Can I get mesothelioma treatment in Turkey?

Yes. Istanbul hospitals provide the mesothelioma pathway the National Cancer Institute describes for both pleural and peritoneal disease. For tumors that can be removed, surgery is an option — pleurectomy with decortication, or cytoreduction combined with HIPEC for peritoneal disease. Chemotherapy pairs pemetrexed with a platinum drug, radiation has a role, and for unresectable pleural mesothelioma the FDA-approved first-line immunotherapy combines nivolumab with ipilimumab. Honestly, mesothelioma is often found late, so treatment is frequently about controlling the disease rather than curing it. Start with a free case review of your pathology and imaging, and verify a hospital's authorization yourself.
