Treatment of Internal Organ Tumors in Israel — At the Forefront of Modern Medicine

Modern Approaches to Therapy

Internal organ tumors vary greatly. They are primarily divided into two large groups — benign and malignant. Therapy for neoplasms in the first group is generally easier, while therapy for tumors in the second group often requires a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach.

• Surgery

Surgical interventions have been and will remain the most effective form of therapy for any neoplasms for a long time. While previously the term "surgery" implied an intervention with a large incision, significant blood loss, and pronounced postoperative pain syndrome, today surgical methods have advanced significantly. In Israeli clinics, minimally invasive techniques are typically used, which do not require large incisions — all instruments are introduced through small ports (incisions no longer than one centimeter). This approach allows for tumor removal while minimizing surgical risks and speeding up patient rehabilitation.

Israeli surgeons consistently strive to adhere to organ-preserving principles, either removing the tumor within healthy tissues or removing part of the organ along with the tumor while preserving its functionality. Typical examples of this approach include resection of a lobe of the lung, liver, removal of part of a kidney, partial resection of the stomach, etc. Here are a few examples of modern surgical techniques widely used at the Top Ichilov center.

• Laparoscopic surgeries accessed through several punctures in the abdominal wall (e.g., removal of neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract and bladder, tumors of the female reproductive system, etc.).
• Endoscopic interventions accessed through natural body openings (e.g., removal of neoplasms of the prostate, intestines, pituitary gland, etc.).
• Robot-assisted surgeries using the Da Vinci surgical robot — a state-of-the-art system capable of fully replacing the surgeon's hands in performing a wide range of laparoscopic interventions.

• Interventional Procedures

In many cases, interventional procedures represent a good alternative to surgical treatment. Various catheters, probes, laser, and ultrasound equipment are used in these procedures, allowing for effective destruction of tumor tissues with minimal traumatic impact on the patient's body.

• Radiofrequency ablation — destruction of tumor tissues using an electrode inserted into the neoplasm, which receives a current of a specific frequency.
• Cryoablation — removal of the neoplasm by inserting a cryoprobe and conducting several cycles of freezing and thawing of tumor tissues.
• Chemical ablation — introduction of aggressive chemicals (phenol, ethanol, etc.) into the neoplasm.
• FUS ablation — non-contact impact on the tumor using focused high-intensity ultrasound.
• Non-contact laser treatment of neoplasms using a laser of a specific wavelength.

• Radiotherapy

Using modern high-tech linear accelerators and stereotactic radiosurgery systems, Israeli doctors treat a wide range of malignant and benign neoplasms, from brain tumors to rectal neoplasms. The equipment used is so advanced that it allows for precise focusing of the ionizing beam within the neoplasm, preserving healthy tissues and organs from the aggressive effects of radiation.

• Chemotherapy

Systemic chemotherapeutic agents are widely used in oncology when it is necessary to reduce the size of a neoplasm before surgery or to achieve complete eradication of remaining malignant cells at the microscopic level after the intervention. Modern chemotherapeutic agents can be administered intravenously and orally, have reduced side effects, and allow for rapid suppression of the malignant process.

• Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy represents a relatively new term in the pharmacological treatment of malignant tumors. It is based on the use of special drugs that can influence critical metabolic or regulatory processes essential for tumor growth, stimulate the body's own immune forces, or exert selective toxic effects on tumor cells. The use of such drugs allows for a fundamentally higher level of cancer treatment effectiveness and significantly increases the long-term survival of oncology patients.

A clear illustration of how effectively the treatment of internal organ tumors is conducted in Israel is the feedback from numerous foreign citizens who have experienced the high professionalism of Israeli doctors and returned home completely healthy.

Diagnostics

To learn about the intricacies of diagnosing your disease, you do not need to travel to Israel. Our clinic offers you a unique opportunity to undergo a remote video consultation with one of the top doctors at Ichilov. All you need is the internet and the Skype program. The doctor will answer your questions, clarify any unclear points, and explain the main features of organizing treatment at the clinic. Later, upon arriving in Tel Aviv, you will be able to have an in-person introductory consultation with a specialist for free.
