"Clinic definitely recommend
When they learned what was needed in the clinic, they didn’t even know where to run and whom to contact. Coordinators helped to select a clinic. They gave us a doctor. Everything went great, the doctor is a true professional.  Separately, I want to note the attitude to patients. We were met at the airport, brought to the clinic and there was already a translator waiting. Literally "by the hand" we were taken to the doctors, everyone translated. Then they provided a taxi to the hotel.   During the operation, the ward was provided for two people - for the patient and the attendant; both of them were included in the cost of the operation.   After surgery, the doctor held a consultation, making sure that you can fly back. And only then answered questions remotely that arose.  Clinic definitely recommend Read more less

Hello! My husband was treated at the University Hospital Hadassah. He has liver cancer. He is extremely impressed with the quality of medical care, the attention of professors Daniel Shuval, Alan Bloom, Ayal Hubert and their colleagues. He is grateful for the care of him. We had the opportunity to choose treatment in 5 leading hospitals in the world. And we are glad that by choosing HADASS we made the best and the right choice. Because this hospital has world-class medical care. But this would not have happened if it had not been for the wonderful organization and work of the specialists from the International Department who have been helping us all the time. With all my heart I thank everyone who helped and continues to help Pavel Kalchev in his fight against cancer. I wish all HADASS specialists health. Health for their families.

The staff is great. At the moment, we are waiting for the results of the tests, since the wrong diagnosis was made in Ukraine. In Ukraine, sarcoma was treated for 7 months and it is gone. We are not saying that there is no oncology, but the fact that there is no sarcoma is already pleasing. Received very nicely and politely. The coordinators are Russian-speaking. Every day they keep track of all matters. Those who passed the tests were not left alone for a single minute. Currently, we are waiting for a meeting with an oncologist and a radiologist. I recommend

Everything is very well organized, fast communication between the doctor, translator, and financial department. We had a problem with housing, they didn’t abandon us at night, the clinic staff helped. We did an examination, so I can’t say about the results of the treatment yet. The facilities at the clinic are wonderful, we consulted with 2 doctors, we have a diagnosis and a treatment method. The radiologist is competent and specialist, but not verbose. I didn’t have enough explanations about the risks, etc., the plastic surgeon explained everything in detail, answered all my questions, he was a very nice person. The organization of the trip is at the highest level, the organization is impressive. The diagnosis has been made, treatment methods have been determined, we plan to come for treatment in six months, because the prices are too expensive for us. I can write about the quality of treatment after treatment.

From the minute I was inquiring about an appointment through to an entire 2 hours of tests, I felt completely taken care of. Being in a foreign country where it’s not your first language can be daunting when needing healthcare. My healthcare navigator Leen was so wonderful. She brought me to each doctor or department, got me situated and was also my translator. She was kind, compassionate & so incredibly helpful. I was incredibly grateful to have her by my side. I saw Dr. Bassols who was incredibly warm, knowledgeable and put my fears at ease. The other technicians were also wonderful and caring. I highly recommend the staff and care I received at Centro Medico Teknon and the team from bookimed that connected me to them. Thank you everyone!!

I was really nervous about a new breast lump that developed. I reached out to Book I med and explained my situation. I was directed to Hisar Intercontinental Hospital. They did biopsy, ultrasound and PET scan. Although I wanted surgery, doctor explained it wasn't in my best interest and recommended medication instead. Doctors were careful to come up with plan, they didn't rush to make decisions. I had a medical coordinator who assisted in transportation to and from hospital and coordinating tests and doctor visits. I was also assigned an interpreter for Turkish to English.They were both wonderful and it was nice to have assistance and smiling faces when I arrived. They always took time to listen to concerns and answer questions. I met with 2 doctors, a breast cancer surgeon and oncologist. They both were professional and friendly. They met with a tumor board of physicians to discuss my plan.I feel like I got professional care and good treatment plan. The hospital was clean and modern. They did a good job with the tests, I didn't feel any pain from the doctor who did my biopsy. Believe me when you have something as scary as a breast lump you want to be in good hands.I paid for each test and medication individually with credit card. I was told the cost before each purchase. Even though the whole bill wasn't cheap, it's much much lower cost than I could get in United States. As a self pay patient I am glad for that also. So overall even though I was struggling with something really bad(tumor) I feel like I got great and professional care at a decent price. I would truly recommend this to anyone. And Turkey is such a beautiful country with friendly people. There is hidden artwork everywhere. So even though I am going through this ordeal being in beautiful Turkey makes it not so bad. The food here is really good and cheap. I'm staying in Old city which has tons of Cafe restaurants. In your spare time just sitting at a Cafe and watching the myriad of people walking by is fun. I am confident I am going to beat this breast tumor with the help of the wonderful care given at Hisar Intercontinental Hospital.

