Breast Health Services in Turkey
Breast health assessment may involve several medical specialties and diagnostic methods depending on the patient’s symptoms, age, medical history and previous findings. Istanbul Medical Service assists international patients in accessing appropriate physicians, diagnostic facilities and hospitals in Turkey according to individual medical needs.
Breast Health Assessment
Breast symptoms or abnormal screening findings should be evaluated individually by an appropriate healthcare professional. Assessment may include clinical examination together with review of medical and family history, previous imaging and other relevant medical information.
Breast Imaging and Diagnostic Services
Depending on clinical assessment, diagnostic evaluation may include mammography, breast ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). If a finding requires further investigation, a specialist may recommend tissue sampling or biopsy. The appropriate technique is determined according to the individual finding and clinical plan.
Multidisciplinary Breast Care
Suspected or confirmed breast cancer may require evaluation by several specialties, including breast or general surgery, radiology, pathology, medical oncology, radiation oncology and plastic and reconstructive surgery. The treating medical team determines which disciplines are required for each patient.
Breast Cancer Treatment
Treatment depends on factors such as the type and stage of disease, biological characteristics of the tumor, general health and specialist evaluation. Depending on the individual case, treatment may involve surgery, systemic medical treatment, radiotherapy or a combination of approaches. The sequence and combination of treatments must be determined by the treating medical team.
