Key Information
Why Turkey for Cancer Treatment?
Turkey's oncology centers have grown into internationally recognized facilities, regularly receiving patients from across Europe, the GCC and beyond. What distinguishes Turkish cancer care is the multidisciplinary tumor board model — every new case is reviewed by a committee of oncologists, radiologists, surgeons and pathologists who jointly design the optimal treatment protocol. Access to the latest immunotherapy agents, targeted therapies and precision radiotherapy systems means international patients receive standard-of-care treatment at a fraction of Western costs.
- Multidisciplinary tumor board review for every patient
- IMRT, SBRT and stereotactic radiotherapy systems
- Immunotherapy and targeted therapy agents available
- PET-CT, liquid biopsy and molecular profiling on-site
What Cancers Do We Treat?
Our partner oncology centers treat virtually all cancer types, with particular expertise in solid tumors of the lung, breast, colon, prostate, liver and gynecological tract, as well as hematological malignancies including leukemia and lymphoma. For patients who have received an initial diagnosis at home, a multidisciplinary second-opinion review often provides additional insight into staging accuracy, treatment alternatives and clinical trial eligibility.
Cancer Treatment Costs in Turkey vs Western Europe
Chemotherapy protocol costs in Turkey are typically 50–65% lower than in Western Europe, while radiotherapy courses and surgical procedures carry similar or greater savings. A full six-cycle chemotherapy course that costs £40,000–£60,000 in the UK can be completed in Turkey for £15,000–£25,000 using identical drugs and protocols. VelaCare provides a transparent, itemised cost breakdown before any commitment is made.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know oncology treatment in Turkey follows international standards?

This varies considerably by protocol. Initial consultation and diagnostics take 3–5 days. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy courses may require longer stays or multiple visits. Your personalised plan will define the exact schedule.
