Accurate and correct diagnostics in Turkey
Turkish lab tests (general clinical and biochemical blood tests, tests for specific tumor markers) are constantly certified and made only with the fresh reagents. Instrumental studies are performed using state-of-art equipment. Many molecular genetic tests are available only to doctors in this country.
An accurate diagnostics is 90% of success.
Often people come to Turkey to confirm or disprove the diagnosis. In such cases, the patient needs a flawless interpretation of all the diagnostics examinations, as the doctor's error would be especially costly to the patient. In Turkey, specialists diagnose cancer even at an early stage, when symptoms are weak or absent.

Affordability and accessibility of cancer treatment in Turkey
Doctors in Turkey give quick responses and schedule appointments very fast. The patient will be welcomed to the Istanbul Airport, a large transportation hub, one of the best and most accessible. The flight time will be short, which is valuable for the patient. Tickets are always available, and no visa is required.
It has a historically comfortable infrastructure: 2870 hotels in the country are glad to accommodate a large number of international visitors. 10% of the state budget is allocated for health care.
44 hospitals in Turkey have earned the world accreditation of the International Commission on Safety and JCI, they have impeccable management and gold standard certification. Twice a year, Turkish hospitals are inspected by the Ministry of Health. Such accessibility, experience and service make Turkey an ideal country for cancer therapy at any stage.

Original medication for resonable pricing
Not the last factor that makes treatment so effective is high quality of medication. It will be cheaper to buy tickets, undergo treatment and purchase medications in Turkey than to just find them at home.
More than 20% of medicines in the former Soviet Union are fakes, 60% are generics (low-efficiency budget analogues), many of them are banned in their country.

Interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach to oncology treatment in Turkey
Turkish oncologists bravely undertake the treatment of many diseases every day.
A great deal of experience with complex cases increases the chances of a positive result and gives specificity and certainty in the therapy.
Different tumor localizations and diagnoses often require a team of doctors from different fields: chemotherapists, surgeons and radiologists, who are able to apply different therapies and methods.

Different tumor localizations and diagnoses often require a team of doctors from different fields: chemotherapists, surgeons and radiologists, who are able to apply different therapies and methods.
That is why a comprehensive approach is used: a board of specialists is formed, each of whom is a professional in his or her field: surgeons, radiologists, and specialists in related pathologies.
It is also important to mention that Turkish doctors are highly specialized. The patient does not just go to an oncologist, but to an oncopulmonologist or oncogynecologist, who is experienced in a particular complex disease.
The latest protocols approved by the Food and Drug Administration are used during cancer treatment. They reduce the time of procedures, leaving only the necessary ones to receive positive results.

Reasonable cost of cancer treatment in Turkey
With high quality of services and treatment, the prices for diagnostics, therapy and subsequent rehabilitation of oncological diseases are very affordable for intrenational patients. You can save up to 50%, compared to the same treatment options in Europe, while the quality of therapy will not be lower, and in some cases even higher, than in Germany and the USA.
Doctors take on cases that they are 100% sure about. They do not make empty promises and do not treat for profit.

The story of Professor Barysh Metin's surprisingly accurate diagnosis establishment at NPIstanbul for a young patient from Ukraine
In September 2021, we were contacted by the father of a little patient Matvey, who is only 3 years old. In May this year, the boy badly hit his head, a day later he complained of severe headaches and loss of sensitivity in some parts of the body. There were serious problems with his speech, decreased reaction rate, vestibular system disorders, a shaky gait and lack of sleep.
Matvey underwent diagnostics in Ukraine, and the tests showed low hormone levels. Doctors said that it was Encephalitis - inflammation of the brain, as 2 weeks before the baby suffered pneumonia and COVID-19. CT scan never showed Encephalitis. The correct diagnosis could not be made and treatment brought no results for a long time. Matvey's father turned to us to find a multidisciplinary clinic and a good, qualified specialist.
We organized a trip to the clinic NPIstanbul in Turkey. So that the family could focus only on what was important, we took care of all current issues: accommodation, interpreter services, transportation, airfare and control of the medical program at the clinic. For several months, our manager Lala Al-Miari led the preparations for the trip.
At NPIstanbul, the boy was treated by a highly qualified specialist, Associate Professor of medical sciences - Barysh Metin. After a physical examination, the professor referred the patient for an ultrasound of the abdomen. Since doctors in Ukraine initially assumed that the problems were related to hormonal background and head trauma, the parents insisted on an MRI of the brain. After examinations, the diagnosis was made - Neuroblastoma. Prof. Barysh Metin found the tumor in the abdominal cavity by conducting the RIGHT instrumental examinations.
The tumor was removed. Now Matvey is feeling great, and all the tests show that he is a completely healthy child! The whole family is insanely grateful for the work we did. Quote: "I don't know what we would do without you...Thank you, thank you so much! Barysh Metin is an amazing doctor, UNICLINICS are amazing trip organizers!"
