Leczenie raka trzustki — BP Klinik

BP Klinik is a multidisciplinary medical center in Istanbul's Beşiktaş district. The facility operates three departments: oncology, surgery, and rehabilitation. It combines clinical treatment with preventive genetic health programs.

Personalized Oncology and Surgical Care

Prof. Dr. Berrin Pehlivan leads the oncology department. She has over 20 years of experience and trained at Hacettepe University. Dr. Pehlivan also spent 4.5 years studying in France and Switzerland. She teaches at Bahcesehir University and has published research on radiotherapy outcomes.

The clinic provides individualized treatment for several cancer types:

• Thyroid cancer – managed through oncological surgery and radiotherapy
• Larynx cancer – diagnosed via endoscopic camera examination and tomography
• Pancreatic cancer – treatments include surgery and specialized radiotherapy
• Brain tumors – addressed with radiation therapy and postoperative follow-up
• Rectal cancer – treated using surgical removal and radiation

The surgical department also covers breast, skin, colon, and kidney cancers. Specialists perform debulking surgery to remove large masses. They also offer procedures to reduce cancer-related pain.

Advanced Radiation and Genetic Screening

Radiation treatments include external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy. Brachytherapy places radioactive sources near the tumor – either temporarily or permanently. For cervical cancer, the team uses intrakaviter brachytherapy. This applies radiation directly into body cavities, so healthy tissue is spared.

Prevention is another focus through the Life Genetics Test. This check-up uses a blood sample to identify disease predispositions:

• Antioxidant and detoxification mechanisms
• Cardiovascular and brain health
• Food intolerances and nutrigenomic traits
• Cancer genetics and energy metabolism

Results guide future health strategies rather than just predicting illness. A 6-person team – including a geneticist and oncologist – evaluates findings during a 2.5-hour assessment.

Rehabilitation and Supportive Services

Post-treatment care focuses on physical recovery and nutritional support. The rehabilitation unit offers oncologic physiotherapy to help patients manage difficulties after surgery or radiation. Specialists also provide Clinical Pilates for posture improvement and functional movement.

Supportive care includes dietitian consultations and intravenous vitamin supplements. Oncology doctors oversee these services to match each patient's recovery phase. Mental health support is also available through staff psychologists.

On-Site Diagnostics

The clinic is equipped for detailed cancer screenings and oncologic check-ups. These tools support early detection and treatment accuracy:

• Whole-body and abdominal MRI
• Mammography with tomosynthesis
• Gastroscopy with biopsy
• Thyroid function tests (T3, T4, TSH)
• Mutation testing for KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF
• Dermoscopy for skin cancer screening

These procedures allow for rapid staging and biological profiling before treatment starts.

International Patient Services

BP Klinik supports patients arriving from outside Turkey. The core medical team, including Dr. Pehlivan, speaks fluent English and French. The clinic provides English-language materials to help international patients understand their treatment plans. Health screenings and preventive programs can be completed during short visits to Istanbul.
