Treatment Methods for Lung Adenocarcinoma in Israel
The oncologists at Top Ichilov can offer a wide range of treatment options for lung adenocarcinoma. The treatment strategy depends on the stage of cancer, the overall condition, and the personal preferences of the patient.
- Chemotherapy. For patients whose cancer has spread beyond the regional lymph nodes, chemotherapy is often prescribed in conjunction with radiation therapy. As with other types of non-small cell lung cancer, patients with adenocarcinoma are recommended to receive treatment with two chemotherapeutic agents as first-line therapy. The oncologists at Top Ichilov select chemotherapy drugs on an individual basis, depending on the patient's overall health and their ability to tolerate the side effects of therapy.
- Targeted Therapy. Today, Top Ichilov has the capability to test tumors for various genetic mutations. This is necessary to select an effective targeted drug. Targeted medications help slow tumor growth by blocking specific chemical reactions caused by genetic mutations. This strategy can be particularly beneficial for certain patients, such as women with adenocarcinoma who have never smoked.
- Immunotherapy. This method aims to enhance the natural ability of the immune system to fight cancer cells. Immune drugs "train" the body's defense system to identify and kill cancer cells. Top Ichilov actively uses modern targeted drugs from a group known as checkpoint inhibitors. This is a progressive method of treating lung adenocarcinoma in Israel, with reviews that inspire hope for patients with advanced cancer.
Radiation Therapy. Used both for treating cancer and for controlling symptoms in patients with metastatic tumors. Top Ichilov employs a high-tech method of radiotherapy – stereotactic radiosurgery. It is used to remove small tumors that cannot be surgically removed. Currently, stereotactic surgery is also used to treat lung cancer metastases in the brain.- Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is used to remove small tumors at an early stage, especially if they are located near the outer edge of the lung. VATS can also be used for diagnosing lung cancer. This is a less invasive and traumatic procedure than traditional open surgery.
- Lobectomy. Removal of one of the five lobes of the lungs. Applicable if adenocarcinoma is detected at a very early stage.
- Wedge Resection. Removal of the tumor with a small margin of healthy tissue around it. This surgery is recommended for resection of small tumors (less than 2 cm in diameter), as well as for treating concurrent conditions that make the removal of the entire segment dangerous.
- Segmentectomy. Removal of one of the small segments within a lobe of the lung. Also recommended only for treating small tumors.
- Pneumonectomy. Surgical removal of an entire lung. It is performed if the tumor is very large or located close to the center of the chest. The surgeons at Top Ichilov have extensive experience in treating lung cancer. Therefore, even the most complex surgeries are performed here with a high success rate.
