Frequently Asked Questions

Stereotactic radiotherapy is administered by whom?

Stereotactic treatments are managed by a multidisciplinary team that includes physicists, dosimetrists, specialised radiographers, and clinical oncologists. Clinical oncologists lead planning and delivery with subspecialty training, such as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

Do I qualify for stereotactic radiation treatment?

If you have a small, well-defined tumour, typically found in the brain, lung, liver, or spine, and you're in good overall health, you might qualify for stereotactic radiation treatment. This option is excellent for those who may not be suitable for surgery or have smaller tumours. To determine your eligibility, a radiation oncologist will review your scans and medical history. You can also connect with MediGence for a virtual consultation.

Are there waiting lists for stereotactic radiotherapy at hospitals?

Yes, especially at high-demand centres, hospitals may have short wait times for planning and treatment slots, usually ranging from two to four weeks. Priority is given to urgent cases, such as brain metastases. Treatment at private hospitals is frequently available in a matter of days. During your consultation or at the point of referral, inquire about the current wait time.

Can I select a particular oncologist for stereotactic radiotherapy?

Yes, patients in Turkey often have the option to choose their consultant oncologist based on their hospital affiliation or area of expertise. Numerous hospitals have online consultant directories that list subspecialties such as brain SRS or lung SABR.

Are all oncologists trained in stereotactic?

No, stereotactic radiotherapy is a subspecialty that calls for further education in small-field dosimetry, immobilisation, and advanced imaging. For various tumour sites, Turkish hospitals typically assign specialised stereotactic oncologists. Ensure your consultant has experience handling a substantial volume of comparable SRS/SABR cases.

Can I get a second opinion from another oncologist?

Yes, seeking a second opinion from another oncologist is a perfectly reasonable step to take. It's a standard recommendation, especially when dealing with complex conditions like cancer. Services like MediGence make this easier by offering virtual consultations with top experts, allowing you to verify the diagnosis, explore treatment options, and make informed choices with confidence.

What credentials are necessary for a Stereotactic Radiotherapy oncologist?

A stereotactic radiotherapy oncologist should have specialised training in methods like SRS and SBRT, along with an MD or DNB in radiation oncology and an MBBS. They also need to be adept at using state-of-the-art tools, such as Gamma Knives, CyberKnives, and LINACs. Their skill in precision radiotherapy is often highlighted by additional fellowships or qualifications, as well as their participation in groups such as ESTRO or AROI.
