Leman Evren Kadıoğlu, MD

Leman Evren Kadıoğlu, MD is a pathology specialist working in the Pathology Department at Acibadem Kent Hospital (Izmir) in İzmir. She graduated from Dokuz Eylul University Faculty of Medicine in 2000 and completed her specialty training in Medical Pathology at Dokuz Eylul University Faculty of Medicine in 2008. Her career in medicine spans more than 26 years, and her clinical work is centered on the laboratory-based evaluation of tissue and cell samples to support diagnosis and treatment planning.

Dr. Kadıoğlu began her professional career at Karsiyaka Ismet Akman Health Center, where she worked from 2000 to 2002. After completing her specialty training, she served at Şanlıurfa Training and Research Hospital between 2008 and 2010. She then continued her pathology practice in private laboratory settings, working at Private A Pathology Laboratory from 2010 to 2012 and at Private Frosen Pathology Laboratory from 2012 to 2015. In 2015 she joined Acibadem Health Group, where she has practiced since.

Clinical focus

Dr. Kadıoğlu’s practice is focused on diagnostic pathology, histopathologic tissue diagnosis and pathology laboratory practice. Pathology is a medical specialty that examines specimens obtained through biopsies, surgery and other diagnostic procedures. In this role, she evaluates tissue and cell samples under the microscope in order to characterize disease processes and interpret pathological findings. Her assessments provide information that treating physicians use when establishing a diagnosis and considering treatment options.

As a laboratory-based specialist, Dr. Kadıoğlu typically works alongside the surgeons, oncologists and other clinicians who request tissue examination, rather than seeing patients directly for every case. Her work contributes to the multidisciplinary assessment of disease, and pathology reports prepared in the laboratory form part of the wider diagnostic pathway for patients treated at the hospital. Where earlier pathology material or reports exist, these may be taken into account as part of the evaluation.

How Dr. Kadıoğlu works with international patients

Dr. Kadıoğlu speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. For international patients, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. Pathology services are coordinated as part of the patient’s broader diagnostic and treatment pathway, with Dr. Kadıoğlu supporting the medical team through specialist evaluation of relevant tissue and cell samples. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination where appropriate, and a discussion of the available options. Video consultations are available for international patients who wish to discuss their case or previous pathology findings before traveling.
