Prof. Dr. Ahmet Cem İyibozkurt is a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Gynecologic Oncology Surgery based in Istanbul, Turkey. He completed his medical education in the English program at Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine between 1992 and 1998.

He completed his Obstetrics and Gynecology specialist training at Istanbul University Istanbul Faculty of Medicine and became a specialist in 2004.

He later focused on gynecologic oncology and completed a subspecialty in Gynecologic Oncology Surgery in 2011. He also became an Associate Professor in Obstetrics and Gynecology in the same year.

His professional career includes academic work at Istanbul University Istanbul Faculty of Medicine and clinical work at Liv Hospital Ulus.

Since 2016, he has continued his clinical and academic work at Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital.

What Are His Main Areas of Expertise?

Cem İyibozkurt focuses mainly on Obstetrics and Gynecology and Gynecologic Oncology Surgery.

His clinical areas include uterine cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer and other gynecologic malignancies.

Endometriosis, fertility-sparing surgery and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery are also among his areas of interest.

He evaluates selected benign gynecological conditions such as fibroids and uterine disorders.

Treatment planning depends on diagnosis, disease extent, age and overall health.

What Is Gynecologic Oncology?

Gynecologic oncology focuses on cancers affecting the female reproductive system.

These cancers can involve the uterus, cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina or vulva.

Cem İyibozkurt focuses particularly on the surgical treatment of gynecologic cancers.

Tumor location, size and relationship with surrounding tissues influence the surgical plan.

Depending on the disease, surgery can involve conventional or minimally invasive techniques.

Pathology, imaging and other clinical findings are reviewed when establishing a treatment plan.

Uterine Cancer and Surgery

Uterine cancer is one of the main gynecologic cancers treated within gynecologic oncology.

Diagnosis can involve tissue sampling, ultrasound and other imaging methods.

Surgical treatment commonly involves removal of the uterus. Depending on the disease, the ovaries, fallopian tubes and lymph nodes may also require evaluation.

The extent of surgery depends on cancer type and stage.

Laparoscopic or robotic surgery can be considered for selected patients.

Additional oncology treatments may be recommended according to pathology results.

Cervical Cancer Treatment

Cervical cancer develops in the cervix and requires treatment planning according to tumor size and disease extent.

Surgery can be considered for selected early-stage cases.

More advanced disease may require radiotherapy, chemotherapy or combined treatment.

Fertility-sparing surgery can be evaluated for selected patients who wish to preserve fertility.

The suitability of this approach depends on tumor characteristics and medical criteria.

Imaging and pathology findings are reviewed before surgery is planned.

Ovarian Cancer and Gynecologic Cancer Surgery

Surgery plays an important role in the management of ovarian cancer.

During surgery, the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes and other tissues can be assessed.

Some patients require removal of tumor deposits located in different areas of the abdomen.

Cem İyibozkurt's clinical interests include advanced gynecologic oncology surgery.

Minimally invasive approaches can be considered for selected patients when clinically appropriate.

Treatment planning depends on the extent and pathological characteristics of the disease.

Endometriosis and Fertility-Sparing Surgery

Endometriosis is a chronic condition involving tissue similar to the uterine lining outside the uterus.

It can cause pelvic pain, menstrual symptoms and fertility problems.

Ovarian endometriomas can also develop.

Endometriosis can cause adhesions involving the ovaries, tubes and surrounding pelvic structures.

Laparoscopic surgery can be considered for selected patients.

Pain, disease extent and fertility plans are important when deciding whether surgery is appropriate.

Fertility-sparing approaches can prioritize preservation of ovarian tissue when clinically possible.

Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery uses small abdominal incisions and specialized instruments.

In gynecology, it can be used for selected fibroids, endometriosis and cancer procedures.

Robotic surgery allows the surgeon to control specialized instruments through a robotic surgical system.

The da Vinci Xi robotic system is among the technologies used at the centers where Cem İyibozkurt practices.

Not every patient is suitable for minimally invasive or robotic surgery.

Disease type, tumor location, previous operations and overall health influence the choice of surgical approach.

What Is His Academic and Scientific Work?

Cem İyibozkurt's academic work focuses strongly on gynecologic cancers.

His research includes uterine cancer, endometrial disorders, endometriosis and gynecologic oncology surgery.

He has participated in studies examining clinical and pathological characteristics of endometrial cancer.

His academic work has also examined imaging methods such as MRI and PET/CT in gynecologic cancer assessment.

He completed doctoral work in Molecular Medicine within the Istanbul University Institute for Experimental Medicine.

Where Does He See Patients in Istanbul?

Cem İyibozkurt sees patients at Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital in Istanbul.

The hospital is located at Abide-i Hürriyet Caddesi No. 166, Şişli, Istanbul.

Consultations can address gynecological conditions, endometriosis, fibroids, infertility and gynecologic cancers.

Patients requiring surgery can also discuss appropriate surgical options during consultation.

When booking, patients should specify Obstetrics and Gynecology or Gynecologic Oncology according to their medical needs.

Appointment schedules can change, so current availability should be confirmed before visiting.

What Should Patients Prepare Before an Appointment?

Patients attending a gynecologic oncology consultation can bring previous biopsy, pathology, MRI, ultrasound, PET/CT and other imaging results.

Information about previous surgeries, current medications and earlier chemotherapy or radiotherapy should also be provided.

Patients being evaluated for endometriosis or infertility can bring previous gynecological examination and treatment records.

It is also useful to explain how long the current symptoms have been present and which treatments have already been attempted.