Hello everybody. Thanks to the Clinic for a successful operation. To the Neurosurgeon Mustafa Onaz and Professor Gohan. We are diagnosed with Brain cancer, the last stage, malignant. The tumor was twice as large. They saved my husband's life. Masha Allah. The operation was 8-9 hours. they deleted everything, I consider this a record. It was a difficult operation. Well done. At our KZ they could not remove everything that was, only a small part was removed and that's it. I bow to you. At the expense of the clinic. Service At the Highest Level.

In principle, the visit went very well, only good impressions remained. Now there are certain problems, because doctors at home do not agree with the diagnosis that was made in China, but we were provided with professional help at the Food Clinic. Despite the fact that the full-time translator was on vacation and we took it on our own, the visit went very well. The rooms are very good, they look like 5 star rooms.

FAQ about Melanoma surgery

Surgical excision of melanoma is the main treatment for early-stage skin cancer. .

In stage 0 and stage I melanoma, removal of the primary tumor may be the only procedure necessary for complete recovery.

The main types of operations performed for melanoma:

  • wide excision (excision);
  • micrographic removal (Mohs operation).

Wide excision

Wide excision (excision) involves the removal of the formation along with some healthy tissue around the edges. The tumor is excised with a scalpel under local anesthesia, making an indent of 0.5-2 cm. The size of the surgical margin depends on the thickness (germination) of the melanoma deep into the skin.

After removal of the formation, a suture is applied.

Formation thickness

Surgical edge

non-invasive melanoma

0.5 cm

less than 1 mm

1 cm

from 2 to 4 mm

2 cm

more than 4 mm

2 cm

A pathologist examines the removed tissue for tumor involvement. If malignant cells are found in the border tissue, irradiation is performed to destroy the remaining formation. A biopsy of the sentinel nodes is also mandatory.

If malignant cells in the sentinel lymph node were found, lymph node dissection ( lymphadenectomy ) is performed - removal of the affected lymph nodes.

Mohs operation

The Mohs operation is the removal of the formation in stages, in layers. Each layer removed during the operation is examined under a microscope to detect cancer cells. The next layer is removed as long as there are tumor cells in it. This approach is gentle and allows you to remove the tumor, preserving healthy skin as much as possible.

Mohs surgery can be used for lesions of the face , where a wide excision can leave an unwanted cosmetic defect. Many doctors recommend Mohs surgery only for non- melanoma skin cancers.

With damage to the limbs and deep germination of the tumor, amputation can be performed. In an effort to preserve as much tissue as possible, doctors also offer radiation and local chemotherapy (isolated limb perfusion) as alternatives.

Removal of melanoma at different stages

At stages 0 and I, the main method of treatment is a wide excision.

At stage II, the tumor is also excised, however, a biopsy of the sentinel lymph node is mandatory, and if it is damaged, lymphadenectomy is performed.

At stage III melanoma, a wide excision is performed, removal of the lymph nodes in which malignant cells were found, and drug therapy.

At the IV (last) stage, the removal of the primary tumor takes place whenever possible. For the treatment of metastases, drug therapy and / or radiation are mandatory.

Postoperative care

To accelerate the healing of a postoperative wound, it is necessary to strictly follow the recommendations of a specialist:

  • keep the excision site dry, protecting with a sterile bandage;
  • apply an antibiotic ointment to the bandage as prescribed by the doctor;
  • avoid intense physical activity;
  • if you experience any unpleasant symptoms, consult a doctor.

Side effects and complications of surgery

  • infection;
  • bleeding;
  • cosmetic defect (scarring and scar);
  • lymphedema (when removing lymph nodes).

Lymphedema is swelling and swelling of the extremities caused by stagnation of lymph during surgical removal of lymph nodes.

The symptoms of lymphedema are:

  • swelling of the arm or leg from the side of the removed lymph node;
  • feeling of heaviness in the hands;
  • decreased limb flexibility.

Lymphedema can develop immediately after lymph node dissection, and after a long time. Carefully monitor the condition of the body and inform the doctor about any changes!
