The modern world opens up in front of people different opportunities and sometimes it is strange not to take advantages from this. One of these features is the high-quality treatment of blood cancer in Israel. Nowadays it is possible to take effective therapy of malignant diseases of the blood and immune system.
Due to the high level of development of hematology in our country such malignancies as chronic and acute leukemia, myeloma, amyloidosis, lymphoma, and Hodgkin's diseases are treated with great efficiency.
Diagnosis of blood cancer in Israel
During the diagnosis of blood cancer in Israeli hospitals use the latest equipment, which allows you to get to know all the features of the disease.
To date, the following diagnostic methods are used in our country:
- Laboratory blood tests: clinical, biochemical, hormonal, for tumor markers;
- PET-CT, CT;
- Ultrasonography of the abdomen;
- Bone marrow biopsy;
- Lymph node biopsy;
- Cytogenetic analysis of blood cells and bone marrow;
- hematologist consultation.
Treatment of blood cancer in Israel
Treatment of blood cancer in hematology departments today involves careful application of chemo and radiotherapy in combination with surgery.
Treatment of medical drugs involves the use of wide variety of high-quality assets, which helps to achieve sufficiently good results. Especially it should be noted that during the treatment of blood cancer is used chemotherapeutic method, which will not only help to overcome the disease, but also to reduce to a minimum side effects of treatment.
Radiotherapy in Israeli hospitals involves the use of the most modern equipment, which substantially reduces the damage to healthy tissue and increases the effectiveness of each procedure. This is made possible through the use of computer navigation (MRI or PET) during irradiation, which allows you to concentrate the radiation on only affected tissues, which undoubtedly improves the efficiency and safety of the therapy.
Often, in the treatment of blood cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy is used after bone marrow transplantation. This operation requires first of all the availability of donor material, and in that case, if it is impossible to take it from family, specialists use the bank of donated blood.
Pecularities of treatment of leukemia
Leukemia is a group of cancers of blood cells, which usually develops quickly and is often fatal. Methods which help to treat this disease have been developed at the end of the last century and are currently continuously being improved, which allows prescribing more efficient treatment of blood cancer.
Symptoms of leukemia
Symptoms of this disease include:
- Pain in the joints and bones;
- Fatigue;
- Frequent infections;
- The appearance of red spots on the skin;
- Weight loss;
- Frequent bleeding or bruising;
- Night sweating.
By using the most modern equipment and medications specialists can achieve good results in the treatment of blood cancer. Successful recovery is in more than 75% of cases.
However, it should be noted that remission occurs only in the case of acute leukemia. In the chronic form of the disease, specialists can only slow down its development.
The main method of treatment of leukemia is chemotherapy, in conjunction with bone marrow transplantation. In addition are used supporting procedures such as blood transfusions, prevention of complications, and so on.
Methods of treatment of myeloma
Myeloma is malignant pathology which is located in plasma cells in the bone marrow. Due to the fact that cancer cells divide uncontrollably, they crowd out normal cells and do not give body to produce them.
To date, the treatment of myeloma in Israeli clinics includes the use of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation therapy.
Surgical treatment of cancer is prescribed in cases where it is possible to remove a malignant tumor, or in the case when, due to the size of the tumor there is a threat of squeezing bodies.
The main method of treating myeloma is chemotherapy. The effectiveness of this method is proved with the increase in duration of life of patients in three times and frequent remissions, in which the patient is prescribed interferon, which reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
Radiation therapy is administered if there is local destruction of bone cancer, or chemotherapy cannot be used because of the heavy condition of the patient.
Thus, we can say that a blood cancer treatment in Israeli hospitals is paid a lot of attention. Many researches in this area allow to study the etiology of various types of blood cancer and to develop new effective methods of treatment.
The high level of Israeli medicine, a unique system of training and innovative technology can successfully fight even the most serious diseases, including such as blood cancer.
