Israeli specialists have been successfully treating fibrous neoplasms of the breast for a long time. Considering that in some cases there is a risk of malignant transformation of the neoplasm, the diagnosis of the disease is carried out in an expedited manner – treatment planning begins within three to four days.
Surgeons and mammologists at Top Ichilov are well-known both at home and abroad. Utilizing a rich set of surgical techniques, they ensure complete removal of the neoplasm while doing everything possible to preserve the aesthetics of the breast.
Treatment Methods for Fibroadenoma of the Breast in Israel
Fibroadenomas are benign neoplasms that arise in connective tissues. They can form on the surface of the skin, in tendon tissues, internal organs, and breast tissue. Most often, the neoplasm appears as a round-shaped tumor that does not cause pain. In most cases, Israeli specialists recommend removing such neoplasms as a risk factor for developing breast cancer.
Typically, the tumor begins to form during periods of significant hormonal changes in the body (puberty, menopause) and is represented by a fibroadenoma — a neoplasm consisting of both connective and glandular tissues. Most types of fibroadenomas are not prone to malignant transformation; however, the phyllodes tumor is quite often subject to malignancy, grows rapidly, and has a tendency to transform into sarcoma.
In the overwhelming majority of cases, the primary method of therapy chosen is surgical intervention. In the mildest cases, Top Ichilov specialists perform enucleation of the neoplasm — removing it within healthy breast tissue. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and does not require prolonged hospitalization. Typically, the surgery is conducted through a periareolar approach — a small incision along the lower border of the areola, which helps preserve the aesthetics of the breast.
If there is suspicion of malignancy or the neoplasm is large, a sectoral excision may be performed, during which part of the gland is removed (this operation is also organ-preserving).
After the resection, the tissue sample of the neoplasm is sent for histopathological analysis, allowing the specialist to accurately determine whether the tumor is benign or malignant and, if necessary, plan additional therapeutic measures. In several cases, the prognosis is good; therapy does not lead to a deterioration in the quality of life for the patient, and after treatment, only periodic preventive diagnostics of both breasts are required.
Evidence of the quality of treatment for fibroadenoma of the breast in Israel is the feedback from women who received medical assistance and returned home. Describing the treatment process in local clinics, they emphasize the high qualifications of mammologists and surgeons, as well as the good equipment of hospitals with modern technology.

Diagnosis of Fibroadenoma of the Breast in Israel
Before the diagnosis of fibroadenoma of the breast begins in Israel, the patient has the opportunity to communicate with a doctor from the comfort of her home. This is done through a video consultation via Skype. The woman can ask the specialist any questions and receive detailed answers regarding the methods of diagnosis and therapy for the disease.
A comprehensive set of studies is scheduled at the clinic, which usually takes place over three to four days.
Day One — Consultation
Along with a translator-coordinator, the patient goes for a consultation with a leading mammologist at the clinic (for patients who had a video consultation via Skype, the consultation is free).
Day Two — Investigations
- Physical examination.
- Ultrasound diagnostics.
- Biopsy under ultrasound guidance.
- Histopathological determination of the type of neoplasm.
- Mammographic studies.
Day Three — Commission
The exact diagnosis is established at the final stage of the investigations when a medical commission — a council — is convened. It is led by the leading mammologist, and the specialists included in the council collectively select the optimal method of therapy.
Treatment of Fibroadenoma of the Breast in Israel — Prices
When it comes to the cost of treating fibroadenoma of the breast in Israel, many patients living in the United States or leading European countries are surprised. In their home countries, the price of medical procedures is 30-45% higher than in Israeli clinics. Partly, it is the possibility of saving that determines Israel's popularity among foreign medical tourists.
