Oncological Surgery in Israel: Advanced treatment methods

At the Ichilov Medical Center, both traditional and innovative surgical technologies are widely used.

Among the most in-demand methods are:

• Classical Surgery – Radical excision of the tumor along with affected tissues and lymph nodes. Suitable for treating cancers of the stomach, intestines, liver, breast, and other organs.

• Minimally Invasive Procedures – Laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques allow interventions through small incisions, speeding up recovery.

• Robotic Surgery – Surgical systems like Da Vinci provide high precision, minimizing damage to healthy tissues.

• Regional Chemotherapy (RCT) – A localized chemotherapy method used when standard treatments are ineffective.

• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – The destruction of cancer cells using high-frequency radio waves, particularly effective in treating liver cancer.

Cancer surgery in Israel is recommended for various oncological conditions, including:

• Tumors of the stomach and esophagus

• Colon and liver cancer

• Soft tissue and spinal sarcomas

• Breast cancer

• Neoplasms of the adrenal glands and pancreas

In many cases, surgical intervention is combined with other treatment methods—radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy—which significantly increases the chances of complete recovery.

At the Ichilov Oncology Department, a team of experienced oncological surgeons specializes in complex clinical cases. Each patient undergoes a comprehensive examination, and the treatment plan is tailored individually, considering the specific characteristics of the disease.

After surgery, specialists continue to monitor the patient, ensuring proper recovery and preventing recurrences. In challenging cases, patients may have the opportunity to participate in innovative clinical trials offering new treatment methods.
