Bookimed.com is a very good platform, and I am happy that I have found this platform. About my experience it wasnt what I was expecting, not for bookimed fault, but mostly from hospital, medical staff and assistants. Somehow I can sum it up as I was part of a very strange experience, where everything is beautiful in words, but not in reality. In the end all I have are words, maybe a little improvement on my health condition - but not a real fix, and no documents at all about my medical treatment. Read more less

From the minute I was inquiring about an appointment through to an entire 2 hours of tests, I felt completely taken care of. Being in a foreign country where it’s not your first language can be daunting when needing healthcare. My healthcare navigator Leen was so wonderful. She brought me to each doctor or department, got me situated and was also my translator. She was kind, compassionate & so incredibly helpful. I was incredibly grateful to have her by my side. I saw Dr. Bassols who was incredibly warm, knowledgeable and put my fears at ease. The other technicians were also wonderful and caring. I highly recommend the staff and care I received at Centro Medico Teknon and the team from bookimed that connected me to them. Thank you everyone!!

Memorial is more than a hospital. It is home from home. Very hospitable and caring staff who show a lot of empathy. My one night stay in the hospital was a delightful experience, kind and available staff, every neat and hygienic room. The doctors are on top of their job. I was taken through a lecture in nuclear physics 101, broken in simple language. The lecturer helped allayed my initial fears about the treatment. The treatment was speedy and the results came so quickly. The doctor was by my bedside to explain the next steps. The translator was fantastic. The transportation service was superb, always on time. I got more than value for my money. I will strongly recommend Memorial Sisli Hospital for any person seeking Lu-177 therapy

When they learned what was needed in the clinic, they didn’t even know where to run and whom to contact. Coordinators helped to select a clinic. They gave us a doctor. Everything went great, the doctor is a true professional.  Separately, I want to note the attitude to patients. We were met at the airport, brought to the clinic and there was already a translator waiting. Literally "by the hand" we were taken to the doctors, everyone translated. Then they provided a taxi to the hotel.   During the operation, the ward was provided for two people - for the patient and the attendant; both of them were included in the cost of the operation.   After surgery, the doctor held a consultation, making sure that you can fly back. And only then answered questions remotely that arose.  Clinic definitely recommend

We thank Professor Gross for the difficult and very difficult operation. We are sure that in the CIS, and in many European clinics, Alexander would not come out of intensive care. Professor - the golden hands. Also thanks to the guys accompanying us as translators, Vladimir and Lydia. Moral support and qualified medical translation they provided completely. Also thanks to all employees of the Asklepios polyclinic, our two-week stay in the room of increased comfort and a week-long stay of Alexander in the intensive care unit, although it was not easy, but the staff did everything to help and facilitate the rehabilitation period. Very home furnishings and not fake care.

I was really nervous about a new breast lump that developed. I reached out to Book I med and explained my situation. I was directed to Hisar Intercontinental Hospital. They did biopsy, ultrasound and PET scan. Although I wanted surgery, doctor explained it wasn't in my best interest and recommended medication instead. Doctors were careful to come up with plan, they didn't rush to make decisions. I had a medical coordinator who assisted in transportation to and from hospital and coordinating tests and doctor visits. I was also assigned an interpreter for Turkish to English.They were both wonderful and it was nice to have assistance and smiling faces when I arrived. They always took time to listen to concerns and answer questions. I met with 2 doctors, a breast cancer surgeon and oncologist. They both were professional and friendly. They met with a tumor board of physicians to discuss my plan.I feel like I got professional care and good treatment plan. The hospital was clean and modern. They did a good job with the tests, I didn't feel any pain from the doctor who did my biopsy. Believe me when you have something as scary as a breast lump you want to be in good hands.I paid for each test and medication individually with credit card. I was told the cost before each purchase. Even though the whole bill wasn't cheap, it's much much lower cost than I could get in United States. As a self pay patient I am glad for that also. So overall even though I was struggling with something really bad(tumor) I feel like I got great and professional care at a decent price. I would truly recommend this to anyone. And Turkey is such a beautiful country with friendly people. There is hidden artwork everywhere. So even though I am going through this ordeal being in beautiful Turkey makes it not so bad. The food here is really good and cheap. I'm staying in Old city which has tons of Cafe restaurants. In your spare time just sitting at a Cafe and watching the myriad of people walking by is fun. I am confident I am going to beat this breast tumor with the help of the wonderful care given at Hisar Intercontinental Hospital.

