Why Anadolu
Why Anadolu Medical Center for sarcoma treatment?
Sarcoma is a rare form of cancer in which rapid and accurate diagnosis, specialized experience and multidisciplinary care are critical. Choosing the right center can directly influence the success of therapy, the preservation of the affected limb and long-term outcomes.
At Anadolu Medical Center, sarcoma patients benefit from a dedicated multidisciplinary approach, supported by advanced diagnostics, expert surgical teams and personalized oncological care. Every case is analyzed individually to determine the most effective and safest treatment strategy.
Rapid and precise diagnosis
A diagnostic pathway designed to lose no time
Early and rigorous diagnosis is critical in sarcoma treatment. Our diagnostic pathway minimizes delays and ensures the tumor is correctly classified and staged:
Advanced MRI and CT — for a detailed local assessment.
PET/CT — for staging and detecting metastatic disease.
Image-guided biopsies — performed by teams experienced in sarcoma.
Sarcoma-specialized pathology — with molecular and genetic testing when required.
Tumor board evaluation — before any treatment decision.

Limb-sparing surgery and organ-preserving surgery whenever possible.
Complex orthopedic oncology for bone and soft-tissue tumors.
Reconstructive surgery after tumor removal.
Chemotherapy and targeted therapies based on the tumor's specific biology.
Immunotherapy for certain sarcoma subtypes.
Advanced radiotherapy for local disease control or for patients who cannot undergo surgery.
Advanced surgery
Sarcoma surgery and orthopedic oncology
Limb preservation – Advanced reconstruction – Functional outcome
Surgery is often the cornerstone of treatment. Our teams specialize in complex sarcoma procedures and orthopedic oncology, with a focus on preserving limb function and quality of life:
Extensive expertise in limb-sparing procedures
Advanced reconstructions using prosthetic and biological techniques
Rigorous surgical planning, supported by advanced imaging
Close coordination with medical oncology and radiation oncology
Advanced radiotherapy
Precision radiotherapy for sarcoma
High precision – Fewer side effects
Radiotherapy plays an important role in sarcoma treatment, especially for tumors located near critical organs or when surgery is not the first option.
We use advanced technologies (including MR-Linac and Varian Edge) to deliver precise radiation while protecting healthy tissue — an approach that improves local tumor control and reduces side effects.
