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

Modern Approaches to Therapy

Internal organ tumours vary greatly. First of all, they are divided into two large groups — benign and malignant. Therapy for neoplasms from the first group is easier, while therapy for tumours from the second group often requires a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach.

• Surgery

Surgical interventions have been and will remain the most effective type of therapy for any neoplasms for a long time. If 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 generally used, which do not require large incisions — all instruments are introduced through small ports (incisions no longer than one centimeter). This approach allows, on the one hand, to remove the tumour, and on the other hand, to minimize surgical risks and accelerate the patient's rehabilitation time.

At the same time, Israeli surgeons strive to consistently follow organ-preserving principles and either remove the tumour within healthy tissues or remove part of the organ along with the tumour 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 several examples of modern surgical techniques that are widely used at the Top Ihilov center.

• Laparoscopic surgeries accessed through several punctures in the abdominal wall (example — removal of neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract and bladder, tumours of the female reproductive system, etc.).
• Endoscopic interventions accessed through natural body openings (example — removal of neoplasms of the prostate, intestine, pituitary gland, etc.).
• Robot-assisted surgeries using the da Vinci surgical robot — a super-modern system capable of completely replacing the surgeon's hands in performing a wide range of laparoscopic interventions.

• Interventional Procedures

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

• Radiofrequency ablation — destruction of tumour tissues using an electrode introduced into the neoplasm, to which a current of a specific frequency is applied.
• Cryoablation — removal of the neoplasm by introducing a cryoprobe and conducting several cycles of freezing and thawing of the tumour tissues.
• Chemoblation — introduction of aggressive chemicals (phenol, ethanol, etc.) into the neoplasm.
• FUS ablation — non-contact impact on the tumour 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 tumours 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 the 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 is a relatively new term in the drug treatment of malignant tumours. It is based on the use of special drugs that can affect critically important metabolic or regulatory processes for tumour growth, stimulate the body's own immune forces, or exert selective toxic effects on tumour cells. The use of such drugs allows for raising the effectiveness of cancer treatment to a fundamentally new level and significantly increasing the long-term survival of oncology patients.

A vivid illustration of how effectively the treatment of internal organ tumours is conducted in Israel is the feedback from many foreign citizens who have been able to verify through their own experience the high professionalism of Israeli doctors and returned to their homeland 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 doctors at Top Ihilov. All you need is the internet and the Skype program. The doctor will answer your questions, clarify any unclear points for you, and explain the main features of organizing treatment at the clinic. Later, upon arriving in Tel Aviv, you will be able to undergo an in-person introductory consultation with a specialist for free.
