Top Ichilov – Innovative Technologies in Skin Cancer Treatment

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

The main method for treating squamous cell skin cancer in Israel is surgical intervention. During the operation, all affected tissues and lymph nodes where cancer cells are found are excised.

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

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

Israeli surgeons working at Top Ichilov perform this operation exclusively with a scalpel. Layer-by-layer tumor removal 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, primarily for treating tumors of the upper layers, various local chemotherapy drugs are widely used at Top Ichilov.

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

If the tumor 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 among all possible options.

Skin Cancer - Accurate and Quick Diagnosis at Top Ichilov

Currently, with the advent of the latest digital technologies and the development of telemedicine, online consultations have become 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 appointment of the correct treatment.

Specialists at Top Ichilov 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 involvement, exclude the presence of metastases, etc. The following methods are used in the examination:

• examination, consultation with a dermatologist;
• mandatory biopsy, histological examination of the sample;
• laboratory blood tests: biochemical analysis, general, liver serology, lipids, tumor 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 dermatological surgeon.
