The doctor has caused trust
In order
Bookimed was advised by a friend when she was diagnosed and the question arose of confirming it and obtaining a treatment protocol. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the diagnosis, Ukraine could not be considered. In general, everything seems confusing when far from medicine and you do not understand how further.
1. At night, Bookimed wrote - in the morning they called, identified the coordinator Daria (medical unit), they received copies of the test results, consulted and suggested further actions: clinics, expenses, etc. I chose Anadolu (Turkey), although Turkey was not considered Turkey at first , but having studied the info on the Internet and the reviews made a decision.
2. Logistics (flight, transfer, resettlement, etc.) organized by Barbara. Tickets, reservations, and so on — we didn’t do at all.) Now I wondered if there were any rust or comments — but no, everything was clear, correct, prompt responses, constant communication and full support. That's really all at a decent level.
3. By hotels: it was possible to choose on the territory of Anadolu or nearby (there was a list of hotels that provide transfer to the clinic) I decided that it would be boring on the territory of Anadolu, some patients and chose Elite hotel darica, in the hope that in addition to the clinic I would not have to be in the room. Hotel standards, but in early December, the kitchen is empty and very sad. But the room is spacious, modern - ok, were not hungry, although probably for all my trips and hotels - it was the most meager breakfast and dinner. But in the room kettle, which was very useful to us. Friendly staff
4. In the Medical Center Anadolu accompanied Suleiman. In general, at all stages - accompanying higher praise. They know their business: correct, unobtrusive, but leading and most importantly constructive.
5. The clinic itself: a large, bright, modern, functional, no frills, but it became very sad that there is simply nothing like this in Ukraine. Reception in the queue, waiting for reception for a couple of hours, but the chairs are incredibly comfortable, you can be in the Cafe (there are also sofas, there are different snacks) - they will call. There is a dining room, but there is a clear time for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In short, there are no comments when they immediately warn you that you need to wait and the waiting conditions are comfortable.
6. Reception at prof. Zafera Gulbash: there is nothing special to write, most of the techniques of normal clinics, the behavior of doctors is professional, the examination, the study of test results, the questions and the definition of further actions, the tests are done quickly, all electronically immediately on the monitor for the doctor. The doctor has caused trust.
7. It should be noted that we are at the very beginning: reviewing the diagnosis. Conclusion: everything and support from Bookimed and being in Anadolu was comfortable in all respects. We move on. I definitely recommend
It was excellent, very profesional. The translator made the whole experience smooth and easy to deal with. Also, the medical staff and the doctor made sure that everything was clear and recommended the medication required for the upcoming phase.

Thanks to Suleiman and translator Zahida for the care during my stay in the clinic
I was very examined by the TCM and the staff and translators and doctors really liked everything. In the clinic, everything is organized for the comfort of patients. Special thanks to Suleiman and translator Zahida for the care during my stay in the clinic. Thanks to Prof. Zafer Gyulbash for professionalism.
"I liked the service very much, a completely different level compared to medicine in Ukraine
I liked the service very much, a completely different level compared to medicine in Ukraine. The professor immediately called for trust, transfer, settlement, everything was very clear and fast. The only thing was a hitch immediately upon arrival, the attendant was not immediately found, but they turned to the airport staff and they were happy to help to contact. He was at the airport, just a little apart. The rest of the stay was very comfortable and did not require anything from our side. Everyone was accompanied by companions, translators and medical staff.

My father’s medical experience with Memorial Şişli was great. Everything was well-organized, and we felt supported throughout the entire process. The doctor was professional, knowledgeable, and patient in explaining every detail, which reassured us that my father was in good hands.
I was also really impressed by how quickly everything was arranged. There were no unnecessary delays, and the entire medical service was coordinated seamlessly. Our online medical coordinator was always available whenever we had questions, making the whole process much easier. Having a interpreter readily available was a huge help as well—they were efficient and made communication effortless.
The hospital was spotless, and cleanliness was clearly a top priority, which gave us even more peace of mind. Overall, we were very happy with the care my father received. The professionalism and efficiency of the entire team made a real difference, and I would highly recommend the hospital to anyone seeking quality medical care abroad.

