Clinical focus

In gynecologic oncology, Dr. Cengiz evaluates and treats patients with cervical cancer, vulvar cancer and ovarian cancer. HPV infection and sexually transmitted diseases also form part of his practice, and he sees patients for menstrual irregularities and polycystic ovary syndrome. A further area of his work is menopause, where care is planned according to each patient’s symptoms, history and preferences.

Dr. Cengiz also treats endometriosis, including endometrioma, and ovarian cysts. His surgical work includes hysterectomy and the management of ectopic pregnancy. In obstetrics, he provides care through pregnancy and birth, including epidural delivery and cesarean delivery. His experience also extends to infertility, and he has worked at an in vitro fertilization center. Whether a condition is routine or complex, treatment options are discussed with the patient after the clinical findings and any existing test results have been reviewed.

How Dr. Cengiz works with international patients

Dr. Cengiz consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as ultrasound, MRI or CT reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the possible options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Cengiz before deciding whether to travel; any recommendations made remotely are generally confirmed at an in-person examination.
