Treatment of Nasopharyngeal and Oropharyngeal Cancer in Israel

Professor Gideon BacharProfessor Gideon Bachar

Any oncological disease is very dangerous, and nasopharyngeal cancer or oropharyngeal cancer is no exception, as it can lead to serious cosmetic damage.

The word "cancer" in the diagnosis means that delays and inaccuracies in diagnosis and treatment must not occur; the patient will pay too high a price for them.

At the Top Ichilov Medical Center in Israel, delays and inaccuracies are simply excluded: you will be attended to by the most authoritative diagnosticians and surgeons in the world, true luminaries, who are well-versed in the most modern equipment. They will be assisted by highly qualified medical staff, attentive and error-free.

Nasopharyngeal Cancer

The main symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer are nasal and ear congestion, purulent bloody nasal discharge or bleeding, cervical lymphadenopathy, and facial nerve paralysis.

In the case of primary cancer, radiation therapy is used. If radiation does not yield positive results or in the presence of metastases in the cervical lymph nodes, surgical intervention is applied.

Oropharyngeal Cancer

The most common are squamous cell carcinomas of the tonsils. Their occurrence is generally associated with alcohol consumption and smoking. The main symptoms for patients are sore throat or difficulty swallowing. Oropharyngeal cancer is treated with surgical methods and radiation therapy.