I was not in the hospital. I asked just a second opinion. I was very disappointed, because I was working a lot to translate all the documentation into English, and finally I was discussing with doctor only 10 minutes, and the level of the discussion was very poor. Practically I did not get anything for 400 EUR. <br/><br/>
<strong>Reply from Professor Johaness Drach:</strong><br/>
<i>Second opinion is given on the basis of a thorough analyses of provided medical reports. The procedure lasts as long until all questions of the patient have been clarified. If necessary specialists of other disciplines are also involved. The patient always receive a written statement.</i>

Previous reports have been reviewed and discussed as well. Advices and guidelines have been suggested. Finally medication have been prescribed beside lab check up request. I was looking for high qualified professionals and professor Layla was the right person.

We successfully operated on our daughter Nika Popova at the San Donato clinic (Italy). Thank you so much for the Bookimed service for the excellent organization of the trip. Our manager Aleksey Karaganov was always in touch and helped with all issues (visas, booking, medical and legal issues). The clinic, staff, ward are all at the highest level and the main thing is that real masters of their craft work there. Our attending physicians were delighted with the results of the most complicated heart surgery, the Ross operation. It is unfortunate that politics affects not only ordinary citizens, but also their children. I wish you patience, kindness and health to you and your loved ones, so that as many children from all over the world as possible can receive help. Thank you very much to Alexei and your entire team.

I, Temirbek Ormotoev came from Kyrgyzstan, I chose Florence Nightingale Hospital which was helped by bookimed company and the staff of this company liked me, especially I am happy to deal with Professor Ahmet-Tunch Ozdemir. Today is the 3rd day after the operation performed by Prof Ahmet-Tunç Ozdemir. The operation was done wonderfully, I am satisfied and also the hospital conditions and medical staff were top notch, everyone is polite to the patients, especially the head nurse and nurse Linhai were very good at patient care. Why did I choose Florence Nightingale specifically? Because this hospital is one of the advanced hospitals in Turkey and there is a DaVinci robotised system. I have a neoplasm in my kidney over 30 mm. Prof Ahmet-Tunç Ozdemir performed the operation within 1.5 hours and he has golden hands. Dear readers, if anyone wants to be treated abroad, come specifically to Florence Nightingale and find Prof Ahmet-Tunç Ozdemir and you will not go wrong with your choice. I was discharged on the second day after surgery, I feel great and recovery is underway. In terms of the cost of paying for the surgery, compared to other clinics in Turkey, it is realistic and inexpensive. Mr Ahmet-Tunc Ozdemir, my family and I wish you good health, longevity, good luck in everything and that you stay for a long time saving patients from various diseases, Allah help you. I am also grateful to the medical coordinators of bookimed platform, Liana, who from the very beginning until today accompanies and helps with treatment abroad and assistants named Alisher, translator Aigerim, who know their business professionally. Thank you all who helped me with this situation, Allah bless us all.

With the organization of medical services, everything went clearly according to the previous plan. Tatyana, the representative of the company, is very communicative, explains everything, no complaints, even came at 7.30 for the procedure, although there was no translation. I made a slight remark, the price for some services was not announced to me , but in fact it was added... These side effects must also be voiced before the trip......

We received several counselling sessions and a proposal for treatment. All consultations were organised in a highly professional manner with the necessary preparation. We liked very much the approach of the counsellors. Convenient way of providing the necessary information and documentation, constant communication with the consultants and prompt responses, as well as the organisation of online meetings. All submitted documents were analysed by the doctor before the consultation, we received comprehensive answers to all the questions we had, as well as very important recommendations for additional examination. Only one minor disadvantage: during one of the consultations the connection was interrupted several times, but it did not affect the final result, the connection was restored and all unclear related issues were solved by repeated discussion.

