Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? Our support team is here to guide you through each step of your treatment journey with personal care and attention.Can I get a second opinion on my cancer diagnosis before travelling to Turkey?
Yes. Memorial offers a remote second medical opinion where your existing scans, pathology reports, and treatment records are reviewed by an oncology specialist. You receive a written assessment with a recommended treatment plan, estimated timeline, and cost breakdown. This can be arranged through an online video consultation with no obligation to proceed. Your existing scans and imaging from your home country are accepted and reviewed before any travel decision is made.

The length of stay depends on your cancer type and treatment plan. Chemotherapy cycles are given over several weeks with breaks between sessions, and many patients arrange multiple short visits.
