Appendix Cancer: Treatment in Israel at Ichilov (Sourasky) Clinic

Appendix cancer treatment at the Ichilov (Sourasky) Medical Center is performed by excellent surgeons, the best specialists in Israel. Tumors in the appendix are surgically removed along with the appendix.

Treatment methods:

• Appendectomy. In the absence of distant metastases, an appendectomy — removal of the appendix — may be performed. This operation is considered quite effective in some countries, but the doctors at the Ichilov (Sourasky) clinic, based on their extensive experience, know that cancer cells may remain in the appendix stump, which can lead to tumor recurrence. Therefore, Israeli clinics prefer a more radical and, accordingly, effective treatment;
• Right Hemicolectomy. This surgical intervention involves the removal of the right half of the colon (cecum, ascending colon, right flexure, and right third of the transverse colon) with resection of the terminal ileum. This operation for appendix cancer is considered highly effective and helps to avoid future recurrences of the disease;
• Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are indicated in the presence of distant metastases in the patient.

The cost of appendix cancer treatment depends on the extent of surgical intervention.

Appendix Cancer: Diagnosis in Israel

Diagnosing appendix cancer is quite complex, as patients with this disease often seek medical attention for acute appendicitis and are on the operating table just a few hours later. However, at the Ichilov (Sourasky) clinic, patient examinations are approached very responsibly, and patients suspected of having appendix cancer undergo a series of tests:

• CT;
• Ultrasound;
• MRI;
• Histological and cytological studies;
• PET-CT;
• Laparoscopy;
• Consultation and examination by a specialist.

Depending on the patient's overall condition and the severity stage of the disease, the basic examination program may vary.