Overall, the experience was very much worth. It’s so world changing to be able to see clearly again! The cost was so much better than in the US, and I was also able to get the lens I wanted that is not available in the US yet. Other than a false assumption about where my hotel was located, and the drivers having difficulty finding me, the only perimeter went pretty smoothly. I’m happy with the outcome. I would only suggest that there be at least one nurse or medical staff besides the doctor who speaks English. Many more paranoid, or less traveled Americans would have a hard time going through that honestly. I feel the service is very worth iit overall, those are just some recommendations to make the service excellent and a no-brainer for Americans who need medical procedures.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) recognizes leukemia as a type of cancer that requires specialized treatment and care. The treatment strategy is complex and depends on multiple factors. Yet, it’s possible to ease the disease progress with a personalized treatment plan.
What Causes Leukemia?
Leukemia begins when a genetic mutation occurs in the DNA of cells. These mutations cause the cells to grow and divide rapidly, forming abnormal white blood cells. These abnormal cells crowd out the healthy blood cells, leading to the symptoms of leukemia.
The risk factors that can increase the likelihood of developing leukemia are:
🧬 Genetic factors, such as inherited conditions or family history of leukemia.
☢️ Exposure to radiation or certain chemicals, such as benzene.
🚬 Smoking, which increases the risk of some types of leukemia.
💉 Previous cancer treatments, including chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
What are the Types of Leukemia?
Leukemia is classified into four main types based on the speed of progression and the type of blood cells affected:
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) progresses rapidly and affects immature lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) affects myeloid cells, which form white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). A slower-growing leukemia affects mature lymphocytes.
Leukemia can present with a variety of symptoms, which may include:
Fatigue and weakness;
Frequent infections due to a weakened immune system;
Easy bruising or bleeding, such as frequent nosebleeds or bleeding gums;
Petechiae (flat, pinpoint spots under the skin caused by bleeding);
Painless swellings in the neck, armpit, belly, or groin;
Bone or joint pain;
Shortness of breath;
Frequent infections;
The feeling of fullness below the ribs;
Unexplained weight loss;
Fever or night sweats.
As these symptoms often sound like flu or other common disease, the doctors perform lab and instrumental tests to detect the presence of cancer.
How to Confirm a Patient Has Leukemia?
Along with asking about personal and family health history and doing a physical exam, the doctor may do some tests, including:
Complete blood count (CBC) to check for abnormal white cells or low red blood cell counts;
In a blood chemistry study, doctors check the levels of different substances in blood, such as glucose, fats, and proteins);
For a peripheral blood smear, doctors examine a blood sample under a microscope to see if there are any abnormal cells. They look at the types and numbers of white blood cells, platelets, and changes in the shape of the blood cells;
Imaging tests, like CT scans or MRIs, to check for bone metastasis;
During a aspiration and biopsy, the doctor removes a small sample of , blood, and bone from the hip or chest bone using a needle. A pathologist examines the sample under a microscope to spot any abnormal cells.
Cytogenetic testing determines whether there are missing or broken chromosomes and abnormal genes in a cell’s genome. Usually, doctors apply it to detect CML or Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL).
The most commonly used is the BCR-ABL1 method, which looks for a pathological gene called BCR-ABL1. It is an acquired genetic change, meaning patients do not take it from their parents and cannot pass it on to their children.
What is the Treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Childhood?
The treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) happens in three main stages:
Remission induction. This is the first stage, where the aim is to destroy leukemia cells in the blood so the leukemia becomes remission (meaning there are no signs of cancer).
Consolidation/intensification. Once the leukemia is in remission, the goal is to get rid of any remaining cancer cells to prevent recurrence.
Maintenance. In this final stage, the goal is to kill any leftover leukemia cells. The treatment doses are usually lower during this phase compared to the earlier stages. This is also called the continuation phase.
What are the Treatment Options for Children in Different Risk Groups?
The leukemia treatment centers offer different approaches for children with ALL. In addition to standard medical treatments, patients may face financial burdens from other therapies, such as travel, lodging, and alternative treatments.
Risk Level
Main Procedure
Standard risk
-Intrathecal chemotherapy:
- cell transplant during the first remission.
High risk
-Intrathecal and systemic chemotherapy
-Radiation therapy.
Very high risk
-Intrathecal and systemic chemotherapy
-Radiation therapy;
- cell transplant not during the first remission.
What is the Role of Clinical Trials in Cancer Treatment?
When it comes to cancer treatment, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. The best leukemia treatment centers in the world offer various options tailored to the type and stage of cancer, as well as the patient’s overall health.
