Treatment of Gynecological Tumors in Israel Using Modern Methods

The success of treatment and a favorable prognosis are ensured by accurate diagnosis at the earliest stages of the disease. In Israeli clinics, diagnostic examinations are conducted using state-of-the-art high-tech equipment, allowing for the detection of small tumors in 95-97% of cases. Numerous patient testimonials indicate that often the most accurate examinations can refute diagnoses made in their home countries. Treatment of reproductive organ tumors is carried out by oncologists recognized worldwide, possessing the highest level of qualifications and many years of experience. Many medical tourists are also attracted by the reasonable cost of therapy, which is significantly lower than in European and American clinics.

How Treatment of Oncological Gynecological Pathologies is Conducted

Treatment methods are chosen based on the type of pathology diagnosed in the patient and the severity of the symptoms. The stage of development and characteristics of the patient are also of great importance. Treatment of oncological gynecological diseases is conducted using various traditional and innovative techniques.

Surgical Treatment

For certain types of benign neoplasms and advanced stages of cancer, resection of the tumor or removal of the affected organ is recommended. For instance, in the case of ovarian cancer, removal of the ovaries is performed, and for cancer of the body of the uterus, removal of the uterus is indicated, with preservation of the cervix or hysterectomy (resection of the entire organ). Most often, surgical intervention is performed using a minimally invasive laparoscopic method, with the introduction of a laparoscope equipped with a camera and surgical instruments through several small incisions, from 1 to 1.5 centimeters, in the abdominal wall. Endoscopic surgeries are also used, where access to the surgical field is achieved through the vagina.

The maximum precision of surgical interventions on gynecological organs is ensured by the use of the Da Vinci robotic surgical system. All surgical actions are performed by a robot, which is remotely controlled by an oncologist.

Conization

A minimally invasive procedure indicated in cases of precancerous pathologies and early stages of cervical cancer. The intervention aims to resect a conical fragment of the cervical canal and the area involved in the malignant process.

Radiotherapy

Radiation therapy for oncological diseases of the female reproductive system is conducted using both external and internal methods. External beam radiation therapy is performed on modern devices that ensure precise irradiation of the pathological focus with minimal negative impact on healthy tissues. The use of modern technologies such as IMRT and IGRT allows for modulation of the intensity of irradiation in different areas and adjustment of the beam direction during the procedure based on the slightest changes in the patient's body position.

Internal radiation therapy is performed using a modern technique called brachytherapy. In this case, a high-dose ionizing radiation source is introduced into the tumor, allowing for irradiation of the pathological area from within. This method does not harm surrounding healthy tissues.

Cryodestruction

An effective method for removing benign neoplasms and small malignant tumors. The procedure is based on destroying pathological cells by freezing at ultra-low temperatures achieved by treating the neoplasm with liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is delivered to the tumor through a cryoprobe.

Laser Therapy

Indicated for oncological pathologies of the cervix, vagina, and some other types of cancer. Before the procedure, a photosensitizing compound that accumulates in malignant cells is administered intravenously to the patient. Subsequent exposure to a laser beam causes irreversible damage to the cells containing a large amount of this substance.

Chemotherapy

Indicated in the late stages of oncological gynecological diseases, when distant metastases are diagnosed. Chemotherapeutic agents spread throughout the patient's body via blood vessels, destructively affecting malignant cells localized away from the primary tumor. Two types of chemotherapy are distinguished:

• neoadjuvant (preoperative) — aimed at reducing the size of the neoplasm to operable;
• adjuvant (postoperative) — conducted to destroy malignant cells that remain in the patient's body after surgical treatment and to prevent recurrence.

Immunotherapy

An innovative treatment method that involves the use of drugs that stimulate the anti-tumor activity of the patient's own immune system. Several main groups of immunotherapeutic agents are distinguished:

• monoclonal antibodies — recognize and attack only the tumor cells that have specific receptors;
• cellular immunotherapy — immune cells are selected from the patient, modified in laboratory conditions, and trained to recognize the cells of this neoplasm, then reintroduced to significantly reduce the tumor, even to the point of complete disappearance;
• anti-tumor vaccines — created based on isolated cells from this neoplasm, promoting active destruction of cancer cells by the immune system.

Targeted Therapy

One of the most promising methods for treating oncological gynecological diseases, regardless of their cause. It is based on targeted effects on malignant cells, preventing their growth, division, and spread throughout the body. The main types of targeted drugs include:

• immunotherapeutics (monoclonal antibodies);
• angiogenesis inhibitors (formation of blood vessels responsible for supplying the neoplasm);
• apoptosis stimulators (self-destruction of malignant cells).

The use of targeted drugs does not damage healthy tissues.

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC)

An innovative chemotherapeutic method in which the pathological focus is washed with a concentrated solution of chemotherapeutic agents heated to about 42℃. Typically, the procedure is performed at the final stage of surgical intervention. Due to local effects, minimal harm is done to healthy tissues. The high temperature of the chemotherapeutic solution ensures better penetration into pathological tissues and greater effectiveness.

Hormonal Therapy

Used in cases of benign and malignant gynecological tumors that are sensitive to hormones. The goal of therapy is to suppress the synthesis of estrogen hormones that stimulate the growth and division of pathologically altered cells.

How Diagnosis of Oncological Gynecological Pathologies is Conducted

To conduct a comprehensive diagnosis and develop an individual treatment program in Israeli clinics, an average of three days is required.
