Updates

A dated record of what has actually changed on this site — price refreshes, new coverage, published tools and pages — not a vague “last updated” stamp. If it's listed here, it's live on the site today.

  1. Q3 2026

    Turkey Oncology Price Index refreshed

    21 procedures across 5 categories — diagnostics, surgery, systemic therapy, radiation and transplant — repriced from partner-hospital quotes. Published as an open, licensed Dataset (JSON + CSV downloads) alongside the on-page table, with the next refresh scheduled for October 2026.

  2. Q3 2026

    Medical review board page published

    A dedicated /reviewers hub listing all 7 named physicians who medically review and sign the guides, cancer-treatment pages and price entries carrying their name — each entry links straight to that doctor's own profile instead of leaving 'medically reviewed by' as unverifiable dead text.

  3. Q3 2026

    Country-specific entry pages for 5 source countries

    Added /from/ru, /from/kz, /from/uz, /from/az and /from/kg — pages tailored to the countries this service actually serves, each surfacing the language-matched doctors and a relevant patient story instead of one generic international page.

  4. Q2 2026

    Plain-language oncology glossary published

    18 terms that come up in tumor-board reports and hospital quotes — TNM staging, HER2, sentinel node biopsy, HIPEC and more — defined in plain language, each linked back to the price rows, treatment pages and cancer hubs they relate to.

  5. Q2 2026

    Interactive cost estimator added

    A guided estimator tool at /estimator that walks a prospective patient through their situation to produce a realistic Istanbul price range, drawing on the same price-index data published at /prices.

  6. Q2 2026

    Cancer-treatment coverage across 6 cancer types

    Structured treatment content for breast, lung, prostate, gynecologic, brain and blood-cancer (bone marrow transplant) care — each cancer hub lists the specific procedures offered (for example lumpectomy with sentinel node biopsy, VATS lung lobectomy, robotic radical prostatectomy, craniotomy with neuronavigation) and the named specialists who perform them.

  7. Q2 2026

    FAQ hub expanded to 34 answered questions

    Grouped by real patient concerns — costs & logistics, diagnostics, treatment decisions and after-treatment care — and marked up as FAQPage structured data so answer engines can cite them directly.

  8. Q1 2026

    Doctor and hospital directories published

    Profiles for 8 named physicians and 3 partner hospitals, each with their own page, specialty detail and structured-data markup (Physician / MedicalClinic) instead of anonymous roster mentions.

  9. Q1 2026

    Patient story and guide library launched

    4 patient stories and a library of long-form guides — including a dedicated Turkey vs. Germany vs. Korea comparison — each carrying a named author and a separate, dated medical reviewer credit.

  10. Q1 2026

    Free 72-hour tumor board second opinion funnel shipped

    A structured intake flow at /second-opinion collecting reports and contact details and committing to a 72-hour turnaround for a written assessment, a professor's video response, and itemized competing hospital quotes — at no cost.
