Treatment of Facial Tumors at the Top Ichilov Medical Center

The exact causes of malignant tumors on the human face are not fully known, but the provoking factors include: frequent exposure to harmful environments (working with chemicals, toxic substances), excessive sun exposure (sun, tanning beds), heredity, weakened immunity, removal of moles and pigmented spots outside medical facilities, and much more.

However, despite the challenges, specialists at Top Ichilov effectively and qualitatively treat facial cancer. The treatment processes involve specialists from various fields of medicine: oncologists, neurosurgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, ENT surgeons, radiologists, plastic surgeons, psychologists, and many others.

Advantages of the Top Ichilov Clinic

1. During surgeries, specialists use the most reliable and modern equipment: lasers, radio wave devices, computerized systems, tools for endoscopic surgeries, equipment for performing surgical interventions using gentle minimally invasive methods, etc.
2. The use of the latest technologies ensures patients the least traumatic intervention. Patients tolerate surgeries much easier, and the rehabilitation period is significantly shortened. In the postoperative period, pain syndrome is practically absent, and recurrences and complications are not observed.

Diagnostic Activities, Treatment of Facial Cancer at Our Center

The main goal of tumor treatment, regardless of their nature, is the removal of the formation. If the tumor is malignant, additional treatment is conducted; if the process is benign, the tumor is removed. Often, surgical intervention disrupts the aesthetics of the face, and in such cases, defect plastic surgery is performed simultaneously.

Before surgical intervention, patients undergo examinations using the most modern equipment.

• General and specialized blood tests.
• Fine-needle biopsy, scraping (with subsequent cytological or histological examination of the sample).
• MRI.
• CT.
• Positron emission tomography.
• Ultrasound.
• Nuclear magnetic resonance.

The best factor accompanying tumor treatment is their early diagnosis. The earlier the formation is diagnosed, the less intervention it requires. The Top Ichilov clinic rarely receives patients from abroad with tumors in the early stages; more often, people arrive with already advanced processes, likely due to insufficient medical facilities in hospitals at their place of residence.
