Bladder Cancer Treatment in Israel
The urology department of the Top Ichilov Medical Center provides treatment for malignant bladder pathology using a new and unique method – the Synergo device. The device operates on the principle of combining two techniques: chemotherapy and hyperthermia.
The treatment has proven to be a very effective method for preventing cancer recurrence after surgery, serving as an alternative to surgical treatment for patients with contraindications to surgery, extensive cancer lesions, and multiple neoplasms in the bladder.

How Does the Synergo Device Work?
A catheter with a guiding antenna is inserted into the bladder. The antenna begins to emit ultrasound waves and heats the walls of the bladder. The catheter is equipped with temperature sensors that monitor the tissue temperatures of the organ, and the specialist controls the heating during the procedure. Simultaneously, a chemotherapeutic agent is introduced into the bladder, which is well absorbed by the atypical cells of the tumor and blocks their growth and division.
The Top Ichilov Medical Center offers two types of Synergo treatment:
- Prevention. Procedures are performed on patients to eliminate tumor recurrences after surgery. Unlike standard bladder irrigation with chemotherapeutics, treatment with the Synergo device provides almost a 100% guarantee against recurrences in the future.
- Cancer Treatment. The procedure is indicated for patients with extensive malignant processes, multiple malignant tumors in the bladder, large neoplasms, as well as for patients for whom surgical treatment is not possible. For all these patients, Synergo treatment is a real chance for recovery.
Duration of Treatment Course
The standard treatment consists of 6 procedures, scheduled once a week, with each procedure lasting about an hour. If treatment is prescribed as prevention, one procedure per month is indicated (the number depends on the pathology).
The most appealing aspect of treatment with the Synergo device for patients is the painlessness of the procedures, eliminating the need for any anesthesia. Additionally, there are no observed side effects after treatment: weakness, nausea, hair loss, etc. Procedures are performed in an outpatient setting, allowing the patient to leave the department immediately afterward.
