Clinical Research
In addition to researching new treatment methods/products, clinical trials are also conducted in order to find out more effective use of known treatment methods/products or in order to learn more about these methods/products. In our Medical Oncology Clinic, many international clinical studies are carried out in order to provide new treatments to our patients and in order to increase alternatives of treatment for our patients. Clinical studies are conducted by our clinical research team with sufficient training and experience. Patients under the treatment of our Medical Oncology Department are informed in detail if there is a new alternative treatment method for their diseases such as immunotherapy and targeted therapeutic agents.
