A Complete Guide for International Patients
Why More Patients Are Choosing Turkey for Cancer Surgery
Receiving a cancer diagnosis brings uncertainty and urgent decisions. If you’re exploring treatment abroad, choosing where and how to start can feel overwhelming.
Türkiye has become a leading destination for cancer surgery, combining advanced technology, internationally accredited teams, and a coordinated, patient-centered approach. At BB Global Health, we guide you through every step—clinically and logistically—so your journey is smooth, safe, and supported from the first message to your return home.
Step 1: Connect with Our International Patient Team
Contact us via secure online form, email, or phone. A dedicated patient coordinator will be your single point of contact, ensuring clear communication, timely updates, and personalized guidance throughout your care.
Step 2: Share Your Medical Information (Securely)
Accurate planning starts with complete and current records. Please send:
-
Medical history and recent pathology reports
-
Imaging (CT/MRI/PET) and relevant lab results
-
Details of prior treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy)
-
Current medications, allergies, and comorbidities
All documents are transferred through our encrypted, internationally compliant system to protect your privacy.
Step 3: Multidisciplinary Review & Remote Consultation
Your case is reviewed by our multidisciplinary oncology board. You’ll then have a video/phone consultation with a lead surgeon to:
-
Receive a second opinion or confirm your diagnosis
-
Discuss surgical and non-surgical options and timelines
-
Understand recovery expectations and a transparent cost estimate
Our goal is clarity and confidence—before you make any travel decisions.
Step 4: Preparing for Your Trip to Türkiye
Our coordination team helps with:
-
Accommodation close to the hospital
-
Airport transfers with private drivers
-
Interpreter services in multiple languages

Visa guidance letters (if needed)
We handle logistics so you can focus on your health.
Step 5: Arrival & Pre-Operative Phase
Upon arrival, you’ll meet your care team. The pre-op phase includes a physical exam, any additional tests, and a final review of your surgical plan. We address all questions to ensure you feel prepared and supported.
After Your Surgery: Recovery & Follow-Up
Before discharge, you’ll receive:
-
A clear treatment summary and medication plan
