Cancer of tonsils in children: diagnosis and methods of therapy
Tumours of the tonsils account for more than half of all malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity. In young patients, the disease is detected quite easily - it can be detected during examination by a doctor or by palpation. Tumour cells are formed from lymphoid tissue, do not have clear boundaries and quickly metastasize. Most often the process affects only one side.
Israeli medical centres specialise in the treatment of tonsil cancer in children, using modern methods and technologies. Experienced specialists help to achieve high efficiency, increasing the percentage of recovery.
How is the disease diagnosed?
In the initial stages, oncology can be asymptomatic. As it progresses, there are:
- discomfort when swallowing;
- difficulty speaking;
- tumour masses that can be felt.
To make an accurate diagnosis, a comprehensive examination is carried out, including:
- examination and collection of anamnesis;
- blood tests, including oncomarkers;
- ultrasound diagnostics, MRI, CT scan;
- biopsy with subsequent tissue examination;
- PET-CT (to detect metastases).
After receiving the results, specialists make a personalised plan.
Methods of treatment of the disease
Leading Israeli clinics offer a comprehensive approach, which includes:
- Minor invasive surgeries - removal of the tumour and affected lymph nodes using robotic technology.
- Targeted method - targeted action on malignant cells without affecting healthy tissues.
- Radiation - irradiation of the tumour to stop its growth.
- Chemopreparations - the use of drugs to fight metastases.
- Drug treatment - stabilisation of the patient's condition with the help of special drugs.
The cost of treatment of tonsil cancer in children in Israel depends on the stage of the disease, the need for surgery, the type of diagnostic procedures, the length of stay in the hospital.
