondary treatment that destroys malignant cells by introducing cytotoxic drugs into the bloodstream .
  2. Cytokine therapy (targeted therapy) is the newest method of oncoimmunotherapy, in which “special” proteins destroy malignant formations by activating the immune system.
  3. Combination therapies - for example, drug-assisted radiation therapy, etc.

The choice of treatment depends on the stage of the disease, the size and location of the tumor, the presence of metastases, and existing contraindications. The therapy program is drawn up individually for each patient based on the results of all studies.

Any treatment is coordinated by an interdisciplinary team of specialists: oncologists, transplantologists, microsurgeons, radiologists, anesthesiologists.

Cervical cancer

Cervical cancer (cervical cancer) is a malignant neoplasm in the area of the specified organ. The average age of patients is 30–39 years, but there are also much earlier cases - rapid detection and timely treatment play a major role for a positive prognosis.

Treatment of cervical cancer in the Medipol Clinical Hospital is carried out by surgical , radiological (radiation therapy) and drug methods and their combination .

Doctors of the Medipol hospital use a wide range of invasive intervention techniques depending on the neglect of the cancer process:

  • removal of precancerous tumors - therapy aimed at preventing neoplasms, there are 2 main methods:
  • cryosurgery - a metal probe "frozen" with liquid nitrogen is placed on the cervix. Such hypothermia destroys pathologically altered cells. Cryosurgery is used only in a precancerous state, - with a precisely confirmed diagnosis, the method is not effective;
  • laser surgery - a focused beam of laser beams is applied to the affected area, which cauterize malignant cells or a small piece of tissue is taken as a sample for histology. Laser surgery is also used only in a precancerous state - the technique does not work with invasive malignant changes in cancer;
  • conization - the method consists in removing the cone-shaped area of the cervical tissue. The procedure is used as an independent therapy at an early stage of cancer, as well as diagnostic before the use of radiotherapy and serious invasive interventions. Successful conization allows women to maintain their reproductive function in the future;
  • hysterectomy - complete removal of the body and cervix without touching the ovaries and fallopian tubes. The procedure is used for the treatment of cervical cancer of the initial stage 1A1, stage zero (if the biopsy shows the presence of cancer cells along the contour of the sample), as well as when benign tumors are detected - fibroids ;
  • radical hysterectomy - complete removal of the body and cervix, the upper third of the vagina and surrounding tissues.

With any hysterectomy, reproductive function is lost.

  • trachelectomy - surgical removal of the cervix and upper vagina. During this procedure, the body of the uterus is preserved (the intended birth will take place using a caesarean section), but the possibility of relapse is minimized.
  • Exenteration of the pelvic organs is the most radical intervention used for recurrent cervical cancer: during the resection procedure, the same organs are subject to that during hysterectomy, as well as the lymph nodes of the small pelvis. In advanced cases, the bladder, rectum, and part of the large intestine can be exenterated.

The latest world technologies and high qualifications of doctors at Medipol Hospital allow for successful radiotherapy.

Radiation therapy is the main treatment in the early stages of the disease and additional in the metastatic process or postoperative treatment. It is based on the method of influencing the tumor with high doses of narrowly targeted controlled radiation that does not affect healthy tissues.

Radiation therapy is of 2 types:

  • External radiotherapy (SBRT) is prescribed for patients in the early stages , inoperable patients, and also in connection with the risk of postoperative pathologies (especially in old age). Carried out on the linear accelerator of the latest generation Varian Trilogy Lineer function RapıdArc under visual control IGRT - this is one of the most advanced methods of radiation therapy to date - is carried out by rotating the device around the patient at any angle in the range of 360 °.
  • Internal radiation therapy (SIRT) or brachytherapy - irradiation of a tumor by injecting a radioactive isotope directly into the neoplasm.

With radiological treatment, ovulation stops, the production of hormones progesterone and estrogen is stopped, and early menopause is possible.

Chemotherapy is a medical method of primary and secondary treatment that destroys malignant cells by introducing cytotoxic (anticancer) drugs into the bloodstream .

As a rule, in the treatment of cervical cancer, chemotherapy is used simultaneously with radiation therapy, as well as cytokine therapy - the latest method of oncoimmunotherapy that activates the immune system.

For patients diagnosed with cervical cancer, which is likely to lead to infertility, psychological and social support is very important - professional psychologists with extensive experience in treating cancer patients work at the Medipol hospital. You can count on 24/7 professional assistance in your native language.

