🧬 MEDICAL ONCOLOGY IN TURKEY
Comprehensive Cancer Treatment with Modern Drug Therapies
Medical oncology is the branch of medicine dedicated to treating cancer using systemic therapies — including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy.
In Turkey, modern oncology hospitals use the latest generation of medicines, combining them with personalized treatment plans that improve survival and quality of life.
At Medicine Park International, we connect patients from all around the world with leading oncology centers in Turkey, offering advanced, coordinated, and affordable cancer care.
💡 WHAT IS MEDICAL ONCOLOGY?
Medical oncology focuses on systemic cancer treatment — that is, therapies that affect the entire body to destroy cancer cells, prevent their growth, or stop recurrence after surgery or radiotherapy.
Treatments are tailored to:
The type and stage of cancer
The patient’s general condition
The molecular and genetic profile of the tumor
Medical oncologists work closely with radiation oncologists, surgeons, and nuclear medicine specialists to ensure a multidisciplinary approach.
⚕️ TYPES OF TREATMENTS IN MEDICAL ONCOLOGY
1️⃣ Chemotherapy (Drug Therapy)
Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs to kill or stop the growth of cancer cells.
It can be administered intravenously or orally, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with surgery and radiotherapy.
Chemotherapy is used to:
Shrink tumors before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy)
Eliminate remaining cancer cells after surgery (adjuvant therapy)
Control advanced or metastatic cancer
Relieve symptoms and improve quality of life
2️⃣ Immunotherapy (Immune System Activation)
Immunotherapy helps the body’s own immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
Modern immunotherapies (such as checkpoint inhibitors) have revolutionized treatment for cancers like melanoma, lung cancer, kidney cancer, and more.
Benefits:
Works precisely on cancer cells
Fewer side effects compared to chemotherapy
Can provide long-term remission in advanced cancer
3️⃣ Targeted Therapy (Precision Medicine)
Targeted therapy uses drugs that specifically act on genetic mutations or proteins driving cancer growth.
It allows personalized treatment — effective only on tumors that express specific molecular markers.
Examples:
HER2 inhibitors for breast cancer
EGFR or ALK inhibitors for lung cancer
BRAF inhibitors for melanoma
Targeted therapy often complements chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
4️⃣ Hormone Therapy (Endocrine Therapy)
Hormone therapy blocks or reduces the effects of hormones that fuel certain cancers, such as:
Breast cancer (estrogen or progesterone dependent)
Prostate cancer (testosterone dependent)
It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments to control tumor growth.
