Cancer treatment in Israel

Decreasing cancer occurrences is among the main challenges of modern high-tech medicine. Early diagnosis and effective treatment are key determinants of the prognosis in cancer patients. The treatment of cancer in Israel involves an individual approach to the patient. Highly skilled specialists consider all patient characteristics, age, concomitant diseases, tolerability of therapies, etc. The most advanced methods, treatments, and technologies are used. That is why Israeli clinics traditionally provide top-quality cancer treatment.

Anticancer Treatments

Therapeutic options for malignant and benign neoplasms include:

  • Chemotherapy. Anticancer drugs inhibit the growth and metastatic spread of malignant cells. Most commonly, chemotherapy is a part of combination therapy. Pre- and postoperative chemotherapy courses may be used to treat cancer in Israel.
  • Surgery. Highly skilled Israeli specialists always observe the principle of wide local excision and no-touch technique. That is why recurrences and metastases occur very rarely after the removal of the tumor. If necessary, palliative and symptomatic surgical interventions are also performed;
  • Radiation Therapy. Radiation therapy is the only curative treatment for numerous malignancies. Current studies in nuclear physics have resulted in new methods of radiation therapy in oncology. Precise local and contact forms of irradiation are increasingly being used, enabling the application of higher doses without risk of side effects and complications;
  • Hormone therapy is used to treat hormone-sensitive cancers. Hormonal agents are commonly included in standard treatment protocols for hematological malignancies. These agents can significantly suppress the immune system, which may have a positive effect on a patient’s well-being and outcome prognosis;
  • Bone marrow transplantation is a modern treatment option for cancer patients. In tertiary cancer centers of Israel, specialists prepare the donor and recipient for stem cell transplantation, preserve biological material, perform bone marrow transplantation, monitor the patient’s status, etc. With accumulating evidence of efficacy and an ever-growing number of indications, many oncologists consider bone marrow transplantation to be a promising approach.
