When Maria, a 52-year-old teacher from Rotterdam, was diagnosed with breast cancer, her greatest fear was losing the life she loved. Hope came when she requested a second medical opinion from Acibadem Oncology Centers in Türkiye — within just two days, she had a clear answer and a treatment plan.

A structured second opinion matters in oncology: treatment protocols, surgical options and timelines can differ meaningfully between centers. Acibadem’s tumor boards review imaging, pathology and history together, so patients receive a coordinated multidisciplinary recommendation.

Maria’s plan combined surgery with a personalised follow-up protocol, and her care team kept her informed at every step — in her own language.

If you would like a rapid review of an existing diagnosis, you can request a second opinion or explore our oncology treatment programs.
