Areas of Expertise
Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgery
Surgical treatment of colorectal, gastric, and pancreatic cancers with an emphasis on oncologically complete resections and optimal margin clearance.
Hepatobiliary Surgery
Surgical management of liver tumors (primary and metastatic) and bile duct malignancies, including complex hepatic resections.
Laparoscopic & Minimally Invasive Surgery
Laparoscopic approaches to oncologic resections where appropriate, offering reduced recovery time and surgical trauma while maintaining oncologic standards.
Oncologic Resections
Complex oncologic resections for abdominal malignancies, coordinated with medical oncology for neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy to optimize outcomes.
Approach to Patient Care
Prof. Dr. Camcı's surgical philosophy prioritizes oncologic completeness while favoring minimally invasive techniques when they do not compromise the cancer operation. For each patient, the decision between open and laparoscopic surgery is made based on tumor size, location, and staging, always with the goal of achieving clear surgical margins and adequate lymph node assessment.
He works in close coordination with medical oncologists to ensure that neoadjuvant therapy (pre-surgical chemotherapy or radiation) is used when it can improve surgical outcomes, and that adjuvant therapy follows surgery at the appropriate interval. This multidisciplinary coordination is central to how he practices at BHT Clinic İstanbul Tema.
