Oncology clinics in Israel

The advantages of diagnosing and treatment of cancer in Israel

About 25% of foreign patients come to Israel with an incorrectly established clinical diagnosis. It is also known that 30% of histological reports from the CIS countries in Israel are assigned a different or more complete diagnosis. Therefore, after undergoing diagnostics in an Israeli clinic, patients from the CIS receive confidence in the accuracy of the diagnosis and are determined with the best treatment plan, even if they plan to undergo therapy in another country.

Benefits of diagnostics in Israel

In addition to the accuracy of diagnostics, Israeli clinics make it possible to undergo the necessary procedures quickly (a complex of diagnostic examinations usually takes 1-3 days, never more than a week) and painlessly.

The most important component of establishing a diagnosis in Israel is working with cytological and histological material. For this, there is a detailed standard with a list of mandatory tests for receptors, mutations and qualitative reactions. Doctors-histologists specialize in specific areas of histology.

In the diagnosis of common stages of oncological diseases, there is the creation of a genetic profile of the tumor with lists of drugs to which the tumor will potentially give a good clinical response and those to which it is insensitive.

Unique methods of cancer diagnostics in Israel

Israel is a country with the fastest patenting system in the world and the introduction of diagnostic and therapeutic methods into medical practice. Therefore, in hospitals of this country, you can undergo examinations using methods that are only included in world practice.

Artificial intelligence

For control, the results of the examination of dermatoscopic and CT images are checked using artificial intelligence. In a situation where there are discrepancies between the opinion of the doctor and the decision of the information system, further diagnostics are submitted to the consultation. The accuracy of artificial intelligence in medicine has been improved with the help of the Nuclei system, an Israeli development that has no analogues in the world.

CellDetect technology

It is used to diagnose prostate cancer. With its help, the accuracy of the diagnosis of prostate cancer is 93,1%, and only a urine sample is needed to make a diagnosis.

CellSearch technology

CellSearch is an advanced fluid biopsy technology in which the patient donates venous blood for analysis. In this blood, laboratory doctors can isolate circulating tumor cells and determine the presence of distant metastases in cases where cancer cells are not yet available for imaging on CT or MRI.

Cancer treatment in Israel

Cancer treatment in Israel is more successful than in most other countries of the world due to many factors:

• Doctors work according to the most modern medical protocols;
• Clinical decisions are made in consultation;
• The latest technical equipment is used.

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy is not limited to a standard linear accelerator. The following technologies are available in Israeli clinics:

• IGRT is an image guided radiation therapy. This method takes into account the position of the irradiated area relative to other structures, the marking is corrected after each session.
• IORT – Intraoperative Radiation Therapy. It allows the tumor and resection margins to be irradiated with high doses of radiation therapy.
• NOVALIIS is a modern device for radiation therapy of tumors of the central nervous system. This is an analogue of the Gamma Knife.
• SBRT – external beam radiation therapy, which allows doctors to reach the maximum dose of radiation and remove some types of formations without surgery.

Synthetic cells

In 2018, Israeli scientists synthesized for the first time synthetic cells capable of producing anti-cancer proteins. These cells are artificially placed in the patient’s tissue, and the necessary antibodies are constantly produced in them.

 Nanotherapy

In 2020, the last phase of research on therapy using nanomedicine against pancreatic cancer was completed. There are few treatment options for this type of cancer. Therefore, the alternative method of treatment provides unique additional opportunities for patients.
