Treatment Methods for Lung Adenocarcinoma in Israel

The oncologists at Top Ihilov 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 Ihilov select chemotherapeutic 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 Ihilov has the capability to test the tumour for various genetic mutations. This is necessary to choose an effective targeted drug. Targeted medications help slow the growth of the tumour 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. At Top Ihilov, modern targeted drugs from a group called checkpoint inhibitors are actively used. This is a progressive method of treating lung adenocarcinoma in Israel, and feedback about it gives hope to patients with advanced cancer.
Radiation Therapy. Used both for treating cancer and for controlling symptoms in patients with metastatic tumours. At Top Ihilov, a high-tech method of radiotherapy – stereotactic radiosurgery – is used. It is employed to remove small tumours 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 tumours 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 operation compared to traditional open surgery.
Lobectomy. Removal of one of the five lobes of the lung. Applicable if adenocarcinoma is detected at a very early stage.
Wedge Resection. Removal of the tumour with a small margin of healthy tissue around it. This surgery is recommended for resection of small tumours (less than 2 cm in diameter), as well as for treating coexisting 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 tumours.
Pneumonectomy. Surgical removal of the entire lung. It is performed if the tumour is very large or located close to the center of the chest. The surgeons at Top Ihilov have extensive experience in treating lung cancer. Therefore, even the most complex surgeries here are performed with a high success rate.
