Treatment of stomach cancer at Ichilov (Sourasky) clinic, Tel Aviv

Oncogastroenterology, da Vinci robotic surgery, HIPEC, targeted therapy and immunotherapy

Stomach cancer is one of the most complex oncological diseases, where the treatment outcome directly depends on the accuracy of staging and the coordinated work of the surgeon, oncologist, and pathomorphologist. At the Ichilov (Sourasky) Medical Center in Tel Aviv, patients undergo the entire process within one clinic: from the initial gastroscopy with targeted biopsy and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to assess the depth of invasion — to PET-CT, determining the molecular profile of the tumor (HER2, MSI, PD-L1, Claudin 18.2), and selecting a personalized treatment plan at the Tumor Board.

The surgical stage at Ichilov is led by highly qualified oncogastroenterologists and surgeons. Depending on the location and depth of invasion, endoscopic resections of the mucosa and submucosa (EMR/ESD) are performed for early cancer, laparoscopic or robot-assisted (da Vinci) subtotal resection, and gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. In cases of peritoneal carcinomatosis, cytoreductive surgery with intraoperative hyperthermic chemotherapy (HIPEC) is applied, significantly improving the prognosis for certain patient categories.

Pharmacological treatment is based on international NCCN and ESMO protocols: perioperative chemotherapy according to the FLOT regimen, targeted therapy (trastuzumab for HER2-positive tumors), immunotherapy with PD-1 inhibitors — nivolumab, pembrolizumab — for MSI-high and high PD-L1 expression, as well as new drugs against Claudin 18.2. Patients with advanced disease have access to clinical trials at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center.

Below are materials from the subsection: detailed reviews of the treatment of adenocarcinoma and gastric lymphoma, articles on diagnostics (gastroscopy, complete gastric examination), as well as on precursor background conditions — polyps, erosions, and peptic ulcer disease. A separate section features specialized doctors at Ichilov, specializing in gastrointestinal oncology, and the "second opinion" program with a review of histology in the clinic's pathomorphological laboratory.

Breast cancer treatment in men in Israel is carried out by highly qualified doctors using progressive methods of anti-tumor therapy.

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 stomach cancer 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.
