Enchondroma
Enchondroma is a benign neoplasm that forms from cartilaginous tissue in the zones of tubular bones. The disease is asymptomatic in the early stages. When neglected, it can lead to deformation of a part of the limb or develop into a malignant form (it is extremely rare).
Israeli clinics offer the most productive methods of treating such a complex disease as enchondroma, which, as a rule, lead to a complete recovery of the patient and his return to his former life. Also of great importance is the high reliability of the diagnosis, which makes it possible to make a 100% correct diagnosis. A significant advantage is the affordable cost of services in medical institutions in Israel. Prices here, as a rule, are an order of magnitude lower than those contained in the price lists of clinics in other developed countries of the world.
Rapid diagnostics in Israeli clinics
Fast and accurate diagnostics of an enchondroma is an important step towards a speedy recovery. With the help of progressive types of diagnostics, the duration of which does not exceed 2-3 days, doctors are able to determine the exact type of enchondroma, its location, and the area of distribution. For this, in addition to examining the patient, such examinations are prescribed as:
- blood test;
- CT, MRI;
- biopsy (if there is a suspicion of malignancy of the neoplasm);
- radiography;
- scintigraphy.
Based on the data obtained, medical specialists choose the most optimal treatment program for enchondroma. The patient can find out the prices of diagnostic procedures in advance by contacting one or another clinic online. The total cost of diagnostic services depends on the type of procedures.
Effective therapy of enchondroma in Israeli clinics
Tactics of enchondroma therapy largely depends on the location of the tumor, but the advantage lies with the most effective method - removal of the neoplasm. Doctors determine one of the most rational, in one way or another, ways to eliminate an enchondroma:
- by curettage - a minimally invasive method used in relation to small tumors;
- using ultra-low temperatures - treatment of the affected areas with liquid nitrogen, from which tumor cells die. Defects after removal are masked with a biomaterial taken from the patient himself;
- with partial removal of the bone - it is used if the enchondroma is large. In this case, sparing organ-preserving surgery is used.
With the timely complete removal of the enchondroma in Israeli clinics, complete recovery of the patient is usually observed. Relapses are very rare, but their risk lies in the possible malignancy of the neoplasm, and in this case, we will talk about the treatment of a malignant tumor. To prevent such an outcome in Israeli clinics for the treatment of enchondromas, radio and chemotherapy using new generation drugs with a reduced toxic effect is actively used.
Prices for the treatment of enchondroma in Israeli clinics are determined by which protocol of therapeutic measures will be chosen by the council doctors. Also, the cost is influenced by the fact whether the reconstruction of bone tissues will be needed, as well as the duration of the rehabilitation period and the length of the patient's stay in a medical institution. It should be noted that the prices of services of Israeli clinics are controlled by the state and are 30-50 percent lower than in similar centers in the USA or Germany.
