CANCER TREATMENT AT ANADOLU

9 oncology departments work on the premises of Anadolu Hospital. Oncologists here specialize in the treatment of breast, skin, gastrointestinal organs cancers, spine and brain tumors.

Anadolu specialists use a unique diagnostic method in the early stages of cancer — CTC (Circulating Tumor Cells), also called as a liquid biopsy. It allows determining cancer even when a tumor is small (5 mm), and cannot be detected with traditional diagnostic methods.

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy without surgery usually takes 6-8 weeks. One radiation cycle lasts 5-20 minutes 5 days a week. After the surgical intervention, radiotherapy takes less time — 4-6 weeks.

Radiation therapy may be combined with chemo, immune and hormone therapies to make the treatment more efficient.

Anadolu Hospital is among a few medical facilities in Turkey to perform radiation therapy with such innovative devices as:

• CyberKnife
• Truebeam.

CyberKnife

Cyberknife is a minimally invasive method of radiation therapy. It is used as an alternative to traditional surgery to treat a small or hard-to-reach tumors, cancer relapse.

A patient does not require anesthesia before the procedure. There are no inflammatories and infections after the CyberKnife treatment which are possible during traditional surgery.

The CyberKnife irradiates a tumor with up to 0.5 mm accuracy. That's why the healthy tissues are not damaged.

A doctor determines the longevity of the treatment course individually for each clinical case. Usually, it does not exceed a week. Each session lasts approximately 1-1.5 hours. The treatment is carried out on an outpatient basis, so after the therapy, a patient can immediately return to the normal lifestyle.

Varian Edge

The Varian Edge system is considered the most advanced radiosurgical and radiotherapy technique in the world. It is used to treat cancer anywhere in the body (in the brain, spine, neck, lung, liver, prostate, etc.), at the severe stages of malignancy, and its metastases and relapse.

Varian Edge moves around a patient to target a tumor from many different angles at the high speed. It helps achieve higher accuracy and save healthy tissues. This therapy takes 2-4 times less time than any other radiotherapeutic method. As a result, a patient undergoes treatment 50% more quickly.

Varian Edge is a non-invasive technique. The average duration of the procedure is 15-20 minutes. Anadolu doctors perform this radiotherapeutic method on an outpatient basis. So a patient may returns to their everyday lifestyle just after the therapy.

Surgical oncology

Anadolu surgeons remove tumors with the Da Vinci system. Da Vinci is a surgical robot, designed to carry out the most complex minimally invasive operations in the field of urology, general surgery, gynecology, and thoracic surgery.

Advantages of the Da Vinci robot-assisted surgery:

• A surgeon makes 3-4 small incisions that reduce pain and give a better cosmetic result (small scars remain).
• Patients have a shorter period of hospitalization.
• Because of the small incisions, the risk of infections is minimal.
• Da Vinci robot helps a surgeon to take control after each step of the operation. The robot has two cameras providing 3D precise images to control the surgery process.
