Liv Hospital at Istinye University

At LIV Hospital, all types of malignant tumors are treated not only through surgery, but also with minimally invasive methods

Whenever possible, procedures are performed using robotic systems like the Da Vinci Surgical Robot, which enhances precision and safety for experienced surgeons. The hospital is also proud to feature the advanced TrueBeam radiotherapy system — a rare technology found in only a few hospitals worldwide.
LIV Hospital follows a holistic approach to cancer treatment

Each case is reviewed from multiple perspectives — by doctors across different specialties — and standardized treatment protocols are applied using a combination of methods to achieve the best outcomes. This is what constitutes their comprehensive cancer care strategy

Medical oncologists and psychologists work together to determine the most effective treatment plan for each patient. Final treatment decisions are made by a Tumor Board, based on modern approaches and tailored to each patient’s unique health profile. As a result, complications are minimized, and the entire treatment process becomes more manageable for the patient

This disease is very common worldwide and ranks among the top three most diagnosed types of cancer.
90% of colorectal cancer cases begin with the formation of a polyp.

Polyps are benign tumors that do not metastasize. If a polyp is removed during endoscopy before it becomes malignant, cancer can be considered prevented.

Early detection of colorectal cancer is extremely important, as this type of disease progresses without symptoms and develops relatively slowly.
Colonoscopy allows for a visual examination of the colon. The purpose of the procedure is to prevent cancer before it occurs or to detect the disease at its earliest stages.

The risk of developing colorectal cancer increases for everyone after the age of 50. For this reason, doctors at LIV Hospital recommend annual screenings as a preventive measure.
The risk is even higher in individuals with a genetic predisposition (those with a family history of cancer). For such patients, specialists recommend more frequent screenings and close monitoring of their health.

A wide range of professional care for children is available. The clinic treats all types of developmental abnormalities and performs surgeries when necessary in severe cases.
In addition to treatment, children receive comprehensive therapeutic support from doctors who specialize specifically in working with children.

I recently returned from Turkey, where I received treatment at Liv Hospital — everything was organized through Ras Medical, and I just have to share my experience

From the very beginning, I was accompanied by an incredibly attentive, responsive, and truly beautiful woman — Saltanat Khanum. She answered all my questions and helped at every stage: from choosing the doctor to arranging the flight and transfer. Even in moments of anxiety, I never felt alone — there was always communication, support, and clear guidance on what to do next

At the clinic itself — everything was perfectly organized. Modern equipment, polite doctors, fast diagnostics, and treatment started without delay. A translator was always present to help me understand everything.
Yes, going abroad for treatment is not easy. But thanks to Ras Medical and especially Saltanat Khanum, everything went calmly and smoothly

Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏 I truly recommend them to anyone looking for real help — not just “paperwork.” It was genuine care, attention, and real results

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the RAS Medical team and especially to Saltanat Khanum for their help in organizing my treatment in Turkey. Everything was well-coordinated — from the initial consultation to the actual trip: the documents were processed quickly, and an excellent clinic was chosen, with attentive doctors and top-level equipment. The interpreter and transfer services were also arranged without any delays. Thank you for your support and professionalism!

At first, I was scared to go abroad for treatment, but thanks to Ras Medical, the whole process went smoothly. Saltanat Khanum was always in touch, helping with the choice of clinic and doctors, and explaining every step along the way. In Turkey, we were met, accommodated, and assisted with all consultations. I was left with only positive impressions, especially from the care and heartfelt attitude. Thank you for your support and kindness!
