In the case of surgery, this symbiosis makes the postoperative period safer and more comfortable for the patient.
Genetic Disease Diagnostic Centre
At the genetic disease diagnostic centre, patients are examined or treated for inherited diseases. The doctors:
treat rare conditions in both adults and children;
detect genetic predispositions to oncology, endocrine and neurological diseases;
perform pregnancy planning;
perform infertility consultation, as well as before IVF, for genetic diagnosis of embryos, etc.
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
Specialists of the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation work to eliminate pain and inflammation in patients, reduce the need for drugs and eliminate problems arising from posture disorders. Doctors create programs that are personal to each patient and their disease. Most often, rehabilitation is needed in patients with osteoporosis, cervical or lumbar hernia, patients with lymphedema, and those who have undergone radiation therapy or mastectomy. Of the basic rehabilitation methods used here are:
PRP therapy (treatment with own plasma);
neurotherapy, mesotherapy;
physical and breathing exercises;
electrotherapy (to reduce oedema, improve blood circulation and body function);
phototherapy (application of laser and ultraviolet radiation);
chiropractic therapy;
thermotherapy (use of microwave radiation, ultrasound, infrared rays and paraffin baths);
hydrotherapy and cryotherapy.
In the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, motor functions can be improved in fully or partially paralyzed patients, as well as in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Also, doctors treat scoliosis and help improve the quality of life for patients with spinal cord injuries and cerebral palsy. Patients recover from muscle and meniscus injuries, as well as from fractures and other sports injuries.
In addition to diagnosing and treating many diseases related to the musculoskeletal system, physiotherapists and rehabilitation specialists collaborate with other departments. This approach makes it possible to provide comprehensive care to all patients, which speeds up the process of their recovery.
Oncology treatment at Medical Park Ankara
As in other departments, treatment of patients with oncology is carried out in cooperation with doctors of various specialities. For this purpose, a Concilium is assembled in which oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, pathologists, chemotherapists and other doctors participate. There is also a psychologist in the department, so patients with oncological diseases and their relatives can get special support.
The main cancer therapy methods used in Ankara Medical Park are chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and immunotherapy. In the Department of Radiation Oncology, doctors use Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (iMRT). This approach allows them to choose the dosage, size and field of radiation in real-time. The method itself has almost no effect on healthy body tissues.
The oncology departments also have modern radiation therapy and radiosurgery devices: CyberKnife M6, Tomotherapy, MR-LINAC, Trilogy, TrueBeam, Gamma Knife. These technologies empower doctors to fight different types of cancer. Most often specialists use two methods of radiation treatment:
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRC). In this case, cancer cells are destroyed in one session using a high dose beam. The directed beam destroys the DNA of the tumour cells, stopping its growth.
Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT). This method breaks down cancerous cells through lower doses in 3-4 sessions instead of one. This provides a higher level of protection for healthy tissue than the first treatment option.
