Oncology ; Cancer Treatment in Turkey ? Advanced Care with Modern Technology

Introduction
Oncology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer. It studies how cancer develops, the role of genetics, and the behavior of abnormal cells. Oncology is a multidisciplinary field, combining medical, surgical, and radiation sciences to offer comprehensive cancer care.
At SkyUp Health, we work with Turkey?s most advanced oncology centers and highly experienced oncologists. Our mission is to provide world-class cancer treatment options that combine cutting-edge technologies, early diagnosis, and personalized therapies to help patients achieve the best possible outcomes.
Branches of Oncology
Oncology is divided into three main disciplines:
Medical Oncology


Uses chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.


Focuses on systemic treatment of cancer.


Radiation Oncology


Uses high-energy X-rays, protons, or advanced linear accelerators to destroy cancer cells.


Can be used alone or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy.


Surgical Oncology


Involves biopsy, tumor removal, and reconstructive procedures.


Often the first step in both diagnosis and treatment.


Additional specialized areas include:
Gynecological Oncology: Focused on cancers of the female reproductive system.


Pediatric Oncology: Specializes in childhood cancers.


Hematology-Oncology: Focuses on blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.

Modern Cancer Treatments in Turkey
Turkey is at the forefront of oncology, offering world-class technologies and innovative therapies:
Chemotherapy ; Hormone Therapy ? Classic medical treatments for controlling tumor growth.


Targeted Therapy ? Drugs that attack specific genetic mutations in cancer cells.


Immunotherapy ? Boosts the body?s immune system to fight cancer, including checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapy.


Radiotherapy ; Radiosurgery ? Advanced technologies such as IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy), CyberKnife, Gamma Knife, and Proton Therapy for high precision.


Minimally Invasive ; Robotic Surgery ? Reduces recovery time and surgical risks.


Bone Marrow ; Stem Cell Transplantation ? Critical for leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood cancers.


Clinical Trials ; Precision Medicine ? Genetic testing to tailor treatment for each patient.


?
Hematology ? Blood ; Bone Marrow Disorders
Hematology is closely linked to oncology and focuses on benign and malignant blood diseases.
Benign Conditions:
Anemia


Sickle cell anemia


Thalassemia (Mediterranean anemia)


Coagulation disorders


Thrombocytopenia


Malignant Conditions:
Leukemia (blood cancer)


Lymphoma


Multiple myeloma


Bone marrow transplantation plays a central role in treating many hematological conditions, requiring fully equipped units and highly skilled hematology teams.
Importance of Early Diagnosis
Early detection dramatically improves the chances of successful cancer treatment. Biopsies, imaging (MRI, PET-CT, ultrasound), and genetic screening help doctors identify cancer in its earliest stages, when it is most treatable.
Anyone experiencing persistent symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, chronic fatigue, persistent pain, unusual bleeding, or prolonged cough should consult an oncology specialist immediately.
