School of Oncology by Prof. Yesim Yİldirim

The journey of cancer diagnosis and treatment is a long and challenging one. From the first appearance of symptoms to seeking medical advice, undergoing various tests, and finally receiving a diagnosis through biopsy, it is a process that takes time. Once diagnosed, the journey continues with a new set of challenges. This may include surgery to remove the tumor, chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and radiation treatment. After completing these treatments, patients enter a long-term follow-up phase to monitor their recovery.
