Being diagnosed with breast cancer can make every subsequent medical decision feel significant. Understanding the disease, assessing the patient's condition, and determining the appropriate next steps are essential before making treatment decisions.
In Turkey, breast cancer specialists are typically breast surgeons who work for the renowned hospitals. You can check for breast oncology subspecialties and confirm their registration. Consultant profiles with experience and expertise are frequently found on hospital websites.
Leading hospitals offer cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic services and are affiliated with the Oncology Board in Turkey. They have multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) with pathologists, radiologists, surgeons, and oncologists. A large number of them participate in research and clinical trials.
Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, targeted therapies, and surgery (mastectomy or lumpectomy) are commonly used forms of treatment. When medically necessary, breast-conserving surgery is given priority. Sentinel lymph node biopsies are often performed to evaluate the spread of cancer.
Yes, many hospitals allow MDT case reviews for such requests. It is beneficial to bring pathology reports, scans, and prior treatment plans. Second opinions are helpful when assessing borderline cases or choosing between mastectomy and lumpectomy.
Yes, virtual consultations are available from most large hospitals and private specialists, particularly for treatment planning, follow-ups, and second opinions. Teleconsults are perfect for discussing hormone therapy, treatment reviews, or biopsy results. Yes, MediGence enables secure online consultations with the top oncologists in Turkey.
Plastic and breast surgeons frequently collaborate to reconstruct after a mastectomy. Many have received training in both reconstructive and oncologic procedures, such as implant-based reconstruction and DIEP flap. Most surgeons in Turkey are members of the Association of Breast Surgery.
The length of recovery varies depending on whether the patient is receiving radiation, chemotherapy, surgery, or a combination of these treatments. Most patients recover from a lumpectomy in 1-2 weeks, while mastectomy recovery can take up to 4-6 weeks. Even after treatment is over, fatigue from radiation and chemotherapy may persist for months. Although full recovery varies, many people resume their regular activities in three to six months.
Yes, international patients are accepted by trusts and private hospitals, frequently through specialised international patient departments. Translation, accommodations, treatment, and diagnosis are among the services offered.
MediGence provides:
Turkish hospitals offer routine follow-up through breast clinics for five to ten years following treatment. These include physical examinations, mammograms, and follow-up consultations for recurrence monitoring. Additionally, patients are watched for treatment side effects.
Due to early detection and modern treatments, survival rates in Turkey have significantly increased. Over 90% of people with early-stage breast cancer survive for five years. Age, general health, cancer stage, and subtype all affect prognosis. Cancers that express hormone receptors typically have better prognoses.
