reviews
I have a brain tumor, and thanks to the prescribed treatment and constant monitoring, I feel I am in safe hands. The doctor does even more than is usually expected of a physician. Most importantly, he gives the patient confidence and support, saying: "I am always here." For a patient, this is invaluable.
The hospital is very lucky to have such a doctor. And I am also lucky to be treated by Professor Dr. Hüseyin Engin.

He carefully studied all my examinations. My breast was removed, and later — my ovaries and uterus. Now the doctor observes me together with a gynecologist, and treatment monitoring continues.

Huseyin Engin is a Turkish doctor, medical oncologist, and professor. He provides consultations and treatment at Acıbadem Ataşehir Hospital in Istanbul.
His main focus is gastrointestinal oncology. This is one of the most complex areas in oncology, including the treatment of stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, and biliary tract tumors. These diseases often require the sequential use of chemotherapy, surgery, and additional therapy, and sometimes immunotherapy and targeted treatment.
He received his education at one of the strongest universities in Turkey — Hacettepe University: medical degree (1994), subspecialty in internal medicine (1999), subspecialty in medical oncology (2003). From 2004 to 2021, he held academic positions at Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University — from assistant professor to full professor. Since 2022, he has been working at Acıbadem Healthcare Group.
He has a number of publications on specific clinical issues:
- metronomic chemotherapy with vinorelbine in elderly patients with lung cancer,
- prognostic value of total lesion glycolysis in lung cancer,
- leptin genetics and colorectal cancer,
- breast tumor surgery under intraoperative ultrasound guidance.
For a patient with a tumor of the stomach, colon, pancreas, liver, or esophagus, this is a clear choice: an experienced academic oncologist focused specifically on these diseases, working in a major private clinic with a multidisciplinary approach.
