Lung treatment in Israel. Treatment of bronchial adenoma in Israel: the safest and most effective

Lung surgery is a complex field that requires the highest qualifications of a doctor. Israeli surgeons have established themselves as world-class specialists, who are often invited for consultations on operations or to receive professional opinion doctors even from countries such as Germany, USA, Canada. Another advantage surgical treatment lung cancer in Israel is the application minimally invasive surgical techniques without opening the chest, through 2-3 incisions between the ribs. This significantly reduces the risk of complications and postoperative rehabilitation. Our doctors also know how to perform operations using liquid nitrogen, electricity, laser.

For the treatment of lung cancer with metastasis to late stages developed by specialists in Israel methods to improve the patient’s quality of life and extend its duration:

• Laser therapy. To relieve symptoms of lung cancer, such as shortness of breath due to tracheal obstruction, laser beam for maximum tumor cauterization
• Installation of pulmonary stents. Opens and enlarges interior space airways narrowed due to the spread of cancer in the lungs

The radiotherapy department at Assuta is one of the leading in the world, using the most advanced radiotherapy technologies such as IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) using TrueBeam- the most modern linear accelerator in the world. In some cases, precise radiation therapy is even used instead of surgical intervention. Precision radiotherapy in Israel

Selecting suitable and modern drugs allows you to reduce and sometimes destroy the tumor and prevent its spread. Chemotherapy is used as independent method treatment of lung cancer, or in combination with other techniques. Gentle chemotherapy in Israel

This method intended for patients with small tumors. Under general anesthesia and MRI control, a device is inserted into the lungs using bronchoscopy Cryoprobe, which freezes the tumor.

Unfavorable environmental situation in the world, development large quantity viruses, mass promotion of smoking - all this affects the rapid growth of many diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract (bronchi, trachea).

Lung diagnostics in Israel

Pulmonology departments in Israel are equipped with the latest and most modern equipment, which allows for the most accurate diagnosis of patients, which includes:

• X-ray methods- diffusion (carried out if emphysema or fibrosis of the pulmonary parenchyma is suspected), spirometry (to study bronchial asthma or COPD - chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), lung scanning (allows you to determine the state of blood flow and ventilation), from $70;
• Bronchoscopy- invasive examination of the bronchi and trachea, which is carried out under local anesthesia using an endoscope. It is carried out if there is a suspicion of the formation of a malignant tumor, tuberculosis or the presence foreign objects. Also used to eliminate foreign body from the body, with a lung abscess or bronchiectasis, from $4000;
• Biopsy- a painless procedure that is performed during bronchoscopy for further histological examination, from $1900;
• Computed tomography- it is used to monitor the treatment of lung diseases, measure breathing volume or analyze lung density, $620;
• Positron emission tomography- carried out to identify oncological diseases lungs and respiratory tract early stages their development or to monitor ongoing treatment, $1650;

Lung treatment in Israel

In the pulmonology departments the following is carried out:

• treatment of COPD and chronic bronchitis;
• , as well as bronchial asthma varying degrees severity (infectious-related, atypical);

   • In some cases, the material on the basis of which the diagnosis was made in the CIS countries is mistakenly taken from another patient.
   • The stage and extent of cancer has been incorrectly determined.
2. Use of PET-CT for diagnosing lung cancer. Positron emission tomography (PET) combined with computed tomography(KT), in Israel he is a private diagnostic procedure, used everywhere. With the help of PET-CT it is possible to recognize malignant tumor still at the stage of its formation. This method also allows you to detect metastases and determine their location.
3. Treatment based on genetic mutations. In Israel, lung cancer is tested for mutations in EGFR genes, KRAS , ALK . This allows you to select biological drugs that are effective against tumors. of this type. Biological treatment more effective and has fewer side effects than chemotherapy.
4. Individual approach to treatment. In the treatment of lung cancer Israeli doctor can deviate from one treatment protocol and combine several protocols, taking into account the characteristics of the patient and the course of the disease.

The most common types of operations in the treatment of lung cancer at the Top Ichilov Medical Center:

• Wedge resection— deleting a sector lung tissue with a tumor.
• Lobectomy - removal of a lobe of the lung affected by cancer.
• Segmentectomy or segmental resection- removal of the segment or part of the lobe in which the cancer is located.
• Pneumonectomy - removal of the entire lung.
• Resection of part of the bronchus.

In addition, they are often removed during surgery lymph nodes for further microscopic study. This will help doctors decide whether to further treatment after surgery.

Other types of surgical interventions

Sometimes surgery is necessary to correct problems caused by the lung cancer itself or complications of its treatment. In such cases the following may apply:

• Laser surgery, to open respiratory tract.
• Placement of intrabrachial stents, to keep the airways open.
• Cryosurgery to freeze and destroy cancerous tissue.
• Drainage placement to drain accumulated pleural fluid.

The treatment protocol for lung cancer often combines several methods - surgery and chemotherapy, surgery and radiation, and other combinations.

Chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be assigned:

• before surgery to reduce the size of the tumor;
• after surgery to destroy circulating cancer cells that may remain in the body.

Radiation therapy in the presence of a lung tumor

New methods radiation therapy and the skills of our doctors allow us to achieve maximum effect from cancer treatment, ensuring the concentration of rays in the tumor with the least damage to healthy cells.

Radiation therapy may be combined with chemotherapy and/or surgery.

The following methods are used to treat lung cancer in Israel:

• 3D conformal radiation therapy. Combination of several beams of radiation coming from different sources, significantly reduce the radiation load on surrounding tissues, creating maximum effect at the design point.
• Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The method of irradiation before which the simulation is carried out (drawing three-dimensional model tumors) and irradiation is carried out taking into account the specific shape of the tumor.

About 60 different chemotherapy drugs can be used for lung cancer. Their choice depends on the type of tumor, stage of the disease and other factors. The most commonly used drugs are cisplatin, docetaxel, gemcitabine, carboplatin, and vinorelbine.

At small cell cancer lung chemotherapy(in combination with radiotherapy) is used even in the early stages of the disease. In advanced stages of non-small cell lung cancer, chemotherapy is often the mainstay of treatment and significantly improves patient survival and quality of life.

At non-small cell cancer lungs, adjuvant chemotherapy is used after surgery to destroy tumor micrometastases. According to statistics, on Stages 2-3 cancer lung, such chemotherapy increases the 5-year survival rate of patients by 5%.

Neoadjuvant therapy applied before surgery. Its goal is to reduce the size of the tumor so that it is easier to remove.

Typically, the patient is prescribed a combination of several drugs, which are administered through a dropper or prescribed in tablet form. For lung cancer, intravenous drip administration of drugs is often performed. The drugs are administered in courses. After each course, a break is taken for 2-3 weeks to allow the patient’s body to recover. The dosage of drugs is selected individually for each patient.
