International Platform
International Platform
Glioblastoma is a rare and fast-growing tumor that affects the brain and the spinal cord. The tumor arises from the astrocytes causing symptoms like headache, double vision, mood changes, etc. Glioblastoma has no proper cure but treatment can help to relieve the symptoms in a patient and help them to live longer. Clinics in Turkey offer patients accurate diagnostics like fMRI, CT, etc., and treatment methods which include craniotomy, radiosurgery, etc.

Why do patients visit Turkey for the treatment of glioblastoma?

Turkey has some of the best hospitals in the world which are Anadolu Hospital, LIV Hospital, Memorial Health Network, Medical Park Hospitals, etc. These hospitals are JCI accredited for the quality of treatment they offer. In addition to this, the benefits offered to international patients which include: travel assistance, transportation, inclusive treatment packages, interpreter, etc make it a suitable option for patients interested in getting the treatment here. All Turkish Clinics offer cutting edge technologies for glioblastoma treatment these include fMRI, MRI spectroscopy, Gamma knife, Cyberknife, External Beam therapy, etc. Doctors in Turkey offer holistic treatment for glioblastoma patients. Planning the treatment in such a case requires a team of experts from the Radio-Oncology Unit, Neurosurgery Unit, Medical Oncology Unit, etc. Neurosurgeons in Turkey are highly qualified and are trained at some of the renowned institutes in the world. Moreover, Turkish Neurosurgeons have many years of experience and have performed numerous successful operations.

Diagnosis of glioblastoma in Turkey

Turkish Neurosurgeons plan multiple diagnostic tests when they see patients complaining about any of the above-mentioned signs of glioblastoma. This is important since the doctors get a better understanding of the patient's condition and plan the treatment accordingly.

Neurological examination

During the exam, the doctor will test your vision, movement, coordination, reflexes, and a few other things. Issues in any one of these will indicate the part of the brain that is damaged due to the tumor.

Biopsy

A biopsy is important since it helps to analyze the tissue sample of the brain. During the biopsy doctors use image-guided methods to remove the sample properly.

CT and PET scans

CT and PET scans are used to look at the size, shape & structure of the glioblastoma

MRI scan

During the MRI scan a contrasting agent is injected which is picked by the glioblastoma cells. A high contrast MRI image is an indication of the patient having a high-grade tumor. MRI spectroscopy: This type of scan gives the doctor the chemical profile of the tumor. Certain chemicals are produced by the normal brain cells and the glioblastoma cells. Comparison between the production of chemicals tells about the cancer cells that are present fMRI: A fMRI scan tells which part of the brain is activated when a patient performs a function. Therefore before the scan, the doctors define the different brain regions. A red signal is seen in the scan if a particular region of the brain has a tumor in it.

Treatment strategies for glioblastoma in Turkish Clinics

Doctors in Turkey after analyzing the diagnostic results plan the patient’s treatment. They mainly focus on helping the patient with the symptoms of the tumor and prolonging their lifespan. Some of the widely used treatment methods for glioblastoma in Turkey are:

Surgery

The main purpose of the surgery is to remove as much glioblastoma as possible for this purpose different surgical interventions are used which include: Craniotomy: During a craniotomy, surgeons open up the patient's skull to access the region of the brain where the tumor is localized. They use intraoperative imaging & neuronavigation as glioblastoma grows into the healthy tissues as well. This makes the surgery risky but using image-guided techniques makes the procedure safe and accurate. Once the surgery is complete the patient undergoes sessions of chemo, radiotherapy, or radiosurgery to kill any of the remaining glioblastoma cells. Surgery for glioblastoma is also performed in Turkey by two other methods:
  1. Endoscopic surgery (procedure in which a tiny incision is made in the skull and the endoscope along with surgical tools is inserted. The whole procedure is controlled through the endoscopic stand)
  2. Robot-assisted surgery ( during the surgical robotic arms are used to remove the glioblastoma through a tiny incision in the skull. The surgeon controls the robot using a console).

Chemotherapy

Chemo is used to kill the glioblastoma cells that couldn’t be removed. In certain cases during the surgery, a thin wafer that contains the chemo drugs is placed in the patient’s brain. The drug dissolves slowly and kills the cancer cells. The intravenous route is also used to deliver the chemo drugs if cancer recurs.

Tumor treating field therapy

In this therapy adhesive patches are attached to the patient's scalp to deliver electric current. This helps in damaging the glioblastoma cells by stopping their growth

FAQ

The best treatment of glioblastoma is the surgical removal of the tumor followed by sessions of chemo or radiotherapy to kill the cells that could not be removed during the surgery.
Yes, a glioblastoma can go into remission and during that, you won’t notice any symptoms. But there are still chances of the tumor regrowing again. In such cases, the doctors start a treatment regimen that focuses on removing the solid tumor and then radiation treatments to kill the rest of the tumor cells.
