Treatment Methods for Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia in Israel
Chemotherapy. Well-structured chemotherapy allows for significant therapeutic effects to be achieved in a short time without causing irreparable harm to the patient's body. Before starting treatment, the patient undergoes a complete diagnostic evaluation, which includes various blood tests and studies of abnormal cells identified in it. Thanks to these studies, doctors accurately determine the specific subtype of mutated cells and assess their sensitivity to various drugs. The therapy includes combinations of those drugs to which the abnormal cells have shown the highest sensitivity. Doctors can regulate the intensity of chemotherapy side effects by carefully selecting drug dosages and prescribing supportive medication. Chemotherapy allows for rapid improvement in the patient's condition and achieving a stable remission of the disease, which, with proper supportive therapy, will lead to the complete recovery of the patient.
Bone Marrow Transplantation. The transplantation of healthy stem cells that will restore normal hematopoietic processes in the body is the most effective treatment method. Before the transplantation begins, doctors conduct intensive chemotherapy to completely cleanse the patient's body of abnormal cells. As a result of aggressive chemotherapy, the patient's immune system no longer performs its protective functions, making them vulnerable to all strains of infections and viruses. For the patient's safety, they are placed in a specially prepared sterile room, where they will stay for several weeks needed for immune recovery. The procedure for bone marrow transplantation is similar to a blood transfusion – the donor material is infused into the patient intravenously.
Diagnostics of Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia in Israel
Day One – Doctor Consultation
During the consultation, the doctor conducts a physical examination of the patient, collects the medical history of the disease by asking the patient questions about the course of the illness and its symptoms, and reviews all provided medical documentation. The results of diagnostics previously conducted at another clinic are sent for review to confirm their accuracy. According to statistics, nearly 40% of diagnoses made in clinics in the CIS countries turn out to be false.
At the final stage of the consultation, the doctor issues referrals for the necessary diagnostic studies.
Day Two – Diagnostics
- Comprehensive blood tests, including histochemical, cytomorphological, and genetic studies.
- Bone marrow biopsy to identify the mutation gene and determine the stage of disease progression.
- Lumbar puncture.
- Bone scintigraphy helps identify damage to the bone tissue.
- PET-MRI – to detect tumours and metastases.
- CT.
- MRI.
- Bone marrow biopsy.
Day Three – Treatment Protocol
To develop the therapy protocol at Top Ichilov, a special commission of doctors is created, consisting of leading hematologists, oncologists, and surgeons from the hospital. The commission develops an individualized treatment plan for each patient, taking into account all criteria – the physiological characteristics of the patient and the specifics of the disease's progression. Thanks to this approach, doctors successfully implement therapy for both adult patients and treatment of myeloblastic leukemia in children in Israel. The patient has the right to be present during the diagnosis and formation of the treatment plan. Thus, the work of the doctors is as transparent as possible. The patient understands why certain procedures or studies are prescribed to them.
Cost of Treatment for Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia in Israel
The cost of medical services in Israel is approximately 40-50% lower than in clinics in Germany and the USA. The exact price for the treatment of acute myeloblastic leukemia in Israel can only be calculated after the patient has undergone diagnostics and a necessary therapy plan has been selected for them.
