Treatment of the thyroid gland in Israel

Successful treatment of thyroid gland in Israel is the result of professional activity of leading specialists of medical centers of the country. These specialists are recognized as one of the best in the world.

By the way, the survival rate of patients with thyroid cancer after treatment in Israel reaches 96%, which is quite a serious indicator. In addition, the diagnosis of oncology shchitovidki more than 30% of cases in general can not be confirmed. Therefore, patients from all over the world seek to get treatment for Israeli professors who successfully solve various problems of the endocrine system.

Methods of Treating the Thyroid Gland in Israel

It is usually three to four days for the patient to be examined at an Israeli clinic. First of all, they conduct an external examination of the patient, ask him about the state of health and the course of the illness. If the patient brought with him any samples for analysis, they are transferred to the laboratory technicians.

Further, a number of additional studies are prescribed. Among them:

• clinical and biochemical blood test;
• ultrasound diagnosis of the thyroid gland;
• method of isotope scanning using radioactive iodine;
• method of positron emission tomography;
• examination of urine.

You may need a consultation of specialized specialists: an endocrinologist, a surgeon, an oncologist-radiologist.

Depending on the presumptive diagnosis, the patient may be asked to conduct a blood test to identify genes that trigger oncological pathology. The positive result of this study suggests that the patient's direct relatives have a risk of malignant degeneration of thyroid cells. When this gene is found, it is most likely that the iron will have to be removed, since the risk of malignancy is extremely high.

However, as we said above, often the diagnosis, put in the domestic clinics, can not be confirmed. This happens when a benign new tumor is taken for malignancy, when the type of malignant cells is characterized incorrectly, and also for erroneous analyzes taken from another patient (unfortunately, this also happens).

In Israel, specialists are not inclined to adhere to any one generally accepted treatment regimen, as is usually the case in Russian clinics. Israeli doctors use combinations of schemes, exchange experiences and therapeutic techniques with each other to determine the most successful protocol for a particular patient.

Of the surgical operations performed in Israeli clinics, the most common are the following:

• partial removal of thyroid gland (removal of only the affected part with preservation of healthy tissues). Possible simultaneous removal of affected lymph nodes;
• complete removal of thyroid gland and affected lymph nodes with subsequent administration of hormone replacement therapy.

Other additional therapeutic procedures may also be used:

• IMRT - a method of radiotherapy that allows to irradiate a tumor without affecting healthy cells;
• the use of radioactive iodine allows it to accumulate in the tissues of the thyroid, thereby destroying cancer cells;
• the method of irradiation with an external radiator is used for anaplastic oncology of the thyroid gland. This method is often used to kill individual malignant cells that could remain after surgical treatment, or to irradiate metastatic cells;
• drug therapy with hormonal drugs allows you to slow the growth of degenerated cells and prevent the re-development of the disease, as well as maintain a stable hormone level in the body;
• The chemotherapeutic method is used together with irradiation as therapeutic procedures for anaplastic oncology of the thyroid gland.
