Can I get eye (ocular) cancer treatment in Turkey?

Yes. According to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, the most common primary intraocular cancer in adults is uveal (ocular) melanoma, and in children it is retinoblastoma. Istanbul ocular-oncology centers offer eye- and vision-preserving options where possible: radiation such as plaque brachytherapy or charged-particle radiation, laser or thermotherapy, and surgery — local resection, or enucleation for large tumors. Retinoblastoma is treated with chemotherapy, including intra-arterial and intravitreal routes. This care is highly subspecialized, so a free case review confirms what your reports establish first, and you can verify a hospital's state authorization yourself.