Everything is very well organized, fast communication between the doctor, translator, and financial department. We had a problem with housing, they didn’t abandon us at night, the clinic staff helped. We did an examination, so I can’t say about the results of the treatment yet. The facilities at the clinic are wonderful, we consulted with 2 doctors, we have a diagnosis and a treatment method. The radiologist is competent and specialist, but not verbose. I didn’t have enough explanations about the risks, etc., the plastic surgeon explained everything in detail, answered all my questions, he was a very nice person. The organization of the trip is at the highest level, the organization is impressive. The diagnosis has been made, treatment methods have been determined, we plan to come for treatment in six months, because the prices are too expensive for us. I can write about the quality of treatment after treatment.

My name is Sergey, I am undergoing treatment at the oncology department of the Nordwest Clinic in Frankfurt am Main. I would like to note the high professional level of doctors, the technical equipment of the clinic at the proper level. I want to express special gratitude to Professor Elka Yeager, senior doctor Kiselichki, Dr. Weber, the highest level of professionalism, are very friendly and attentive, the junior staff are smart, everything is super, I’m very pleased with the treatment, if not for one “but” ... Because of ignorance language had to contact the company "Phoenix Service", which is an intermediary for the provision of medical services, led by Radislav. My communication with them began with the fact that before arrival they demanded a significant prepayment, which was timely transferred to their account. After arriving at the clinic, I had to transfer money several times, rather big money. I persistently asked the company’s employees to conclude an agreement with me on the provision of services by Phoenix Service, in order to specifically understand which services and for what specific payment the services will be provided. However, no contracts, as well as invoices with prices, were provided to me, which directly testifies to dishonesty. Only two months later I received the clinic’s bills (with which I completely agree) and separately a bill from Phoenix Service for the services rendered, after viewing which there were simply no words ... As it turned out, being treated in Germany was not expensive, it was expensive to pay for the services of Phoenix invoiced, which either didn’t turn out at all, or turned out to be in the wrong amount and at very high prices. I tried to talk with the head of the company Radislav, saying that I did not agree with the bill, to which I received the answer "if something does not suit you, you can refuse our services further." I officially wrote an appeal to the clinic about the detachment from this dishonest company, to which I received a positive response. He also wrote an official letter to Phoenix with a request to review the account, to which he still has not received an answer. I want to warn everyone who is in my position, those cancer patients who sell everything in order to pay for treatment and live on, but these “phoenixes” don’t stop at anything to enrich themselves at their expense.

My coordinator Marsela, went above and beyond to research the perfect Doctor and accommodate with all of her request for the best Doctor. She always answered my questions and followed up when needed. My surgery coordinators Zeynep and Hisham were amazing and followed up and Hisham was there in person from the pre-op to post op and both were there 24 hours a day when I needed them or just to make sure I was doing good following my surgery. Dr. Emre Ozenalp is a very skilled surgeon and is amazing. The cuts he made I will have little scarring due to being a skilled surgeon. Dr. Emre and his Nurses followed up everyday to check on my status. He’s Nurses are amazing and we’re very compassionate since I am a very modest person. I would highly recommend Bookimed, my surgery coordinators, and Dr. Emre and his Nurses. I am very amazed and super excited about my outcome of my surgery.

In principle, the visit went very well, only good impressions remained. Now there are certain problems, because doctors at home do not agree with the diagnosis that was made in China, but we were provided with professional help at the Food Clinic. Despite the fact that the full-time translator was on vacation and we took it on our own, the visit went very well. The rooms are very good, they look like 5 star rooms.

