TREATMENT OF CANCER IN THE SOURASKY MEDICAL CENTER
The Israeli medical center Sourasky offer treatment in all types of cancers at different stages with the use of modern medicine. One of which is Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). This is an advanced method of radiotherapy, which is considered to be the safest for the patient's healthy cells and at the same time very effective in the fight against cancer.
Computer visualization of malignant formation is performed before radiotherapy and the irradiation process is modeled in order to accurately determine the size, shape, location of the tumor, and also to calculate the appropriate dose, intensity and direction of radiation. This allows maximum protection of healthy tissues and organs of the patient from radiation to achieve high results of treatment, since precisely focused radiation beams only affect the tumor.
Radiation therapy with modulated intensity minimizes the likelihood of side effects, complications and has a faster recovery period.
If there is need of an operation to treat cancer, specialists prefer using minimally invasive surgery, which allows the removal of tumors without incisions and sutures. Laparoscopic and endoscopic operations can reduce damage to tissues and organs, minimizing the likelihood of complications, and accelerate the process of rehabilitation. Minimally invasive surgery is not only a safe, but also an effective method of surgical treatment of cancerous diseases.
If an open operation is needed to perform, then specialists do their best to preserve the organ affected by the tumor.
Professor Moshe Inbar is the head of the oncology department of the Ichilov medical center, a leading Israeli oncologist with more than 45 years of experience. He helped over 5412 cancer patients, conducted 2822 successful sessions of radiotherapy and 1597 operations to remove the malignant breast tumor with preservation of the organ.
He also specializes in the treatment of breast cancer and clinical oncology. Moshe Inbar has developed a unique and effective complex treatment for breast cancer using innovative diagnostic procedures and individually selected drugs.
For effective scientific research and high achievements in the field of oncology, the doctor is an honorary member:
American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO);
European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO);
European Society of Specialists in Breast Cancer Treatment (EUSOMA);
The professor also heads groups of experts in the field of treatment of breast cancer of the Israeli Society of Clinical Oncology and Radiotherapy.
SAMMY OFER HEART CENTER OF ICHILOV TEL AVIV
Specialists of the department diagnose and treat all types of cardiovascular diseases of varying severity.
The Israeli medical center Sourasky conducts:
Replacement of the aortic valve by artificial: mechanical or biological (for patients with congenital or acquired heart disease);
Coronary stenting (intravascular prosthetics of the arteries of the heart with their constrictions and occlusion with special metal tubes - stents);
Stenting of carotid arteries (installation of a special thin stent in the narrowed segment of the carotid artery to prevent ischemic stroke);
Installation of permanent pacemakers (ECS) and defibrillators.
Every year more than 2500 coronary stentings are performed in the heart center of the Ichilov complex.
Clinic also conducts 95% of successful non-surgical aortic valve replacements through the artery in the leg (less often through the artery in the shoulder). This method of implantation is considered the safest, since it does not involve incisions, cardiac arrest, minimizes the likelihood of complications and speeds up the recovery process. The non-surgical replacement of the aortic valve is ideal for patients to whom open heart surgery is contraindicated.
The artificial valve is placed in a special tube with a diameter of 6 mm, inserted into the femoral artery by means of a catheter, and after couple of minutes the valve is delivered directly to the heart with blood flow. There, it opens and replaces the affected door.
Head of Cardiology Department at Sourasky Medical Center - Professor Gadi Keren, who is engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmia, heart failure, heart valve diseases for more than 35 years.
92% of Gadi Keren patients got rid of heart problems. 5213 of his patients were completely cured of arrhythmia.
Professor is also the author of more than 200 works in the field of cardiology and an honorary member of international organizations: the European Community of Cardiology (ESC); American College of Cardiology (ACC); American Association of Echocardiography (ASE).

Doctors conduct active scientific research in the field of pediatrics for the continuous improvement of methods for treating childhood diseases. The Dana Dwek clinic, for the first time in the country, introduced an innovative diagnostic imaging system EOS. This unique procedure allows to conduct the most safe and accurate diagnosis of diseases of the spine, bones and joints with minimal radiation load.
Irradiation of the patient during this diagnosis is 85% less in comparison with computed tomography and 50% lower than in radiography.
With the help of additional EOS programs, doctors of the Ichilov hospital have the opportunity to successfully replace hip and knee joints.
This program allow them to choose the most suitable implant for the anatomical features of the patient, based on the diagnostic data received and completely planning the operation to replace the knee or hip joint.
To get rid of stress, maintain a good mood of the child and speed up the process of recovery in the hospital, they practice laughter therapy. Pediatric patients of the clinic are amused by the invited animators. Laughter and smiles after effective medical procedures are a complex guarantee of rapid recovery of children's health.
