Oncohematology in Israel
Oncology and hematology are closely related, since many oncological diseases occur as a result of malignant degeneration of blood cells or as a result of cell mutation in hematopoietic organs. At the junction of these two areas of medicine, a new direction has arisen - oncohematology, which, in fact, is engaged in the study of malignant diseases of the hematopoietic system.
If not so long ago, blood oncology was perceived by patients as a sentence, today doctors have at their disposal means that allow you to slow down the process of spreading malignant cells and achieve stable remission. Doctors from Israeli clinics are among the most successful in the segment of therapy for patients with oncohematology. Having access to the most modern medications, innovative methods of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, oncohematologists in this country annually perform hundreds of bone marrow transplants, treat lymphomas, leukemia and other types of oncology.
Patients from around the world want to get for treatment at an oncohematology clinic in Israel, because they are sure that they will be helped here. In addition, the prices for medical services in Tel Aviv compare favorably with the price offers of oncology clinics in Europe.
Hematology treatment in Israel
When developing a treatment plan, oncohematologists follow an individual approach - which method of therapy will be determined as the main one, and which ones will be used as auxiliary, depends on the type of cancer diagnosed, its stage, the patient's well-being.
For different diseases from the category of “oncohematology”, the symptoms may be similar. Therefore, before starting therapy, it is important to make a correct diagnosis. This can be done by an oncohematologist based on the results of the examination. For the most accurate diagnosis, oncological hematology in Israel uses an integrated approach:
- the patient's blood is studied for tumor markers, biochemistry, hormones;
- a bone marrow biopsy is taken, as well as tissue particles from the lymph nodes ;
- PET-CT is carried out, which allows you to see even the smallest clusters of mutated cells;
- Tests are performed to detect gene mutations.
For treatment diseases from the oncohematology group are used:
- chemotherapy - new generation drugs are administered through local injections, droppers, oral administration;
- radiotherapy - the newest equipment has increased power and is as safe as possible for healthy tissues;
- autologous bone marrow transplantation - before starting chemotherapy, the patient's bone marrow is taken, which is cleaned of toxic substances, and after a course of "chemistry" is injected into the patient's body, this modern technique increases the effectiveness of therapy ii by 90%;
- allogeneic transplantation - bone marrow transplantation from a donor with maximum biocompatibility, promotes the production of healthy blood cells;
- targeted therapy - modern medicines that act selectively only on mutated cells without affecting healthy ones.
The effectiveness of the methods used by oncohematology depends on many factors, including the stage of the disease at the time of the start of therapy. However, specialists from Israeli clinics manage to achieve excellent results in most patients.
