When looking for a doctor to help treat cancer, patients should look for cancer treatment specialists. These specialists are trained in the field of oncology. Patients should look for experience, training, and that the specialist of their choice has been board-certified in specific areas of medicine. The physician who is board-certified in medical oncology or surgery will ensure their qualifications in their field.


In most cases, primary care physicians will refer patients to a cancer specialist. Medical organizations such as the American Medical Association, or the American College of Surgeons will be able to offer the names of cancer specialists in the U.S., as well as through cancer organizations throughout the country of origin.


For example, a brief overview of one excellent cancer treatment facility is the Florence Nightingale Hospital in Turkey. They are JCI Accredited and provide patient-focused and quality approach in providing health-care services. They specialize in:

  • Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery - Angiography and Rhythm Disorders Center
  • Robotic Heart and Prostate Surgery (daVinci)
  • Organ Transplantation Center
  • Oncology Center
  • Plastic Surgery Center

Florence Nightingale offers international patients healthcare and hospitality service in their preferred language. Patients are received at the airport, provided with comprehensive service during their stay at the hospital, and transferred to the airport for their return trip.

There are options for excellent, accredited and highly trained cancer specialists when it comes to cancer treatments today. Costs in the U.S. are extremely prohibitive, and no one should ever have to choose between their health and their wallet.
