Oncology
Cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and specialist care coordination.
Oncology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care of cancer and cancer-related conditions. Patients may seek oncology support for cancer screening, second medical opinions, treatment planning, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgical evaluation, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or follow-up after previous treatment.
MedexTrip helps international patients coordinate oncology consultations, hospital communication, diagnostic evaluations, and treatment planning in Turkey. Oncology care often involves a multidisciplinary approach, where medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and other specialists work together depending on the patient’s diagnosis. Final diagnosis, treatment suitability, and all medical decisions are always made by licensed oncology specialists and healthcare professionals.
Example treatments
Oncology Consultation
An oncology consultation allows patients to discuss their diagnosis, symptoms, medical history, previous test results, pathology reports, imaging results, and treatment options with a specialist. The oncologist may recommend further diagnostic tests, a treatment plan, or a multidisciplinary evaluation depending on the case.
Second Medical Opinion
A second medical opinion may help patients better understand their diagnosis and available treatment options. Oncology specialists review existing medical reports, imaging, biopsy results, and previous treatment history to provide professional guidance based on the patient’s condition.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses medication to treat certain types of cancer. It may be used alone or together with surgery, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy depending on the cancer type, stage, and treatment plan recommended by the oncology team.
Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy uses controlled radiation to treat selected cancer types. It may be recommended before surgery, after surgery, or as part of a combined treatment plan. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, tumor location, stage, and specialist evaluation.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a treatment approach that helps the immune system recognize and fight certain cancer cells. It may be suitable for selected cancer types and patient profiles, depending on medical testing and oncology evaluation.
Cancer Screening and Follow-Up
Cancer screening and follow-up services may include blood tests, imaging, specialist consultations, and monitoring after previous treatment. The recommended screening or follow-up plan depends on age, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment history, and doctor guidance.
