Treatment of leukemia at the Ichilov (Sourasky) clinic, Tel Aviv

Hematology-oncology, targeted therapy, CAR-T, and bone marrow transplantation

This section is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of leukemia at the state medical center Ichilov (Sourasky) in Tel Aviv — the largest hospital in Israel and one of the leading hematology-oncology centers in the Middle East. Here, all major forms of the disease are monitored and treated: acute lymphoblastic (ALL) and acute myeloid (AML) leukemias, chronic lymphocytic (CLL) and chronic myeloid (CML) leukemias, as well as rare and aggressive variants in children and adults.

The examination begins with a comprehensive blood analysis, aspiration and biopsy of the bone marrow, immunophenotyping by flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular diagnostics (FISH, PCR, NGS panels). Accurate determination of subtype and mutation profile allows for the selection of a protocol that complies with the international guidelines of NCCN and ELN, avoiding time wasted on ineffective regimens.

The clinic's arsenal includes modern polychemotherapy, targeted therapies (tyrosine kinase inhibitors for CML, BCL-2 and FLT3 inhibitors for AML, BTK inhibitors for CLL), monoclonal antibodies and bispecific antibodies (blinatumomab, inotuzumab), immunotherapy, as well as CAR-T cell therapy and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from related, unrelated, or haploidentical donors. The hematopoietic stem cell transplantation department at Ichilov is among the largest in the country and works closely with the international donor registry.

Treatment is managed by an interdisciplinary team: hematologist-oncologists, transplantologists, infection specialists, intensivists, pediatric oncologists, and psycho-oncologists. For international patients, the international department organizes consultations in Russian, second opinions on slides and images, hospitalization, and logistics. Below are articles and programs on the topic, as well as specialized doctors who can be consulted.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ: what to know about treatment at Ichilov (Sourasky)

Answers from the international department of the Ichilov (Sourasky) clinic — on timelines, documents, payment and language.

How long does diagnosis and treatment of leukemia at Ichilov (Sourasky) usually take?

The diagnostic block at Ichilov (Sourasky) takes 5–7 working days: histology review, PET-CT/MRI and a multidisciplinary Tumor Board. Time-to-treatment then depends on protocol: surgery with early rehabilitation takes 2–3 weeks; a full course of chemotherapy or targeted therapy — from 3 to 6 months, with part of the cycles continued as an outpatient or at the local hospital after discharge.

What language do doctors at Sourasky speak with international patients?

International patients are accompanied by an English-speaking medical coordinator of the Ichilov (Sourasky) international department at every step — from the first consultation to signing the informed consent. Some physicians speak Russian; the rest communicate in English or Hebrew with professional medical interpretation. Final discharge summaries are issued in English; a Russian translation is available on request.

Which documents should be sent before arrival at Ichilov?

The recommended package: latest discharge summaries and specialist reports; original histology blocks and slides (mandatory — they are re-reviewed by the Sourasky pathologist); recent CT / MRI / PET-CT discs in DICOM format (last 2–3 months); recent blood tests and tumor markers; a copy of the passport and insurance policy. Everything can be sent via a messenger or a secure form on the site — a coordinator will reply within one business day.

Is an upfront deposit required for treatment?

Yes, the international department at Ichilov works on a deposit model: first the diagnostic block is paid; after the Tumor Board — the agreed cost of surgery or of a therapy course. All payments are processed officially through the hospital cashier with invoices issued; any unused balance of the deposit is refunded.

Can I get a second opinion on my records without travelling to Tel Aviv?

Yes, the "second opinion" programme is a remote service: histology, imaging and clinical data are re-reviewed and a written report by a leading oncologist of the Sourasky Institute of Oncology is issued within 5–10 working days. A trip is not required — all documents are accepted electronically.

How is follow-up organised after returning home?

The patient receives a detailed follow-up plan: schedule of control CT/MRI scans, laboratory tests and physical exams, plus recommendations for supportive therapy. An English- or Russian-speaking coordinator stays in touch; telemedicine consultations with the treating Ichilov physician are available, and adjuvant therapy can be adjusted without a repeat trip to Tel Aviv.
