At the Top Ichilov Medical Center, adrenal tumor removal is performed by highly skilled specialists, experienced doctors who have undergone years of training in the best clinics and universities in the USA, Canada, and Europe, and who master modern surgical techniques and advanced medical equipment. Typically, the tumor is removed using minimally invasive methods through small incisions, which minimizes trauma to the body and significantly shortens rehabilitation times.

Adrenal Tumor Treatment in Israel at Top Ichilov
In adrenal cancer, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are not very effective; they are mainly used to prevent further cancer spread and to reduce pain. Chemotherapy is also used to lower hormone levels in the body.
The primary method for treating adrenal cancer is surgery for partial or complete removal of the adrenal gland. In most cases, the surgeons at Top Ichilov prefer to perform minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries through a small incision. For such surgeries, two types of access are practiced: from the abdominal cavity (transabdominal access) or from the lower back (retroperitoneal access). An endoscope with a camera, light source, and microsurgical instrument is inserted through the incision. For complete removal of the adrenal gland, adrenalectomy, an inert gas is pumped into the abdominal cavity to better visualize the surgical area. Laparoscopic surgery significantly reduces the risk of postoperative complications and shortens the rehabilitation period.
In the later stages of tumor development, with its large size and the presence of numerous metastases, the adrenal glands are removed using conventional access through an incision in the front abdominal wall or from the chest (thoracoabdominal access).

Diagnosis of Adrenal Tumors in Israel
Diagnosis at Top Ichilov is a guarantee of timely detection of any disease, including asymptomatic and difficult-to-diagnose oncological and benign tumors. Modern equipment and the extensive experience of Israeli diagnostic doctors help accurately determine the location of the tumor, its size, structure, and the presence of metastases.
First Day
On the first day at the clinic, the patient undergoes a consultation with a leading oncologist, who reviews their medical history and test results brought to Israel. The doctor then conducts a preliminary examination of the patient and provides a referral for additional diagnostics if necessary. Simultaneously, all necessary documents for treatment are prepared.
Second Day
On the second day, the main diagnostic procedures are performed. The primary diagnostic methods for adrenal tumors at Top Ichilov include:
- laboratory blood and urine tests;
- ultrasound examination (US);
- one of the most modern methods MSCT (used since 1992) - multi-slice computed tomography with the introduction of a contrast agent into the veins;
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
- positron emission tomography (PET).
It is important to note that not all types of adrenal tumors can be diagnosed early: primary cancerous tumors of the cortex are rarely detected at early stages. This is another reason why patients suspected of having an adrenal tumor should seek treatment at a leading Israeli clinic and not rely on local diagnostics: unfortunately, we know of hundreds of cases where tourists from the former CIS countries were given incorrect diagnoses. This is due to both insufficient equipment levels and, primarily, the inadequate qualifications of technicians and diagnosticians.
Third Day.
On the third day, a pre-formed expert group of specialists from various fields develops a comprehensive treatment plan. The group includes oncologists, nephrologists, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy specialists. These doctors continuously monitor the patient's condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
