CANCER TREATMENT IN THE ISRAELI CLINIC ASSUTA

Hospital Assuta use advanced diagnostic methods for the detection of malignant tumors - CT, MRI, PET. These allow them to detect the exact localization of the tumor, determine its shape, size, relation to surrounding organs and the speed of its development. To diagnose a brain tumor, the clinic's specialists also resort to a biopsy (stereotactic), which makes it possible to examine the tumor tissue for the presence and type cancer cells. A biopsy for brain tumor is performed during surgery or using a minimally invasive method that involves taking a sample of the tumor through a small hole in the skull.

Experts prescribe chemotherapy drugs to patients orally or inject intravenously. The most common drug for the treatment of brain cancer are Temodar tablets (Temozolomide). To remove malignant tumors of the pancreas and liver metastases, the doctors of the Assuta clinic can also use a nano-knife procedure. This technology is also used to remove tumors in the liver, lungs, kidneys, pancreas and prostate glands. Surgery using a nano-knife is ideal for inoperable patients, as it eliminates incisions and minimally affects healthy tissues and organs. NanoKnife destroys cancer cells using electrical currents. The procedure reduces the likelihood of postoperative complications to a minimum, provides a quick recovery period and the chance of repeating the operation in the event of the appearance of new malignant tumors.
