Kidney Cancer Treatment in Israel

The most common type of kidney cancer is carcinoma. It accounts for 80% of all malignant kidney tumors.

In the early stages of kidney carcinoma, a person may notice blood in the urine, which can range in color from light pink to dark red. This is followed by pain in the lower back that may radiate to the upper ribs, groin, and perineum. A characteristic feature of carcinoma is a rise in body temperature in the evening to 38-39 degrees.

Kidney Carcinoma - Treatment at Top Ichilov Clinic

The method of treating kidney carcinoma at the Top Ichilov clinic is chosen only after comprehensive diagnostics and analysis. Surgical methods for tumor removal are preferred, as carcinoma cells are resistant to chemotherapy.

In the early stages of the disease, non-surgical methods for destroying the tumor using ultrasound, laser, or X-ray radiation, and cold are possible. These treatment methods are performed on the most modern equipment and under CT guidance. One such method, cryoablation, affects the tumor with low temperatures (-35 degrees) and freezes it, causing cancer cell death. The radiofrequency ablation method, on the other hand, heats the tumor to high temperatures, also leading to its death. The gamma knife method destroys the tumor using a precisely directed beam of X-rays.

If the tumor is large, a nephrectomy is performed to remove it. The kidney may be partially or completely removed. The surgery can be performed openly or laparoscopically through a probe.

A new method for treating kidney cancer using targeted drugs that specifically affect cancer cells is being developed in Israel.

The key to successful kidney carcinoma treatment lies in comprehensive therapy and an individualized approach to each patient.

Diagnosis of Kidney Carcinoma at Top Ichilov Clinic

At the Top Ichilov clinic in Israel, the examination of a patient suspected of having kidney cancer is conducted according to a strictly defined plan and takes no more than two days.

1. Kidney Ultrasound;
2. CT;
3. MRI of the retroperitoneal space, abdominal and thoracic organs to detect metastases;
4. If necessary, a contrast study is performed - excretory urography.
