Effective Treatment Methods for Hodgkin's Lymphoma in Israel

Treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2020 at the Top Ichilov clinic is carried out using the most effective methods, the choice of which depends on the stage of the disease.

1. Radiation therapy. Indicated for treating Hodgkin's lymphoma stages 1-2.
2. Chemotherapy. Prescribed for stages 3-4 of the disease.
3. Combined treatment (chemotherapy + radiotherapy) is considered more effective and is prescribed to many patients.
4. Monoclonal antibody therapy. An innovative method of treating oncological diseases, successfully practiced in the best clinics in Israel.

The first sessions of therapy are conducted in a hospital under the supervision of specialists, and subsequent treatment may be outpatient.

Treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma in men has a side effect, namely the inability to have children in the future. If a patient plans to become a father later, he can deposit sperm in a bank before starting treatment and use it for IVF in the future.

It is also worth noting that Hodgkin's lymphoma has a tendency to relapse. In the case of treatment for a recurrence of the disease, the patient is prescribed high doses of medications, so he may later require a bone marrow transplant.

Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Diagnostics

Usually, the examination and accurate diagnosis at the Ichilov clinic are planned even before the patient's arrival and are clearly scheduled by days. Most often, the entire process takes no more than three to four days.

First Day of Diagnostics

Upon arrival at the clinic, the patient meets with the attending physician, who conducts a comprehensive examination, reviews the medical documents brought by the patient, and decides on further examinations if necessary.

Second Day of Diagnostics

The specialists at the Top Ichilov clinic use a highly informative basic examination program for patients with a preliminary diagnosis of "Hodgkin's lymphoma." The diagnostic program may include the following tests and analyses at the physician's request:

1. Comprehensive blood tests (general, biochemistry, tumor markers, lipids, electrolytes, etc.);
2. Review of biopsy of affected lymph nodes and bone marrow (if conducted);
3. New biopsy (if necessary) to identify Hodgkin's lymphoma-specific Reed-Sternberg cells;
4. Chest X-ray;
5. CT and MRI of the chest and abdomen;

If necessary, optional examination methods may be prescribed for the patient:

1. Analysis for reactive lymphadenopathy;
2. PET-CT;
3. Laparoscopy for biopsy of abdominal lymph nodes.

Third Day of Examination

Based on the results of the conducted studies, the doctors at Top Ichilov gather a council and develop a treatment plan tailored to each patient. The patient may be present during this final discussion and ask questions.

It is possible to receive qualified consultation at the clinic without coming to Israel. This is usually necessary in cases where the patient doubts that a correct diagnosis was made in their home country or wants to know what treatment options the clinic has. The consultation is conducted via Skype: an expert in Hodgkin's lymphoma treatment carefully studies the medical documents, copies of which are sent to the clinic by the patient. Based on this data, during the consultation, he expresses his expert opinion on the disease and treatment methods. The patient can choose a convenient time for the online consultation. To do this, it is necessary to send a request to the Top Ichilov website, indicating the diagnosis and contact information.
