Acibadem Bodrum Hospital's international patient service center assists the patients through arranging their consultation, diagnostic services, treatment procedures, billing services, and language interpretation. Acibadem Bodrum Hospital provides cutting-edge medical facilities through a stellar team of healthcare providers and advanced technologies, which include: Single-dose radiotherapy This method is primarily used in breast cancer operations as well as pancreas, colon, and soft tissue cancer surgeries. In breast cancer, the location of the tumor is irradiated at a high dose after the breast tumor is surgically removed. The radiotherapy procedure is performed by the radiation oncology team during the operation. Single-dose radiotherapy enables irradiating the tumor site, as the target can be directly seen in the surgical procedure. The patient's skin is not exposed to radiation, as only the tumor bed is irradiated, and thus, potential future dermal side effects are minimized. MR Linac MR-LINAC can irradiate and destroy the tumors, which are located in organs that move during treatment, with pinpoint accuracy. The nearby healthy tissues are meticulously spared while irradiating the tumor. MR-LINAC is a "smart radiotherapy" technique that targets the tumor using special imaging modalities and measurements and uses radiation to destroy tumors. MR-LINAC has far more developed equipment compared to conventional radiotherapy and provides radiation oncologists and patients with new and important gains thanks to MR (Magnetic Resonance) integrated into radiotherapy. The radiation beams are accurately focused on the tumor, which is destroyed very precisely even when the tumor moves during treatment, for example when the patient breathes. A radiation oncologist can see the tumor clearly, similar to a surgeon who sees the tumor during surgery and deliver the dose to destroy the tumor in a meticulous manner, like a surgeon. Digital mammography with 3D tomosynthesis Three-dimensional mammography (breast tomosynthesis) scans the breast tissue in three dimensions. Multiple images of breast tissue are acquired on various projections, and a three-dimensional image of breast tissue is created at 1-mm intervals. It is used for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. Breast is compressed with a special mechanism of the device to acquire multiple digital images in thin layers on various projections, and thus, 3D cross-sectional images of these thin layers (interval = 1 mm) are read by radiologists. The patient is exposed to 30 percent less radiation, and high-quality images are acquired when compared to other mammography scanners. Breasts are evaluated over digital images of thin breast layers rather than a single image. Thus, parts of the breast that are more prone to breast cancer are scanned in more detail. Moreover, it differentiates the conditions that can be confused with cancer. TrueBeam TrueBeam is a linear accelerator used in radiotherapy. TrueBeam uses four different radiotherapy techniques: IGRT with IMRT, Rapidarc, SRT, and SRS. TrueBeam can be used in the treatment of all cancers that require radiotherapy, and it irradiates tumors that are smaller than 0.5 mm. TrueBeam is preferred, especially for the treatment of small tumors in the brain or that are nearby risky organs in the whole body. TrueBeam STX is used for radiotherapy of tumors in organs, such as the lungs, liver, and breasts, that require respiratory monitoring. Since radiation beams are delivered while respiratory motions are monitored (respiratory gating), the location of the tumor can be irradiated at a high dose. Techniques in TrueBeam IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy): Radiation with adjusted intensity RAPIDARC: The technique is used under the guidance of imaging, and it has a mechanism that can turn around the patient who lies on the treatment table. STR (Stereotactic Radiotherapy): Punctuate radiation in multiple sequences. SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery): Punctuate radiation in a single session. SRS/SRT: targets small tumors with punctuate radiation. IGRT (Image Guided Radiotherapy): Accuracy of the target site is determined with millimetric precision, and the patient’s position can be corrected for radiotherapy in case of any deviations. IMRT and RAPIDARC: If the tumor surrounds and extends very close to an organ that should be spared, IMRT or RAPIDARC can be preferred. Respiratory-gated TrueBeam All radiotherapy techniques used in cancer treatment, such as IMRT, IGRT, Gated RT, RapidArch, SRS, and SBRT, are used in combination. TrueBeam STX is used for radiotherapy of tumors in organs, such as the lungs, liver, and breasts, that require respiratory monitoring. Since radiation beams are delivered while respiratory motions are monitored (respiratory gating), the location of the tumor can be irradiated at a high dose. Healthy tissues are exposed to less radiation as the beams are focused on the center of the target. Very high doses can be delivered in a single session. Mechanical systems move fast. The duration of irradiation is shortened as the radiation is delivered quickly.

It happens due to damage to the inner layer of the coronary artery. This damage causes fatty plaques to deposit on the inner side of the artery and cause a condition called atherosclerosis. There is no proper cure for this disease, but a healthy lifestyle can help prevent it from getting worse. It can also be treated through medications and surgeries. Its symptoms include: ·        Angina ·        Pressure in the chest .        Pain in the neck, shoulders, and back. ·        Shortness of breath ·        Fatigue Acibadem Bodrum Hospital has a separate coronary intensive care unit for critical patients with heart diseases. Acibadem Bodrum Hospital's dedicated and skilled nurses and physicians use telemeters to listen to the heart’s rhythms so that the treatment can be started promptly. •    ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE Alzheimer’s is a disorder defined as a progressive neurological disease that causes the brain to shrink and brain cells to die. Alzheimer’s disease progressively decreases a person's thinking capacity and memory. The early signs of this disease include forgetting about recent events and conversations. As the disease progresses, the person will acquire serious memory impairment. There is no permanent cure for Alzheimer's disease, but treatments are available for controlling the associated symptoms. The signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include:  Difficulty remembering recent things  Repeat questions and statements over and over.  I don’t remember conversations.  Get lost in familiar places. Acibadem Bodrum Hospital uses neurologic and psychiatric examinations, dietician and psychologist consultations, and neuropsychological tests to ensure an early diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan for Alzheimer’s disease. Acibadem Bodrum Hospital doctors use tests like the Mrzi and CT scan to diagnose the problem in the brain and then go for the treatment accordingly. •    CATARACT A cataract is a disease associated with the loss of transparency and blurring of the eye’s natural lens behind the pupil, which gives us the ability to see. In other words, as a result of this disease, a person sees his surroundings in a fog. A cataract is an eye disease seen in older people, but it is also seen in newborns, those who have diabetes, those with eye injuries, and can be observed in long-term drug users such as cortisone. Cataracts are not treated with lenses or medications. There is no way to prevent the rapid growth of cataracts. The only way to get rid of cataracts is surgery. Symptoms of cataracts include: ·        Gradual impairment of vision .        Sensitivity to light (bright light) ·        Double vision ·        Difficulty reading ·        Impaired night vision ·        Faded, yellowed colors At Acibadem Bodrum Hospital, the latest technology and instruments are used to treat cataracts.
