Cancer Treatment in Israel

Israeli medical centers such as Assuta, Sheba and Ichilov (Sourasky) have multifunctional departments that are well equipped to diagnose and treat various types of cancer. All centers are in possession of modern diagnostics technologies, such as PET-CT, MRI and CT scanners, medical ultrasound, etc. They also have access to groundbreaking tools (such as PET-MRI and 3D mammography) that may not be available elsewhere.

Israeli pathology laboratories guarantee speedy and accurate histopathological testing and immunochemistry results. Local laboratories conduct both traditional and innovative tests, developed by Israeli scientists and have equipment that can analyze a wide range of blood markers.

If surgical intervention is deemed necessary, a panel of leading oncologists (including oncologic surgeons) is called for consultation. That allows specialists to develop comprehensive treatment programs, best suited to the patient’s needs. Israeli hospitals have access to state-of-the-art technologies such as the Da Vinci Robot, NanoKnife and CyberKnife, and are qualified to offer cutting-edge treatments such as SIRT, brachytherapy and HIPEC.
