☢️ RADIATION ONCOLOGY IN TURKEY
Advanced Cancer Treatment with Precision Radiotherapy
Radiation oncology is the branch of medicine that uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors — safely, effectively, and pain-free.
In Turkey, modern radiotherapy centers use state-of-the-art technology such as IMRT, IGRT, VMAT, SBRT, and Proton Therapy to provide personalized, accurate treatment plans for every patient.
At Medicine Park International, we help international patients access leading oncology hospitals in Turkey offering the most advanced radiotherapy methods — with full medical, travel, and translation support.
💡 WHAT IS RADIATION ONCOLOGY?
Radiation therapy (radiotherapy) involves the use of precisely targeted ionizing radiation to kill or damage cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
It can be used:
As a curative treatment (to eliminate cancer completely)
As an adjuvant treatment (after surgery or chemotherapy to prevent recurrence)
Or as a palliative treatment (to relieve pain and symptoms in advanced cancer)
In modern oncology, radiotherapy plays a central role in treating most solid tumors — such as breast, lung, prostate, brain, and head & neck cancers.
⚕️ TYPES OF RADIOTHERAPY AVAILABLE IN TURKEY
1️⃣ External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT)
The most common type of radiation therapy. It directs beams of radiation from outside the body toward the tumor.
Advanced EBRT technologies available include:
IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy): Allows radiation dose to conform precisely to the tumor’s shape.
IGRT (Image-Guided Radiotherapy): Uses real-time imaging to monitor tumor position during each session.
VMAT (Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy): Delivers radiation in a single, precise arc, reducing treatment time.
SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy): High-dose radiation in a few sessions, for small, localized tumors.
SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery): Used mainly for brain tumors with sub-millimeter precision.
2️⃣ Proton Therapy
Proton therapy is the most precise form of radiotherapy, using proton particles instead of X-rays.
It delivers energy directly to the tumor, minimizing exposure to healthy tissue — ideal for children and tumors near vital organs.

3️⃣ Brachytherapy (Internal Radiotherapy)
Brachytherapy involves placing a radioactive source inside or next to the tumor.
It’s commonly used for:
Prostate cancer
Cervical and uterine cancer
Head and neck cancers
This localized method allows higher radiation doses to the tumor with minimal side effects.
🧬 THE RADIOTHERAPY PROCESS STEP-BY-STEP
Consultation & Diagnosis
Oncologists and radiologists review imaging results (CT, MRI, PET-CT) and create an individualized treatment plan.Simulation & Planning
A 3D model of the patient’s anatomy is created to calculate the exact dose and beam angles.Treatment Sessions
Radiotherapy is delivered daily (Monday–Friday), lasting 10–30 minutes per session, typically over 4–6 weeks.Monitoring & Adjustment
The patient’s progress is evaluated regularly, with real-time imaging to ensure perfect targeting.Follow-Up Care
After completion, follow-up visits and imaging ensure continued recovery and tumor control.
