There is no single price for cancer treatment in Turkey — the honest answer is a per-procedure range. As illustrative placeholder ranges pending Q3 2026 verified partner-hospital quotes: a chemotherapy cycle in Istanbul runs roughly $1,200–2,800, a full IMRT/VMAT radiotherapy course $6,500–9,500, breast cancer surgery $8,500–13,000, a PET-CT staging package $850–1,200, and an allogeneic bone marrow transplant $65,000–95,000 — with published saving stamps against typical German prices for the same protocols running from −51% to −71%. What you actually pay depends on diagnosis, stage, and protocol, which is why OncologyIstanbul publishes an itemized, dated price index of 21 procedures — each row listing exactly what is and is not included — instead of one headline number, and stamps every figure as a placeholder until real quotes land. For a case-specific figure, the free 72-hour second opinion returns itemized quotes from competing hospitals.
