Prices are copied as published, in the provider's currency. Conversions use the European Central Bank reference rates of 23 October 2026 and are rounded. A provider can change a price at any time: ask for a written quote.

Few Turkish hospitals publish price lists. The figures here are a hospital group's international “starting from” prices, a dental clinic's worked example and a medical-travel clinic's eye-surgery package, so ask each one for a written, itemised quote.

Each runs its own service for patients from abroad. The booking time on each card is the hospital's own words; where it publishes none, ask for a date in writing before you book flights.

How it works for a visitor

  1. Ask for a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for the cancer screening package and ask for an itemised price, the date, and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
  2. Before you goAsk your doctor which screening tests make sense for your age and family history.
  3. Before you goCheck the fasting and bowel-preparation instructions if an endoscopy is included.
  4. LanguageTurkish; international patient departments offer English and interpreters.
  5. Entry rulesCheck the official advice for your passport before booking: UK citizens (FCDO entry requirements), Canadian citizens (travel.gc.ca), US citizens (State Department, choose the country), Irish citizens (DFA travel advice, choose the country).
  6. After you returnBring all the results to your doctor; an abnormal result is followed up at home.

Can your public system pay for it?

NHS and HSE schemes do not reach Turkey. The NHS S2 route covers state treatment in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and the HSE schemes cover the EU, EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Treatment in Turkey is paid by you or by a private insurer who agrees in advance. NHS S2 route, HSE Treatment Abroad Scheme.

When not to travel for a cancer screening package

  • A symptom or a lump you have noticed: see your doctor at home first.
  • Replacing your national screening invitations, which are free.

How to compare cancer screening package quotes

Cancer screening packages combine tests that look for cancer in people without symptoms: for example blood markers, a mammogram or breast ultrasound, a cervical smear, a PSA test, a low-dose chest CT, or a gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Only some of these tests have good evidence for screening healthy people; others often give false alarms.

  • Look at which tests are in the package, not how many. Tumour-marker blood tests on their own are poor at finding early cancer.
  • Check that a doctor reviews all the results with you and tells you what to do next.
  • Ask whether endoscopies include sedation and biopsies.

Cancer screening in Turkey: questions

How much does a cancer screening package cost in Turkey?

The published prices we found range from $2,300 to $3,200, about £1,720 to £2,390 or $2,300 to $3,200. They come from Liv Hospital (Ulus and Vadistanbul, Istanbul). Each covers something slightly different, so read what is included before comparing.

Is a cancer screening package in Turkey cheaper than paying privately in the UK?

We do not have both a UK price and a comparable Turkey price for this, so we cannot say. Compare the published prices on this page with a written quote from a UK provider.

Will the NHS or HSE pay for a cancer screening package in Turkey?

No. The NHS S2 route and the HSE schemes cover planned treatment in Europe only. Turkey is outside them, so you pay yourself or through a private insurer that agrees in advance.

How many days should I plan in Turkey?

One day for most packages; two if an endoscopy is included. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice: the clinic sets the schedule, and you should ask it for one in writing.

What should I check before booking a cancer screening package in Turkey?

Look at which tests are in the package, not how many. Tumour-marker blood tests on their own are poor at finding early cancer. Check that a doctor reviews all the results with you and tells you what to do next.
