Lip Cancer is Successfully Treated at the Top Ichilov Medical Center
The treatment program for lip cancer directly depends on the stage of the disease and the extent of the process. For early-stage cancer and localized processes, radiation therapy is administered. Modern equipment allows for targeting only the neoplasm, sparing healthy tissues. The precision of the treatment area is determined by high-precision computer equipment, which calculates the dose and duration of treatment, ensuring minimal radiation exposure for patients.
If the patient is found to have advanced-stage cancer (third, fourth) – surgical treatment is indicated. During the operation, the neoplasm itself and the surrounding tissues are removed. In cases of regional lymph node involvement, they are excised. The surgical operation is performed by highly qualified surgeons, and simultaneous plastic reconstruction of the lip is carried out. After the operation, the patient retains external attractiveness.
One of the modern methods of treating lip cancer used at the Top Ichilov Medical Center is cryodestruction. In this case, the ability of liquid nitrogen to freeze tissues is utilized. This method is widely used even in weakened and elderly patients. Specialists note not only the effectiveness of the treatment but also the absence of side effects, which is very important for complicated patients.
For small tumors that are not complicated by metastases, photodynamic therapy is used. This involves laser exposure to the cancerous tumor after the administration of a photosensitizing agent.
