Blood cancer treatment at the Oncology Department of Ichilov Clinic is characterized by an individualized approach to each patient, the use of the latest equipment, and the involvement of top specialists. The clinic provides therapy for both adults and children, including in the Hemato-Oncology Department.
The main treatment methods include:
- Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is one of the key methods of fighting blood cancer. It is used to destroy abnormal cells and can be administered in various ways, including through the spinal fluid. Individual selection of medications and treatment regimens helps minimize side effects and achieve high effectiveness.
- Bone Marrow Transplantation
One of the most successful methods is bone marrow transplantation. It helps restore healthy blood cells after intensive therapy. At the Ichilov Oncology Hospital, both autologous transplantation (using the patient’s own cells) and allogeneic transplantation (using donor cells) are performed. After the procedure, patients undergo rehabilitation in sterile rooms with modern air purification systems. These types of surgeries are conducted in the Hematology Department
- Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy is the treatment of malignant cells using radioactive radiation. The Oncology Department at Ichilov is equipped with advanced linear accelerators that precisely direct the radiation to the affected areas, minimizing the impact on healthy tissues. This helps reduce the number of sessions and increase patient comfort.
- Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy is aimed specifically at cancer cells, without damaging healthy tissues. The use of specialized medications helps achieve long-term remission and minimize side effects.
- Biological Therapy
This involves the use of medications that stimulate the immune system to fight the tumor. These methods are especially relevant in the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma.