Stomach cancer

The complex interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of patients makes the Center for Oncological Diseases of the Medipol Clinic one of the best medical institutions for the treatment of gastric and esophageal cancer in Europe, since it combines clinical and surgical experience with the latest technological and therapeutic advances.

Treatment of cancer of the stomach and esophagus to the hospital to carry out surgical, radiological (radiation therapy) and medication methods.

The clinic "Medipol" uses the most modern, ultra-precise methods for diagnosing gastric and esophageal cancer - MRI, PET-MRI, PET-CT; liquid biopsy (the analysis allows you to select the most suitable drugs, to identify what exactly interferes with therapy in a particular case, and in the future - to diagnose cancer long before the first symptoms).

Radioncology , as the safest and most well-proven method of treatment, is the leading direction in research and clinical oncology at the Medipol hospital today.

Doctors at the Oncology Center use intensive modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to more accurately determine the radiation dose to the tumor, which can increase the dose and increase the response to treatment. All radiation therapy procedures are carried out under the visual control of IGRT (Image-guided radiation therapy ) for instant correction of the patient-beam position at the slightest internal shifts.

Thyroid cancer

The Medipol Oncology Center uses the most modern diagnostic imaging methods - MRI, PET-MRI, PET-CT; liquid biopsy (the analysis allows you to select the most suitable drugs, to identify what exactly interferes with therapy in a particular case, and in the future - to diagnose cancer long before the first symptoms).

Treatment of thyroid cancer in the clinic performed surgical, radiological (radiation therapy) and medication methods (chemotherapy and hormone therapy).

Radioncology , as the safest and most effective method of treatment, is the leading direction in the research and oncological practice of the Medipol hospital today.

Radiotherapy treatments are performed on the latest generation Varian Trilogy Lineer with Intensity Modulated RapidArc (IMRT) or VMAT, allowing high doses of radiation to be delivered without serious side effects.

The cost of thyroid cancer treatment is based on the prescribed procedures. To clarify the cost, consult the specialists of Clinics Direct .

Prostate cancer

The prostate is the second most common tumor in the world after colorectal cancer. In the vast majority of cases, prostate cancer is detected at a very early stage.

Diagnostics and treatment of prostate cancer is carried out in the oncourology department of the Center for Oncological Diseases of the Medipol Hospital by surgical , radiological (radiation therapy) and drug methods and their combinations .

There are several types of radiation therapy, each of which is appropriate for a specific clinical situation.

External Radiation Therapy (SBRT) uses high intensity modulated radiation (IMRT / VMAT) , image guided radiation (IGRT), which provide very high accuracy of daily treatment, increase therapy tolerance.

The higher the dose reached in the prostate gland, the better the chances of permanent elimination of cancer cells.

The device accurately determines the intensity of exposure and adjusts the rays to the shape of the neoplasm, preserving the surrounding healthy tissues as much as possible.

Conducted 3-10 sessions lasting 15 minutes, 5 days a week , for 7-8 weeks .

Tumor control during treatment is achieved by implanting tumor markers inside the lesion.

In the case of intermediate and high risk, radiotherapy is followed by hormonal therapy for a period of 6 months to 3 years , depending on the patient. The method is also effective for postoperative follow-up if there is a risk that cancer cells may still be present.

The systematic use of IMRT / VMAT methods with IGRT can reduce the total treatment duration to 4-6 weeks .

In some cases, it is advisable to use the method of internal radiation exposure - brachytherapy .

At the oncology center, doctors perform two different types of interstitial brachytherapy procedures:

  1. Brachytherapy with permanent implant of radioactive iodine-125 (LDR brachytherapy or low dose rate). It is performed under general anesthesia and usually requires hospitalization within 24 hours.
  2. High Dose Brachytherapy (HDR): By temporarily administering a radioactive source of Iridium-192. As a rule, carried out from 1 to 5 treatments after each hospitalization within 24 hours.

Surgical operations are performed using a minimally invasive method using the Da Vinci robotic surgical system. The tumor is removed through incisions up to 2 cm, which contributes to the rapid recovery of the patient, in comparison with open surgery.

Clinical trials of new methods of drug treatment (molecular-targeted therapy, for example) of prostate cancer are being actively carried out at the Medipol clinic. Patients can participate in them if desired and indicated.

