Colon Cancer Treatment in Israel: Innovative Methods

Based on diagnostic results, the attending physician decides on the method of colon cancer treatment. Among these methods:

Conservative Treatment

• Pharmacology. The most modern medications are used at Top Ichilov to relieve disease symptoms.
• Radiotherapy. Used to reduce tumor size, it can be applied as a standalone or adjunct treatment method.
• Chemotherapy. Administered post-surgery to prevent recurrences or as palliative treatment (improving quality of life). Top Ichilov performs advanced HIPEC procedures.

Surgical Removal of the Intestinal Tumor

The indication for surgery is a localized tumor that has not spread beyond the intestine or has only affected the intestinal lymph nodes. Depending on the tumor's location, the surgeon employs one of the colectomy techniques; however, all types of surgeries performed at Top Ichilov aim to maximize the preservation of healthy tissue. Any colectomy surgery is accompanied by lymph node revision and is performed without the creation of a colostomy. If possible, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery is used through small incisions, which reduces and eases rehabilitation and lowers the risk of complications.

In rare cases, the Da Vinci robotic system is used, allowing for the precise removal of the tumor and lymph nodes.

After discharge from the hospital, the patient must remain in Israel for another 10 days: during this time, they will be monitored by the attending physician and can fly home after the stitches are removed.

Accurate and Early Diagnosis of Colon Cancer at Top Ichilov

Colon cancer treatment in Israel, at the Top Ichilov clinic, begins with the patient undergoing a basic diagnostic examination, allowing for high precision in determining the tumor's location, the presence of distant metastases, the stage, and severity of the disease. The basic program includes the following studies:

• Comprehensive laboratory tests using tumor markers;
• Colonoscopy with biopsy and subsequent urgent histopathological analysis of the collected material;
• PET-CT. A modern method for visualizing internal organs. Informative, safe, and often only available in the best clinics worldwide;
• Consultation with a colorectal surgeon.

In addition to basic studies, the physician may prescribe additional tests and consultations for the patient. The diagnostic program for suspected colon cancer conducted at the Top Ichilov clinic will be optimal in terms of timing and will lead to an accurate diagnosis.
