Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the most common form of leukemia. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is quite difficult to diagnose and treat, which is why Israel, with its innovative approaches, is the best choice for effective therapy. In Israel, great attention is paid to the treatment of oncological diseases. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia at Top Ichilov is treated only by the most experienced oncohematologists using modern equipment and the latest medications.
Currently, chronic lymphocytic leukemia in Israel is not considered a life-threatening disease: the slow progression of the pathology allows doctors to carefully monitor the patient's condition and do everything possible for a person with this pathology to lead a full life.

Modern Techniques as a Guarantee of Healing
Treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in Israel is characterized by high effectiveness: the level of medicine in this country is such that almost all patients achieve durable remissions that last quite long, allowing patients to lead a normal life. At Top Ichilov, several treatment methods for acute lymphocytic leukemia are practiced, with the choice of each depending on many factors in Israel.
- Active surveillance. If lymphocytic leukemia is diagnosed at an early stage, Israeli doctors do not take active measures to avoid exacerbating the patient's condition with therapy side effects. Nevertheless, the patient must regularly undergo tests and examinations so that the doctor does not miss the moment when the disease begins to progress.
- Chemotherapy is the main method of treating chronic and acute lymphocytic leukemia in Israel. Chemotherapeutic agents should be prescribed to the patient only by an experienced doctor and on an individual basis. Chemotherapy can be oral, intravenous, or combined. Specialists at Top Ichilov develop a treatment plan for each patient, selecting the most effective medications and doing everything possible to minimize side effects.
- Medication for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In Israel, steroids may be prescribed, as well as medications necessary to alleviate the manifestations of leukemia (antibiotics to combat infections, immunoglobulins, etc.).
- Monoclonal therapy is an innovative method widely practiced in Israel that yields very good results. The essence of the therapy is that monoclonal antibodies are administered to the patient, destroying only atypical cells while sparing healthy ones.
- Radiation therapy is prescribed to patients with enlarged lymph nodes, spleen, and liver. Only the affected areas of the body are irradiated, and in cases of widespread disease, the entire body is treated.
- Lymphocytic leukemia: surgery in Israel. Enlarged spleen and lymph nodes are subject to removal. Surgery in Israel is combined with medication and radiation treatment of leukemia, yielding remarkable healing results.
- Bone marrow transplantation is a very effective method that allows doctors to prescribe the patient a course of intensive chemotherapy that completely destroys atypical stem cells and transplant absolutely healthy bone marrow.
