Top Ihilov – Innovative Technologies in Skin Cancer Treatment

Skin Cancer Treatment in Israel. Top Ihilov Specialists Are Here to Help

The main method of treating squamous cell carcinoma in Israel is surgical intervention. During the operation, all affected tissues and lymph nodes containing cancer cells are excised.

At Top Ihilov, one of the most modern and effective surgeries is performed – tumour removal using the MOHS method, which involves layer-by-layer removal of the tumour with subsequent histological analysis of each layer. This method allows for the complete removal of the tumour, preventing the possibility of recurrence.

Recently, in the former CIS countries and some other countries, patients have been actively offered treatment for basalioma through laser excision of the tumour. According to specialists from the research department of Top Ihilov, such surgical intervention is not truly effective. The laser cannot excise a deeply infiltrating basalioma adequately. Therefore, in most cases, there is a recurrence of skin cancer.

Israeli surgeons working at Top Ihilov perform this operation exclusively with a scalpel. The layer-by-layer removal of the tumour is always controlled by microscopic examination of each layer. The operation is stopped only when there are no cancer cells in the slice, that is, until healthy tissue is reached.

To combat skin cancer metastases, mainly for treating tumours of the upper layers, various local chemotherapy drugs are widely used at Top Ihilov.

One of the modern methods for treating tumours of the upper layers of the skin is photodynamic therapy. A special drug is introduced into the area of the tumour (or applied to the skin in the form of a cream), which accumulates in cancer cells and is then activated by light.

If the tumour is localized in a place where surgery is difficult to apply, such as on the eyelids or in the nose, radiation therapy is used.

Thanks to all these methods, skin cancer treatment in Israel has the highest chance of being successful compared to all other options.

Skin Cancer - Accurate and Rapid Diagnosis at Top Ihilov

Currently, with the advent of the latest digital technologies and the development of telemedicine, online consultations are becoming increasingly common, but it is not always possible to confidently speak about a particular disease. Even a high-resolution photograph does not allow for a confident diagnosis and the correct treatment to be prescribed.

Top Ihilov specialists believe that if skin cancer is suspected, a complete examination is necessary. Sometimes the external appearance of changes in the skin may be the result of inflammatory diseases unrelated to skin cancer.

Even if the diagnosis is fully confirmed, the patient needs to undergo an examination to clarify the area of the lesion, exclude the presence of metastases, etc. The following methods are used during the examination:

• examination, consultation with a dermatologist;
• mandatory biopsy, histological examination of the sample;
• laboratory blood tests: biochemical analysis, general, liver serology, lipids, tumour markers, coagulation, electrolytes;
• PET CT to exclude or confirm the involvement of other organs by cancer, the spread of metastases, involvement of lymph nodes, thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, etc. The procedure covers the examination of the entire body;
• consultation with a radiologist after CT (optional);
• consultation with a surgical dermatologist.