We liked Emsey clinic very much. we were met from the airport with an interpreter and a driver. then placed in a very good hotel. delicious food was served 2 times at the hotel. The hotel had spacious comfortable rooms with all amenities. On the 1st day we were brought for analysis, on the 2nd day they made a diagnosis, started treatment and we were placed in a ward. Within 5 days, we received the necessary treatment and good service. The doctors were very skilled and experienced. The coordinator Janseit was with us for 1 week and was very helpful in creating all the necessary amenities for us. Thanks to all the staff at Emsey Clinic.

My hair transplant and my wife rhinoplasty, it was great. Also we did our teeth, they butchered my teeth, I did not know they were going to shave down all my teeth, I had a very good teeth but I want to better, the dentist said you have a nice teeth, but never told me not to do, when did the teeth they put treaty together like a bridge, versus doing one at a time, now I do not have space between them, besides completely ruined my teeth, they didn’t do the proper way, he and Brazil I went to see a dentist and they told me this technique is prohibited here because they did butchered my wife in my mouth, both of us did our teeth. I had another big problem with my liposuction, very bad side effects, because I didn’t have enough fat, but Dr. Baki did with out even looking my body. My surgery was done Saturday, I called them on Monday but no one saw me until Wednesday, I finally saw the doctor and he said nothing to worry about that was normal, for sure it was nothing normal about the surgery, I sent pictures to doctors all of them sad that I need to take care of that and I couldn’t even travel, Dr. Baki sad in 40 years he never saw such a thing, but he said that was going to be fine, I travel back the following Friday to Brazil, I went to see a plastic surgeon, he said that I almost died, thank God I’m here, they did not care about my health, horrible communication with the doctor, when I spoke to a few people that takes care of the patients there, they told me that they would get right back to me, they would not get back to me for 10 hours, that’s for me was crazy. When I set up the appointment, I really want to talk to Hakan, they told me that I would do with him but they offer me Dr. Baki and I told them I did not want Dr. Baki that I wanna dr. Hakan, The day that I was supposed to see Hakan They told me that he had Covid and he could not do my surgery, I thought was weird, so they told me Dr. Baki was going to do my surgery and Dr. Baki was much better surgeon, I didn’t feel good about this but I went anyway. I reached out to Dr. Hakan and found out that he never had Covid and also I never had an appointment with him and that he was booked out. So I’m not sure if I would recommend them, I’m spending money after the surgery and they didn’t even offer to pay part of it, it is almost 2 weeks after my surgery and I’m still bruised all over and I’m really in bad situation. Did 2 Stars was giving because the booking team they are unbelievable nice and they do deserve 10 stars, but the people they assigned me had few things that I didn’t like it push a different doctor, and also the doctor did not do a good job . I do not recommend I will post pictures, also I will post pictures of my teeth before and after

FAQ about HIFU for prostate cancer treatment

What is HIFU for Prostate Cancer?

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment option for prostate cancer. It uses focused ultrasound waves to heat and destroy cancer cells without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. This minimally invasive procedure offers several advantages over traditional treatments like surgery or radiation therapy:

  • Minimally invasive. HIFU involves minimal discomfort and no cuts to the skin.

  • Precise targeting of cancer areas preserves healthy tissues.

  • Short hospital stay. Most patients can go home on the same day as the procedure.

  • Rapid recovery. Recovery is typically quick, allowing patients to resume normal activities within two weeks.

  • Reduced side effects. HIFU is less likely to cause erectile or urinary problems compared to other prostate cancer treatments.

  • Retreatment options. HIFU can be repeated if the cancer returns, and it can be combined with other treatments as needed.

Who Is a Candidate for HIFU?

HIFU is typically considered for patients with:

  • Localized prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the prostate tissue. The most suitable patients have prostate cancer in stage T1 or T2 and with a Gleason Score under 7.

  • Low-grade or intermediate-risk prostate cancer, which is regarded as slow-growing. Patients undergo active surveillance and may be considered for HIFU once the tumor starts growing.

  • Previous treatment failure occurs when patients experience a recurrence after radiation therapy.

