Treatment of Liposarcoma in Israel
Liposarcomas are malignant tumours of adipose tissue. They can develop anywhere in the body but most commonly occur behind the knee, on the thigh, or within the posterior abdomen. After thorough diagnosis, oncologists at Ichilov develop an individualized treatment program considering the histological type of sarcoma, the stage of the disease, and the overall condition of the patient. Among the main methods of modern sarcoma treatment in Israel, the following are important to note.
Surgical Treatment
Surgery aimed at the complete removal of the tumour. To date, this is the primary method for treating localized types of sarcoma, allowing for timely intervention and complete recovery. The oncological surgeons at Ichilov prefer minimally invasive methods for tumour removal. Such surgeries are easier for patients to endure, and the recovery process is significantly faster.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy at Ichilov is conducted using modern TrueBeam STx linear accelerators, ensuring safer and more precise irradiation of the tumour. In most cases, radiation therapy is prescribed after surgery. This is called adjuvant treatment. Its goal is to destroy any cancer cells that may remain after surgery. Radiation is also used before surgery to reduce the tumour and facilitate its removal. This is called neoadjuvant treatment.
Chemotherapy
Highly effective treatment that is widely used before and after surgery. In cases where the tumour cannot be removed, chemotherapy is the primary method for treating liposarcoma and successfully controls the growth of malignant cells and the spread of the disease. The chemotherapy treatment uses the latest generation of drugs that have high anti-cancer activity and a minimal set of side effects.
Targeted and Immunotherapy
These innovative techniques open up prospects for effective treatment of recurrent forms of the disease with minimal side effects. Timely treatment of sarcoma by highly qualified oncologists at Ichilov ensures the best results and restores hope for recovery.
Accurate Diagnosis in 3 Days
At Ichilov, all necessary diagnostic procedures are conducted within three to four working days, allowing doctors to obtain the necessary data about the disease and the patient's condition and begin treatment as soon as possible.
First Day
Upon arrival at the clinic, the patient meets with the attending physician. The specialist conducts an examination, reviews the patient's medical history, learns about the specific symptoms causing concern, performs a physical examination, and based on the information obtained, prescribes additional tests to clarify the diagnosis.
Second Day
- On the second day of the patient's stay at Ichilov, all necessary diagnostic procedures are performed to determine the presence, type, and stage of the disease. Among the widely used diagnostic methods for liposarcoma in Israel, the following types of studies should be noted.
- X-ray and visual diagnostic methods, including radiological studies using contrast agents, ultrasound, CT, PET-CT, MRI, and bone isotope scanning.
- Endoscopic diagnosis of hollow organs, using fiber-optic studies of the abdominal cavity (with the possibility of diagnostic laparoscopic biopsy) has significant diagnostic importance.
- Biopsy allows for an accurate definitive diagnosis.
Third Day
When the examination results are ready, the attending physician gathers a consultation consisting of specialized experts who will be involved in the patient's treatment. The medical team collectively reviews the medical case and selects the most appropriate treatment plan, clarifying the possible prognosis. The patient may attend this discussion and ask questions. Usually, at this stage, the attending physician can orient the patient regarding the total cost of treatment, as it becomes clear what expenses will be required after the treatment plan is chosen.
