Is oral chemotherapy available in Turkey?

Yes. The National Cancer Institute notes that some chemotherapy is given as pills taken at home rather than by IV infusion, depending on the drug and the cancer being treated. Istanbul centers use oral chemotherapy where it is the appropriate regimen, and oral and IV drugs are sometimes combined. Whether an oral option fits your case depends on your specific diagnosis and plan, not on preference alone. A free case review of your reports clarifies which regimen applies before you travel. You can also verify a hospital's state authorization yourself beforehand.
