I came to Anadolu for a bone marrow transplant after all other options seemed to fail. Professor Kansoy and his team were amazing. They explained everything clearly, even with the language barrier, and they were there for me every step of the way. Now, a year later, I'm finally feeling like myself again.

I cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Selçuk Göçmen for the exceptional care and treatment I received during my brain tumor diagnosis and treatment." Dr. Göçmen made me feel at ease from the time I met him. He patiently explained each stage of the treatment procedure to me, and answered all of my concerns. His expertise is outstanding, and I have no doubt that his talent and dedication were important in my full recovery. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Göçmen and all of his staff for their amazing care and support throughout my journey."

I got up one morning with half of my face paralyzed. It was horrible! I rushed to the hospital, where they diagnosed me with cerebral palsy. Fortunately, someone mentioned Dr. Göçmen. He promised me that with the right treatment, I would be able to recover completely. Dr. Göçmen's approach was unique. To get my muscles working again, he used a combination of medicines, exercises, and even electrical stimulation. Initially, my improvement was gradual, but Dr. Göçmen's encouragement and skill kept me going. After a few months, I was finally able to smile normally.

My father was diagnosed with Spinal cord tumor last year. He was in immense pain, so we decided to seek medical help. Upon searching, we found Dr. Mehmet Calgar, a famous Turkish Neurosurgeon. We booked an appointment with him. He recommended surgery for my father. At first, my father was nervous but the doctor made him comfortable by listening to his concerns and explaining to him the procedure. As expected, the surgery was successful, and my father is coming to normal life. We would like to thank Dr. Mehmet Calgar and Anadolu Medical Center for their excellent medical service.

I got my self-confidence back thanks to Dr. Engin Selamioğlu and his staff at Medical Park Hospital! He performed my nose surgery. Only after the first online consultation with Dr. Engin I knew he was the one who would do my nose surgery. I had a really good chat with him at that time, and he carefully addressed all my expectations and explained the entire process to me. I was a little bit scared at the beginning, but the surgery went well. I feel so happy with my new look.

I was gaining a lot of weight, which felt abnormal to me. However, after continuous diet and exercise, there was no visible improvement. That’s when my doctor suggested I consult an endocrinologist and get my hormone level checked. We were in Turkey then, so I visited Dr. Gulsum Gonulalan upon my colleague’s recommendation. Her attitude was great, and she counseled me perfectly. That was the time I found out that I had Cushing’s Syndrome. Dr. Gulsum started my medications immediately, and my health significantly improved in a few weeks.

I had always heard good reviews about Turkish doctors but never got a chance to visit the country. Last year, I shifted to Turkey for some work-related projects. I had coronary artery blockage, so I was on medications. Due to the sudden change, my condition started deteriorating. My friend accompanied me to Dr. Arda Ozyuksel at Medicana Hospital. I was amazed by the environment at the hospital. The staff was very cooperative, and it had excellent infrastructure. The management was following proper protocols. I was referred to Dr. Ozyuksel, who did my check-up and performed a few tests, including ECG. After examination, he recommended coronary artery stenting. He planned surgery after a week. Everything was well managed, and I was satisfied with the outcome. I went to the doctor for a few follow-up sessions. Overall it was a good experience.

What is optic nerve glioma, and what are its symptoms?
Optic nerve glioma is a tumor that affects part of the optic nerve. The optic nerve connects the eye to the brain. As the tumor progresses, it presses on the optic nerve and causes vision problems.
Optic nerve gliomas can affect:
- One or both optic nerves carry visual information to the brain from each eye.
- The optic chiasm is where the optic nerves cross each other in front of the brain's hypothalamus. Typically, optic nerve gliomas are benign, slow-growing neoplasms.
Most often occurs in children under 20 years of age. Most cases are diagnosed by the age of 5 years. The first symptoms of optic nerve glioma may resemble normal visual impairment. The intensity of their manifestation depends on the child's age and the tumor's location.
As the neoplasm grows, more obvious common symptoms of optic nerve glioma may be connected. According to the American Cancer Society, the most common causes of this tumor are:
- Strabismus, difficulty reading or uncharacteristic turns to see things from the corner of your eye.
- Protrusion of the eyeball. Occurs when the tumor grows to such an extent that it pushes the eye out of the socket.
- Hormonal problems.
- Abnormal growth, sudden weight gain or loss, frequent urination, or early puberty.
How is optic nerve glioma diagnosed in Turkish clinics?
In Turkish medical centers, each patient undergoes a comprehensive examination before treating glioma of the optic nerve and any other disease. In the best clinics in Turkey, the diagnosis of optic nerve glioma is carried out using advanced laboratory and instrumental studies. This allows not only to confirm of the diagnosis but also to detect of hidden diseases that may be contraindications to a particular method of therapy. Correct diagnosis is the key to effective treatment. In the best clinics in Turkey, before drawing up a treatment plan for optic nerve glioma, patients are prescribed:
- CT scan of the brain. This examination method allows you to detect a tumor in the optic nerve and see if metastases have appeared.
- MRI of the brain. MRI makes it possible to study the state of the affected and neighboring tissues in more detail. An MRI can reveal the size of the tumor, its shape, and a more precise location. If the patient has contraindications for CT or MRI, he may be prescribed an x-ray of the skull and an x-ray of the orbit. During this procedure, the doctor can see the symptoms of glioma of the optic nerve:
- Unilateral expansion of the cavity of the orbit and the optic nerve canal, their darkening, thinning of the orbit walls.

Reviews of patients from all over the world about Turkish clinics confirm the high level of medical services and the effectiveness of treatment.
Surgical treatment of glioma of the optic nerve
Surgery is rarely used to treat optic nerve glioma. Because during the intervention, there is an increased risk of loss of vision due to injury to the optic chiasm. Surgery may help when the tumor is located in the optic nerve. The intervention can be a relief treatment for advanced conditions with loss of vision and severe pain.
The best clinics in Turkey can perform surgical treatment of glioma of the optic nerve with a lateral transorbital approach, preserving, if possible, the eyeball and all oculomotor muscles.
Chemotherapy for the treatment of optic nerve glioma
Anticancer drugs can stop the growth of the tumor and reduce it. Chemotherapy for treating glioma of the optic nerve saves vision and delays the need for radiation therapy. It is prescribed for a rapid increase in the tumor and deterioration of vision. In Turkish clinics, advanced drugs for the treatment of cancer are available. They allow a faster and stronger impact on the tumor with fewer side effects.
Radiation therapy for the treatment of glioma of the optic nerve
Starting radiation therapy early can minimize vision loss. In the best clinics in Turkey, advanced radiation therapy with modulated intensity or tumor irradiation using the CyberKnife system can be prescribed for the treatment of optic nerve glioma.
These procedures allow you to direct radiation exclusively to the neoplasm with minimal exposure to healthy tissues. But even advanced radiation therapy is not prescribed if the patient has a high risk of developing secondary tumors after radiation.
