If a person has been diagnosed with cancer metastases, treatment in Israel will be the optimal solution: everything is provided here to save the patient's life and maximize its quality.
The success of metastasis treatment in Israel, the prices of all procedures, and the duration of therapy directly depend on the type of oncological disease and its stage.
Cancer Metastases: Key Concepts
Metastatic cancer is secondary cancer that arises from the dissemination of cancer cells to other organs via blood or lymph. In most cases, metastases spread to the bones, lungs, or liver. The primary task of doctors is to accurately determine the location of the metastases. The success of treating secondary cancer depends on this. Additionally, metastasis therapy also involves controlling their growth, alleviating painful symptoms, and improving the overall condition of the patient.
If cancer has metastasized, diagnosis in Israel will detect secondary tumors with 100% accuracy and allow for the selection of the most appropriate treatment.

Progressive Treatment Methods for Metastases at Top Ichilov
In most cases, the primary tumor does not manifest itself; the appearance of specific symptoms indicates the development of secondary cancer. If metastases affect bone tissue, patients complain of severe bone pain and frequent fractures. Metastases in the brain are accompanied by headaches, seizures, and other pronounced neurological symptoms, while metastases in the lungs manifest as shortness of breath up to the development of suffocation and dry cough.
Treatment of metastases in Israel, where prices are more reasonable compared to European and American clinics, directly depends on the type of primary oncological disease, the size of the metastases, their number, and location.
At our clinic, metastatic cancer is treated using the following methods:
- chemotherapy;
- hormonal therapy;
- biological therapy;
- targeted therapy;
- administration of radioactive drugs;
- radiofrequency ablation;
- surgical methods;
- radiation therapy.
A combination of the listed methods may also be used.
Radioactive drugs are administered intravenously. They are actively absorbed by cancer cells and effectively destroy them without affecting healthy cells.
Radiation therapy allows for the maximum reduction of metastasis size, alleviation of pain syndrome, and prevention of further development and spread of metastases throughout the body. Doctors at Top Ichilov can accurately calculate the dose and depth of radiation using computer planning methods.
Radiofrequency ablation involves using high-frequency electrical impulses to reduce pain sensations and destroy metastatic tumors: a needle is used as a conductor, inserted directly into the formation.
Metastasis removal in Israel is performed using laparoscopic surgeries, which are sometimes combined with chemotherapy. Surgical operations are indicated if metastatic tumors are found in the brain, lungs, liver, intestines, or bones.
Pharmacological treatment of metastases using the latest drugs has shown quite high results. In particular, bisphosphonates are used for secondary bone cancer. Drugs in this group reduce pain sensations, significantly slow down the tumor growth process and destruction of bone tissue, and minimize the risk of fractures. Currently, bisphosphonates remain one of the most effective methods for treating metastases.
At the Top Ichilov Medical Center, scientific research continues with the goal of creating new, even more effective methods for destroying cancer cells and metastases, blocking their active growth and spread.
