Professor Esilipek performed a bone marrow transplant on my child. The procedure was successful. I hope the disease will recede and my son will live happily ever after.

Hodgkin's lymphoma

I was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes - Hodgkin's lymphoma. In Israel, I had a consultation with Mehmet Akif Yesilipek, he prescribed the treatment under PET-CT control. Soon the examination showed that the disease was not progressing. As a result, Dr. Esilipek completed the treatment earlier than the standard protocol suggests. And I'm incredibly happy about it. Today, I have been in remission for 2 years, thanks to Dr. Esilipek and all the staff of the Antalya Medical Park Clinic!

blood cancer,

I was diagnosed with blood cancer, I immediately decided that it was better to go to a foreign clinic. Having chosen the Medical Park clinic, I got an appointment with the excellent doctor Mehmet Esilipek. An examination and chemotherapy were prescribed. Everything went pretty fast. After chemo, I had a bone marrow transplant (they took my own cells before chemotherapy). The transplant was successful - which I did not even doubt. When my immunity finally recovered, I was discharged. Now I feel quite healthy, for which many thanks to Dr. Mehmet Esilipek and the staff of the Medical Park clinic, who supported me and helped me in everything.

leukemia

I have a terrible diagnosis – leukemia. I had a bone marrow transplantation done by a wonderful oncohematologist – Mehmet Akif Esilipek. The procedure took place at Antalya Medical Park Center. It has been more than a year since my bone marrow transplantation. I'm still on medication, but already feeling much better. I hope this is the final victory over leukemia and the disease will never return.
