A Summary Guide for International Patients
Navigating the intricacies of cancer treatment can be challenging, especially when venturing outside one’s home country. Chemotherapy, a pivotal tool in the battle against cancer, uses drugs to destroy or inhibit cancer cell growth. Here’s a guide tailored for international patients considering chemotherapy in Turkey through Voumed’s network:

Chemotherapy leverages a mix of drugs that target the rapid division of cells, a hallmark of cancer cells. Depending on the cancer type and its stage, chemotherapy can aim to cure, control its spread, or alleviate symptoms.
