Stem Cell Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease in Istanbul

The number of administrations, the route, the cognitive assessment carried out before and after, and the length of supervised stay are the variables. Our patient coordination team itemizes each of them, states what a travelling companion adds, and confirms which follow-up contact is included once you are home.

Stage does not decide the answer on its own, but it changes the practical assessment: the ability to consent, to cooperate with a procedure, to tolerate a flight and an unfamiliar environment, and the burden carried by the person travelling with the patient. Our team weighs those together with the medical file.

Closely. A trusted family member takes part in consent, in confirming medications, in orientation during the stay and in the follow-up conversations afterwards, because they are the ones who will notice change first. The patient's own preferences stay central throughout.

Dementia, cardiovascular and sleep medication continues unless your prescribing doctor decides otherwise - nothing is stopped for our plan. Our medical team reviews the full list for interactions and for anything that affects procedure or travel safety, and shares the plan with your doctor at home.

Yes. Our regenerative medicine program works with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) grown from Wharton's jelly, the gelatinous tissue inside the umbilical cord. It is donated after a healthy birth with written maternal consent, from tissue that would otherwise be discarded, so nothing is taken from mother or baby and none of the ethical questions attached to embryonic sources arise. Because these cells expand readily in culture, a batch is characterised and release-tested before it reaches anyone. Your written plan names the material, how it is prepared, the dose, the route of administration and the schedule, and our medical team explains why each of those was chosen for your case.

Wharton's jelly is a young, perinatal tissue rather than an adult one, so the starting material does not carry the age or the health history of the person being treated, and nothing has to be harvested from you on the day. These cells also have a low-immunogenicity profile, which is why this source is studied for use between unrelated people. Most of all, they are strong secretors: the signalling molecules MSCs release are the mechanism most current research centres on, and that is what a plan is built around.

The length of stay follows your plan: the route of administration, the number of sessions, the monitoring after each one, and any mobility or assistance you need. Our patient coordination team confirms appointment dates, daily timings and the expected length of the visit in writing before you book flights.

No medical procedure is free of risk. Our medical team screens for infection, bleeding risk, medication interactions and other contraindications before treatment, explains the risks specific to the route used in your plan, and monitors you during administration and afterwards. If something makes treatment unsafe for you, we say so instead of proceeding.

Goals are set with you and described as aims, not results. Regenerative medicine treatments are planned individually, responses vary between patients and no clinical outcome can be guaranteed. Your plan states what will be measured, when it will be reviewed, and how treatment sits alongside the care you already receive.

Send your confirmed diagnosis, recent reports and imaging, your current medication list, previous procedures and the goals that matter to you. Our medical team reviews them remotely and comes back with an assessment of whether treatment in Istanbul is appropriate for your case, and what the next step would be.