Clinical trials play a pivotal role in advancing cancer treatment. These trials provide patients access to new and innovative therapies that are not yet widely available. Participating in a clinical trial can be valuable for those who have not responded to standard treatments or are seeking alternative options.
cell transplantation, for instance, is a cutting-edge treatment that has shown promise in treating blood cancer. This procedure involves replacing damaged or destroyed with healthy , which can help restore average blood cell production.
Is Cell Transplant Effective in Treating Leukemia?
cell transplants rarely serve as the first treatment for children and teens with ALL. Doctors typically use them if the leukemia returns after initial treatment.
In a stem cell transplant, doctors collect from a donor’s blood or , freeze them for later use, and store them. After the patient finishes chemotherapy and radiation, doctors infuse the into the patient’s body. Transplants for leukemia patients grow into red and white particles, restoring the regular bloodstream.
What are the Top Leukemia Treatment Centers in the World?
Bookimed has ranked the best hospitals for treating blood cancers. Based on our Smart Ranking System, the top facilities are in Spain, Israel, and Turkey.
Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov) (Israel). According to Newsweek magazine, the hospital is one of the best in Europe for treating blood cancer. The oncologists have over 20 years of experience, with
Anadolu Medical Center (Turkey). The hospital has ESMO (European Society for Medical Oncology) certification, which proves its compliance with strict blood cancer treatment standards. Anadolu Medical Center also partners with Johns Hopkins Hospital in the USA, using the latest equipment for precise diagnosis and treatment.
What Is the Cost of Treating Blood Cancers Worldwide?
The type and treatment cost depends on leukemia's stage and severity. Here's a short overview of the most-demanded blood cancer destinations and their treatment costs.
Country
Turkey
Spain
Israel
CAR-T cell therapy cost
From $60,000 to $95,500
From $133,607
From $90,000 to $120,000
Chemotherapy cost
From $5,200 to $13,480
From $15,200 to $28,200
From $6525
What Is the Insurance Coverage for Leukemia?
Health insurance plans help cover expensive drugs and procedures. Many people have insurance through their jobs or by purchasing a plan themselves. However, some treatments or costs may not be fully covered.
Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs). Lower costs with a specific network of doctors and hospitals. A primary care doctor (PCP) is chosen, and specialists need referrals.
Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs). More flexibility in choosing doctors, both in-network and out-of-network, but out-of-network care costs more. No referrals are needed for specialists.
Point-of-Service (POS). This health insurance plan is a mix of HMO and PPO. Members choose between in-network or out-of-network providers but usually need a referral to see a specialist.
Fee-for-Service (FFS). Most flexible but with higher costs. Members pay upfront for care, submit claims for reimbursement, and often handle more paperwork.
The patients who struggle to find healthcare professionals can fill a request on Bookimed, and the medical coordinator will contact an individual treatment plan.
How to Choose the Blood Cancer Treatment Center?
Seeking a lower cost of childhood leukemia treatment should not be the sole factor influencing the hospital choice. Here's what else is essential:
Hospital's Accreditation. The more evaluations the center has from international organizations, the higher its success rate will be. The most popular communities are National Cancer Institute and Joint Commission International. They provide the ranking of accredited centers with proven treatment and diagnostic standards.
Level of Doctor's Expertise. Leukemia is a multimodal disease requiring the same approach. It demands high qualification in terms of modern treatment tools. Plus, patients can check the doctor's experience by looking at the number of successful procedures (or surgeries) they performed so far.
Patients Safety. For example, if the hospital has HEPA-filtered wards, ensuring 100% sterilization. HEPA filters usually contain glass or plastic fibers. It doesn't allow airborne pathogens into the environment and works excellently with UV light air filtration systems.
For patients with less time to choose a center, Bookimed can find the best treatment facility and develop an individual treatment plan. Just submit a free request on our website to contact the medical coordinator and find a solution to your problem.
How Much Does Chemotherapy for Leukemia Cost?
The average price range for chemotherapy is $1,000-$5,000. This depends on a disease's complexity and medication response. According to recent data, about 2 out of 3 people with AML who get standard induction chemotherapy (chemo) go into remission.
The average cost for leukemia treatment is:
Vincristine, used for ALL, costs around $25 for a supply of 2 milliliters;
Mitoxantrone, used for AML, is about $186 for a supply of 10 milliliters;
Imbruvica (enzyme inhibitor), used for CLL, will cost around $616 per tablet.
What is the New Treatment for Leukemia?
In 2024, the FDA approved blinatumomab for adult and pediatric patients one month and older with a specific type of B-cell precursor ALL. This treatment is applicable when cancer signs disappear after initial therapy.
