Lung cancer, which stubbornly maintains its ranking as
the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women, and whose direct
relation to smoking has been proven beyond any doubt, remains one of our
Department’s principle focal points.
Our Department is able to perform what is still the most
important element in the comprehensive treatment of the disease and in
achieving noteworthy increases in life expectancy – that is, the definitive,
multidisciplinary determination of the most appropriate method of cancer
treatment.
Equipped with the most advanced technological facilities,
Yeditepe University Hospital is able to deliver early stage diagnosis and open
surgery, and to treat cancers with entirely endoscopic (video-assisted keyhole
surgery) operations in appropriate cases, without compromising the fundamental
principles of cancer surgery. We also carry out various stent and endoscopic
airway-opening (debulking) procedures during the oncological treatment process
in order to treat inoperable tumor-related airway blockage cases.
In addition, our Department is noted for its surgical
treatment of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, a vessel- and nerve- compression related
condition developing in the entrance to the chest cavity that causes symptoms
such as arm pain, colds, loss of sensation and weakness.