  • Contraindications to other treatments due to health reasons.

HIFU may be less effective for men with enlarged prostate glands (BPH) or calcifications. These conditions can limit the energy's reach and cause urinary problems due to increased swelling of the targeted tissue.

What Does the Procedure Involve?

The HIFU procedure typically involves the following steps:

  1. Preparation with general anesthesia. The doctor will also insert the catheter to remove any liquids from the gallbladder.

  2. Ultrasound imaging. The doctor inserts a transrectal ultrasound probe to visualize the prostate gland.

  3. Focused ultrasound involves directing high-intensity ultrasound beams at the cancerous area. High-frequency ultrasound for prostate cancer heats the cancer cells at up to 110 С° temperature, destroying them.

  4. Recovery iswhen the patient is monitored in a recovery room and discharged on the same day. Most patients can return to their everyday lives for a few weeks after the procedure.

There are two types of HIFU:

  • Focal HIFU is intended for the small area in the prostate tissue;

  • The whole prostate HIFU directs beams at the entire gland.

What Are the Side Effects of HIFU Treatment?

While focused ultrasound for prostate cancer is generally considered a safe procedure with minimal side effects, some patients may experience:

  • Urinary incontinence is expected in the first days after. It will stabilize in 1 month-period maximum.

  • Blood in the urine may occur for a short period after tumor destruction. Doctors recommend higher water intake at this time to speed up the recovery process.

  • Erectile dysfunction is a potential long-term side effect, but the risk is lower compared to some other prostate cancer treatments (like chemotherapy or radiation therapy).

  • Incontinence is less common but may occur in some cases.

Where Is HIFU Treatment Available?

Bookimed has picked the most acknowledged hospitals based on our Smart Ranking System. They have the well-experienced doctors and the best equipment to guarantee a successful outcome.

Memorial Şişli Hospital, Turkey

The "master of urology", Dr. Murat Binbay, is an internationally certified robotic surgery expert. He combines HIFU with HOLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) to decrease patients' time with catheters and improve their urinary function.

Samsung Medical Center, Republic of Korea

According to the hospital's data, they achieved an 87% success rate of high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment. Samsung is the top hospital in South Korea that has HIFU treatment available. The doctors cooperate with MD Anderson Medical Center in the USA to implement new treatment approaches.

Samsung is the most comprehensive cancer center in Asia. The patients may refer to the Bookimed International Patient Support Center for direct consultation with the hospital's oncologists.

Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital, Turkey

Dr. Ilker Comez is a prostate cancer specialist who uses HIFU and a minimally invasive surgery called LSP (laparoscopic simple prostatectomy).

The doctor is committed to reducing lower urinary tract symptoms, such as frequent urination and incontinence. He has made substantial contributions by combining LSP with HIFU, even for advanced prostate cancer.

How Much Does HIFU Treatment Cost?

The starting cost of HIFU treatment for prostate cancer is $8,500 in Turkey and goes up to $19,000 in Korea.

The cost of the ultrasound treatment for prostate cancer depends on several factors:

  • Country. The prostate cancer treatment cost can differ by 10-40%, depending on the country. For instance, the price for HIFU in Germany is about 15-20% higher than in Turkey but about 5-10% lower than in Korea.

  • Doctor's Expertise. A specialist with extensive experience in HIFU procedures and numerous certifications may charge a higher fee for focused ultrasound surgery.

  • Additional Services. Some hospitals offer package deals, while others may charge separately for each service (such as treatment, language assistance, or transportation).

How Does High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Differ From Other Options?

Procedure Advantages Disadvantages

HIFU

Minimally invasive, preserves sexual function, and quick recovery. It may not be suitable for large tumors or advanced-stage cancer.

Cryotherapy

Minimally invasive, quick recovery. It can cause tissue damage and incontinence.

Proton Beam Therapy

Precise targeting, minimal side effects. Expensive, limited availability.

Surgery (Prostatectomy)

It can be curative for early-stage cancer. Risk of incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
