Yes, Istanbul hospitals treat leukemia, which the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) describes as a cancer that starts in the blood-forming tissue of the bone marrow, causing large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be made. NCI notes leukemia is grouped as acute or chronic and as lymphocytic or myeloid, and that treatment may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant. There is no single price in Turkey: cost is driven by the leukemia subtype, whether a transplant is needed, the length of inpatient stay, and the drug protocol. Rather than publish one number, OncologyIstanbul lists itemized procedures — including chemotherapy cycles and bone marrow transplant — on a dated price index and returns a case-specific quote through a free 72-hour case review. You pay the hospital directly. This is general information, not medical advice.
