- Endoscopic examination methods of the esophagus, stomach, etc.

Methods of Treating Gastrointestinal Tumours in Israel
Treatment of gastrointestinal tumours at the Top Ihilov clinic is conducted taking into account the stage. Therapy for the disease at early stages of development (the tumour has not yet invaded adjacent tissues, has not metastasized) is carried out (if possible) using gentle minimally invasive methods with modern endoscopic equipment and robotics:
- Radiation therapy. At the Top Ihilov clinic, innovative RapidArc® technology is used in radiotherapy, which provides powerful, highly targeted radiation exposure to the tumour and minimal irradiation of healthy tissues;
- Radiosurgery. Tumours localized within healthy tissues can be completely removed using stereotactic intervention (CyberKnife, Gamma Knife) — a non-invasive, bloodless method based on destroying the neoplasm with a beam of ionizing radiation.
- Radical removal of the tumour. Surgeons remove the neoplasm, capturing part of the healthy tissues, with access to the tumour being either open or laparoscopic (surgical intervention is performed through small incisions/punctures);

Early Diagnosis of Tumour Diseases of the Gastrointestinal Organs at Top Ihilov
Gastrointestinal tumour diseases (esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, various sections of the intestine, liver, etc.) are the second most common cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. However, it turns out that gastrointestinal cancer can be cured if early and informative diagnosis is conducted and treatment is started immediately.
By contacting the Top Ihilov clinic, you can expect that your examination will be quick and maximally informative. Oncological diseases of the gastrointestinal organs are treatable; the most important thing is not to let the tumour process progress and to start therapy without waiting for the neoplasm to invade and for metastases to appear.
The clinic is equipped with the most modern equipment, allowing for such high-precision types of examinations:
- Endoscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract: esophagogastroduodenoscopy - examination of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Colonoscopy, including virtual (examination of the colon and rectum);
- Ultrasound, CT/MRI of the liver and pancreas;
- Biopsy with subsequent histopathology.
All endoscopic examinations at Top Ihilov are performed using modern video endoscopes and a virtual chromoscopy system, allowing for the detection of neoplasms even if they are not visually identifiable.
The effectiveness of treating gastrointestinal tumours at early stages today exceeds 60%, so the doctors at the Top Ihilov clinic recommend everyone undergo regular screening examinations, which will allow for the detection of pathology at an early stage and a complete diagnosis of the digestive system organs.
