Brain Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. The device developed by Tuğberk Özdemir against brain tumors caused a stir in the medical world. Kiss. Dr. Özdemir’s research showing that it is possible to target and destroy brain tumors with ultrasound waves and the device he developed using this technology gave hope to patients waiting for treatment. On the other hand, Tuğberk Özdemir’s research on “The Effects of High Intensity Ultrasound on Brain Tumor” was also published in the prestigious journal of the medical world, European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences.
IT DESTROYS TUMOR CELLS WITHOUT SURGERY AND WITH A MARGIN OF ERROR OF 1MM
Kiss. Dr. Özdemir said about his research: “This research; revealed that when ultrasound waves are applied under an MRI device at a special angle and wavelength, they can destroy tumor cells with a margin of error of 1 mm. We applied ultrasound waves to a tumor surgically removed from a patient with a brain tumor, with this device we developed in a laboratory environment. “In the molecular examinations we performed afterwards, we saw that the tumor had disappeared,” he said.
A VITAL IMPROVEMENT FOR PATIENTS FOR WHICH SURGERY IS RISKY OR IMPOSSIBLE
Medicana International Izmir Hospital Neurosurgery Specialist Op. Dr. The device developed by Tuğberk Özdemir within the scope of research showing that it is possible to target and destroy brain tumors using ultrasound waves is currently in the approval phase at the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Once the approval process is successfully completed, the necessary studies for the clinical use of the device will be initiated and it will be available for the benefit of patients in the treatment of brain tumors in a short time. This method, which will allow brain tumors to be treated without requiring surgery, has created excitement in the medical world. Kiss. Dr. Regarding the advantages of this method, Özdemir said, “Selectively targeting and destroying tumor cells with ultrasound waves can significantly simplify the treatment process. “This approach is especially promising for patients whose surgery is risky or impossible,” he said.
“ATATURK’S TRUST IN DOCTORS SHOWS A LIGHT FOR ME”
Op., who also carries out successful studies on deep brain stimulation treatment, also known as brain stimulation. Dr. Tuğberk Özdemir stated that he received positive reactions after the research was published and said:
“Our great leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk expressed his trust in us by saying, ‘Entrust me to Turkish doctors.’ Atatürk’s trust in us is a legacy that each of us should carry. This legacy has been a light that further deepened my love for the medical profession and increased my passion for scientific research and clinical practices.”