Brain cancer

The Medipol clinic uses the most advanced technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors: 256-slice scanner, 3-Tesla closed-type MRI, open-type MRI, PET-CT, PET-MRI, intraoperative MRI, Novalis Radiosurgery device for remote stereotaxic radiosurgery , robotic surgery system Da Vinci Xi .

An interdisciplinary specialized program for the treatment of brain tumors operates at the Medipol Clinic . The program employs leading specialists in various fields of medicine - oncology, radio-oncology, radiology and neurosurgery.

Treatment of brain cancer in the clinic "Medipol" held surgical, radiological (radiation therapy) and medication methods. At all stages of therapy, patients and their families receive psychological assistance.

This provides a comprehensive individual approach in the diagnosis and treatment of various types of malignant brain tumors.

Invasive interventions are performed in the neurosurgery department of the Medipol clinic.

After surgery, radiation therapy is necessary as an additional stabilizing treatment and constant ultra-precise control of the dynamics of the disease.

A special innovation of "Medipol" - the use of a non-invasive thermoplastic mask during linear accelerator radiation therapy with Novalis technology - allows the maximum localized effect on the tumor without discomfort for the patient. The procedure itself lasts a few seconds and is completely painless.

Depending on the size and location of the lesions, radiotherapy can also be used as the main treatment - radiological methods effectively affect inoperable and primary malignant brain tumors.

Specialists of the Medipol Oncology Department conduct tests in the field of molecular oncology. Patients can take part in anti-cancer drug testing.

At the Medipol University Hospital in the Department of Oncohematology - Head Prof. Sema Anak, with a success rate of 92% , bone marrow transplantation is performed for adults and children:

  • autologous (own cells) bone marrow transplantation - from € 42,000
  • autologous (with cells from a close relative) bone marrow transplant - from € 72,000
  • allogeneic (unrelated donor cells) - from € 82,000 to 100,000

Lymphoma

Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, the incidence of which has become more frequent in recent years, including as a consequence of aggressive chemotherapy, makes up about 4% of all malignant tumors.

On the other hand, modern therapeutic advances and technologies provide a high survival rate (up to 80% complete recovery, as in the case of Hodgkin's lymphoma).

There are over 60 different types of lymphomas that fall into two broad groups: Hodgkin's lymphomas and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.

Both types of lymphomas can affect people of all ages, but are usually found in older people (median age at diagnosis is 60).

The Medipol clinics use the most modern, ultra-precise methods for diagnosing various types of lymphomas - MRI, CT, PET-MRI, PET-CT; biochemical analyzes of urine and blood, bone marrow biopsy, lymph node biopsy.

Diagnosis and treatment of lymphatic tumors is carried out in the Medipol Oncology and Oncohematology departments.

Treatment for lymphoma is based on a combination of several basic treatments:

  1. Chemotherapy is a medical method of primary and secondary treatment that destroys malignant cells and prevents the formation of new ones.
  2. Immunotherapy is an auxiliary method aimed at strengthening the immune system using biological products. In the process, atypical cells die, their growth and division stops.
  3. Radiation therapy is the main method in the early stages and an additional one in case of an advanced process, a method of influencing the tumor with high doses of targeted radiation on a linear accelerator of the latest generation

Doctors at the Cancer Center use intensive modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to accurately determine the radiation dose to the tumor, which allows the dose to be increased without affecting healthy tissue.

In combination with classical chemotherapy, it gives very encouraging results.

  1. Radioimmunotherapy is a new type of treatment that combines radiation and immunotherapy. This is a treatment with drugs that contain monoclonal antibodies with radioactive isotopes. Antibodies attach to cancer cells by introducing a radio source into them.

The method is especially effective in the treatment of non-Hodgkin-type lymphomas.

  1. Bone marrow cell transplantation is the removal of malignant cells and the introduction of healthy cells taken from the donor or the patient himself in order to restore and stabilize the functions of the hematopoietic system.

The head of the Bone Marrow Transplant Center is Professor Senie Sema Anak , a surgeon, a specialist in blood oncology with 30 years of experience.

Before the transplant procedure, patients usually undergo a very intensive course of chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

The effectiveness of treatment with bone marrow transplantation, according to the oncohematological department of Medipol Hospital, is 91.5%.

The choice of an adequate combination depends on the type of lymphoma, the extent of the disease, the age of the patient and the presence of concomitant diseases that are risky when receiving one or another therapy.

Clinic "Medipol" is actively conducting clinical trials of experimental drugs for drug treatment. Patients can participate in them if desired and indicated.
