Department of Medical Oncology

Medical Oncology

The Medical Oncology Department of Anadolu Medical Center provides diagnostic and treatment of all cancer types in addition to preventive measures and screening of healthy individuals under risk.   Treatment and observation plans for cancer patients are developed through a multi-disciplinary approach in cooperation with the departments of surgery and Radiation Oncology. 

Chemotherapy and all required procedures are performed by highly qualified doctors and oncology nurses trained to handle psychological and physical requirements of cancer patients.  Chemotherapy patients are also monitored by a team of doctors and oncology nurses outside the hospital.   We provide chemotherapy service at the Oncology and Chemotherapy unit of Anadolu Medical Center’s Ataşehir Outpatient Clinic.  

Targeted therapies specific to an individual

In our center, we apply therapies specific to the patient as well as immunotherapy (in which the immune system cells fight the tumor).  Our Medical Oncology Department, in cooperation with the departments of Genetics and Pathology, determine therapies and medications specific to the individual according to the genetic mutations and alterations determined by looking at the genetic structure of the tumor.   In our Medical Oncology department, immunotherapy is also performed in certain types of cancer (lung, malignant melanoma).
