Israel is a country of outstanding medical achievements. Israeli oncology centers and clinics have modern equipment, and the treatment of intestinal cancer in Israel is highly effective.
Colon cancer is the most common cancer, but it is highly treatable, especially in the early stages.
More than half of all cases of oncological tumors of the digestive tract are bowel cancer, but timely surgical intervention in most cases allows you to completely get rid of the disease.
In bowel cancer, time is the main enemy; the sooner the right decision is made and treatment begins, the greater the patient’s chances of recovery.
Colon cancer treatment methods in Israel
Treatment of bowel cancer in Israel is carried out using various methods. The course of treatment is selected by the doctor individually, depending on the general condition of the patient, the stage of the disease, the type of tumor, etc.
The main treatment methods include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.
During surgery, the surgeon removes precancerous changes in the intestine, cancerous tumors, or diseased areas of the intestine. Sometimes the surgery is performed using an endoscope, which does not require superficial skin incisions.
During chemotherapy, Israeli doctors use the latest developments of specialists, which are highly effective and have a minimum of side effects.
In recent years, targeted treatment has become popular among oncologists in Israel, in which chemotherapy drugs act only on cancer cells without affecting healthy ones.
Radiotherapy uses the latest methods, such as brachytherapy (radiation directly to the tumor without damaging adjacent tissue).
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy may also be prescribed, in which the radiation dosage can be calculated depending on the size, type, and location of the tumor.
In cases of bowel cancer that is detected in the early stages, the percentage of patients cured after surgery is quite high, and further treatment is usually not required.
