Frequently Asked Questions

In Turkey, which types of cancer are treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)?

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is a cutting-edge treatment option in Turkey, designed to target various types of cancer with precision. This advanced therapy is commonly employed for treating several cancers, including:

  • Head and neck cancers (such as oral, throat, and laryngeal cancers)
  • Prostate cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Brain tumors
  • Lung cancer
What is the duration of each session?

Including setup and imaging, IMRT sessions usually last 15 to 30 minutes. Because VMAT administers doses continuously, the treatment time may be shorter (approximately 10 minutes).

What kind of training do the doctors need to complete?

Specialised IMRT training is provided to clinical oncologists and medical physicists, and ongoing education is required. Therapists must also complete accredited courses. Turkey centres frequently participate in audits and quality checks.

What happens after IMRT?

Depending on the type of tumour, follow-up takes place 3-6 weeks after treatment and then 3-6 months later. Response and late effects are tracked by imaging and clinical examinations. Recovery, rehabilitation, and chronic toxicity management are all part of CNS's long-term support.

What credentials are necessary for an IMRT oncologist?

In Turkey, to become an IMRT oncologist, one needs to go through 6 years of medical school, followed by a 5-year residency in Radiation Oncology after successfully passing the national TUS exam. They also need to be licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health and receive specialised training in IMRT during their residency or through ongoing education. Joining professional organisations like TROD and taking part in international training programs can further enhance their skills and knowledge.

How can I determine whether a hospital has up-to-date IMRT equipment?

To determine if a hospital is equipped with modern IMRT technology, check their brochures or website for mentions of cutting-edge tools like image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), VMAT, or linear accelerators (LINACs). Look for accreditations from JCI, as these are usually signs of up-to-date infrastructure. You can also gather information by asking during your appointment or by visiting our reliable portal, MediGence, which offers verified hospital information and professional guidance.

How can I determine whether a hospital has up-to-date IMRT equipment?

To determine if a hospital is equipped with modern IMRT technology, check their brochures or website for mentions of cutting-edge tools, such as image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), or linear accelerators (LINACs). Look for accreditations from JCI or NABH, as these are usually signs of up-to-date infrastructure. You can also gather information by asking during your appointment or by visiting our reliable portal, MediGence, which offers verified hospital information and professional guidance.

Can I get a second opinion from another oncologist?

Yes, patients have the right to a second opinion, as per the guidelines. You may be referred to another hospital or cancer centre by your present consultant or general practitioner. In oncology, it's accepted and common. A second opinion can support treatment choices or offer substitutes. Medigence can assist you through its platform, offering services such as teleconsultations and second opinions.
