- 1 Specialist consultation Oncologist from $8
- 2 Diagnostic imaging Not yet priced
- 3 Biopsy Not yet priced

Managing it vs treating it
Modeled previewThe actual decision at this stage: the recurring cost of living with the condition vs the one-time treatment pathway. Unit prices only — we never extrapolate an annual total.
Managing — recurring
- Specialist follow-upOncologist $8 per visit
- Monitoring imaging Not yet sourced
- Ongoing medication Not yet sourced
- Published annual cost of management Not yet sourced

entry prices across 1 treatment option — one pathway per patient, never summed
Which side wins is a staging call — the care pathway ↓ frame that conversation with the specialist.
When flying pays off — the break-even line
Modeled previewThe go/no-go math everyone does on a napkin, done transparently: price here plus trip costs from United States (change in the header) — flying beats staying when your quote at home is above the line.
| Treatment option | Price here | + Trip (est.) | Flying pays above |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radiation Therapy 5-night modeled trip | from $10 | ≈ $2,370 | ≈ $2,380 |
Trip = flights, hotel, transport and medication from the same model as the all-in estimates — labeled estimates, not quotes. If your quote at home is below the line, staying home wins on pure price; quality, waits and urgency are separate calls — see the MCI index above.

Choosing between the options
Modeled previewWhat actually decides between the treatments above — and the checklist an expert would put to the specialist.
Decision factors
- 1How advanced the condition is — stage or severity narrows the menu first
- 2Your goal: cure, control, symptom relief or appearance
- 3Downtime you can afford — the options below differ by weeks
- 4Total cost with travel and follow-up, not just the sticker price
- 5Tumor biology — some options only work for specific types
Ask the specialist
- 1Will my case be reviewed by a multidisciplinary tumor board?
- 2How many of this exact procedure did you perform last year?
- 3What is your complication and revision rate for it?
- 4What anesthesia will be used, and who administers it?
- 5Who manages my aftercare once I fly home, and how?
- 6What exactly is included in the quoted price — and what isn't?
A planning frame — suitability is always the specialist's call.
Turkey for medical travel — safety, recourse & visa
Sourced Full Turkey guide →What matters if it goes wrong, and what it takes to get there — country-level, verifiable guidance in one place.
- Visa
- Turkey's e-Visa / visa-on-arrival system (evisa.gov.tr) is valid ONLY for tourism or commerce; work, study and other purposes require a visa issued by a Turkish embassy or consulate. Confirm your nationality's current rule before travelling.
- Medical / long-stay visa
- There is no separate medical/health-tourism visa — international patients enter on the standard e-Visa or visa-free tourist route like any other visitor. The health-tourism-specific control sits on the FACILITY side instead: treating providers must hold the Ministry of Health's 'Uluslararası Sağlık Turizmi Yetki Belgesi' authorization.
- Traveller safety
- Generally safe
- Legal recourse
- Limited recourse — use a medical-travel insurer
- Insurance
- Medical-travel & complication cover widely available
- International patients
- Hospitals accustomed to international patients
General guidance from public sources — confirm current rules for your nationality. Verified against: Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs — Visa information for foreigners.
