Human skin is more susceptible than other organs to the negative influence of environmental factors, especially exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Recently, due to worsening ecology and the depletion of the ozone layer, the impact of harmful ultraviolet rays has increased, leading to a rise in the incidence of cancer affecting our shield – the skin.
Skin cancer is currently one of the most common oncological diseases in humans. Doctors and scientists worldwide are diligently working on inventing new and more effective methods to combat this type of cancer. Leading in this area are oncologists in Israel, specifically the doctors at Top Ihilov clinic. They have access to new equipment, progressive techniques, and modern approaches to treating skin tumours. The removal of skin tumours in Israel today is performed using only gentle surgical techniques with subsequent plastic surgery and reconstruction of the skin.
Gentle Removal of Skin Tumours at Top Ihilov
Skin tumours can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumours should be removed due to the risk of them transforming into cancerous ones. At Top Ihilov, several progressive techniques are used for the removal of skin tumours, which are the least invasive for the body and aimed exclusively at the neoplasm.
- Laser Surgery – targeted exposure to the formation with a beam of laser radiation. Under the influence of the laser, the cells and tissues of the tumour simply evaporate.
- Electrocoagulation involves burning the elements of the formation with a beam of high-frequency electric current. Like the previous method, electrocoagulation is characterized by the absence of postoperative scars and blood loss, as both the laser and the current coagulate the subcutaneous vessels, as well as providing precise effects on the affected tissues.
- Cryotherapy – this involves freezing skin neoplasms using liquid nitrogen. The procedure is painless, highly effective – it promotes the rapid death of tumour cells and tissues. Additionally, it does not require rehabilitation.
- Radio Surgery – exposure to the formation with high-frequency radio waves. The result of the procedure is the evaporation of the cells of the neoplasm.
- Mohs Surgery. This unique proprietary technique was developed by American physician Frederick Mohs back in 1978, which has proven its effectiveness and is now actively used by doctors at Top Ihilov for treating cancerous skin tumours, particularly melanoma and basal cell carcinoma. The method consists of layer-by-layer removal of the formation with microscopic examination of each layer during the operation for the presence/absence of cancer cells. The surgical intervention continues until the surgeon obtains a layer of skin free from pathological inclusions. To perform such an operation, one must have exceptional knowledge and vast experience, as well as special equipment. All of this is available to the doctors at Top Ihilov clinic.
Diagnostic Examination Before Tumour Removal
Before the removal of a skin tumour in Israel, the patient must undergo precise diagnostics, during which doctors clarify the size, location, and nature of the formation and select the most effective method to combat the pathology.
- Laboratory tests.
- Dermatoscopy – examination of the tumour using a dermatoscope, an instrument equipped with a microscope with high magnification.
- Cytological examination of biomaterials obtained through biopsy or PCR methods.
- Biopsy.
- PET-CT and PET-MRI – for skin cancer.
Removal of Skin Tumours in Israel – Prices
Global prices for modern progressive surgeries can sometimes be astonishingly high, especially in European countries and the USA. Israel remains a country where the prices for medical services have long been maintained at a level acceptable for many patients. Thus, the removal of skin tumours in Israel, the cost of which is unjustifiably inflated worldwide, is 35% cheaper at Top Ihilov compared to clinics in Germany and 50% cheaper than medical centers in America.
Exact prices can only be known after the diagnostic examination. However, a consultant at the clinic can provide you with an approximate cost. Fill out the application – and receive comprehensive answers to all your questions for free.
