THE ONCOLOGY CENTRE OF THE CHAIM Sheba CLINIC IN ISRAEL
The Sheba Clinic's oncology department is one of the most developed in Israel. It provides all conditions for effective treatment of cancer as well as psychological, social and palliative care. The hospital uses modern equipment, including SRS stereotactic devices, IMRT linear accelerators, cone-beam CT, etc.
The Sheba Clinic treats up to 40,000 cancer patients annually, of whom 2,000 receive radiotherapy and 300 receive brachytherapy.
To achieve the best results in treating cancer, doctors follow three rules:
Complex treatment. According to recent research, a combination of several methods significantly improves the effectiveness of cancer therapy. At the Sheba Clinic, doctors use minimally invasive surgery, radiotherapy, brachytherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy to treat cancer. They apply for the latest equipment and quality medicines with minimal side effects.
Personalised treatment. The treatment scheme for each patient is selected strictly individually and every detail is taken into account: the type and location of the tumour, the stage of the disease, the age and general condition of the patient. For example, to select the right drug for medication therapy, specialists preliminarily examine pathological cells for sensitivity to certain medications.
The feelings of the patient are above all. Oncological diseases are not only a physical ailment but also a psychological trauma, which the specialists at the Sheba Clinic help to cope with. Treatment with sympathy and care motivates the patient, which has a positive impact on treatment results.
Doctors pay a lot of attention to preventing disease development. Laboratories perform genetic testing of children and adults for mutations that are common in people with breast tumours or prostate cancer. Since 1995, doctors have performed over 190,000 such procedures.
The Sheba Clinic also has the largest hemato-oncology department in Israel and the only children's hospice in the country. Every year the department takes in more than 1,200 children with blood cancer and adults with rare forms of paediatric cancer. The centre treats patients with autoimmune diseases, blood disorders, metabolic diseases and bone marrow disorders.
In 2013, Angelina Jolie underwent genetic testing and found that she had an 87% risk of breast cancer - a disease that took away her mother. To prevent the disease, the actress decided to undergo a bilateral mastectomy. Doctors from all over the world have noted that twice as many women have since started visiting annual check-ups and doing genetic testing. Following Angelina's example, thousands of women have saved themselves from this terrible disease.
Every year the Safra Clinic provides 25 bone marrow transplants for children. The department is equipped with 4 wards with HEPA filters, where the patient needs to stay after the BMT procedure. The Sheba Clinic cooperates with the International Bone Marrow Transplantation Registry (IBMTR) and the European Blood and Marrow Transplantation Group (EBMT).
In 2019, the Sheba Clinic performed a unique stem cell transplant operation on a child with Fanconi anaemia. Another child, who was born as a result of IVF, was able to become a donor thanks to preimplantation genetic diagnosis. It allowed doctors to choose an embryo without genetic diseases, whose blood composition is compatible with the recipient - the baby with the anaemia. When the child was born, doctors performed a stem cell transplant. The operation was successful for both kids.

The Meirav Breast Cancer Centre receives the largest number of cancer patients in Israel in a year - around 4,000. The doctors use advanced diagnostic techniques such as sentinel lymph node biopsy. This technique, developed by doctors at the Sheba Clinic, is less traumatic and shortens the recovery period.
The breast cancer treatment programme is individual and includes both traditional methods - surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy - and innovative ones. Tumour removal with focused ultrasound is performed there. This is a non-invasive cancer treatment method, i.e. one that does not require incisions.
In the case of mastectomy, a unique procedure is possible, during which the doctor reconstructs the breast with a sample of tissue from the patient's abdomen. This method gives more natural results than silicone implants.
The Cancer Research Centre at the Sheba Clinic is the largest cancer research facility in Israel. It creates and tests anticancer drugs, and also tests the latest treatment protocols.
In 2011, the Sheba Clinic's Cancer Research Centre signed a partnership agreement with the world's leading Anderson University Cancer Centre, taking over the expertise of its specialists, medical development, innovation and technology. Since 2005, the Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas, with which the Sheba Clinic collaborates, has been ranked first in the "Best Clinics in the United States" category for diagnosis and therapy of oncology by U.S. News&World Report. Active cooperation between the world's leading clinics continues in 2020.

The essence of the procedure is to artificially lower the body temperature of a patient who is in critical condition, which protects the brain from damage.
At the Invasive Cardiology Department, experienced cardiac surgeons perform angiography, catheterisation of the heart, stenting and other surgical methods to treat cardiac diseases. Over 3,000 catheterisations are performed at the Sheba Clinic during the year. The department provides professional assistance to patients with an artificial or transplanted heart.
