Cancer treatment methods in Israel
A comprehensive approach, commitment to the highest quality standards of medical services and the professionalism of oncologists are good reasons to choose Israeli clinics for cancer treatment.
Oncologists use the following basic methods of treating oncological diseases in Israel:
- Surgical. Robotic devices, neuronavigation systems and endoscopy are mainly used, which allows for the strictest adherence to important surgical principles – antiblastic and ablastic.
- Chemotherapy. Priority is given to the development of individual schemes for taking chemotherapeutic drugs and the use of consumables that minimize the effect of chemistry on organs (cooling gloves, helmets). Israeli oncologists prescribe chemotherapy in combination with other methods, which increases the overall effectiveness of treatment.
- Radiotherapy. The remote and contact method of radiation therapy is used.
- Radiosurgery. A sought-after method of therapy, where for objective reasons access to the center of the tumor is limited, for example, brain cancer. Clinics in Israel have a whole set of devices for radiosurgical treatment of benign and malignant tumors. They include:
