Diagnosis of uterine cancer in Israel
If you want to take high-quality gynecological and cancer diagnosis as soon as possible, the best option would be an appeal to the medical service IsraMedic.
In any of the Israeli hospitals for examination of patients with uterine oncology usually takes about two weeks. With the help of Isramedic whole process takes only 3-6 days, and with the involvement of leading Israeli doctors.
After all, we know that time is so important, especially when you are in another country. The sooner the patient will pass examination, the faster the doctors will be able to start therapy quickly, because as we know, in the early stages to overcome a cancer is much easier.
Routine uterine cancer diagnostics may include procedures such as:
- Consultation and examination of the patient;
- Laboratory blood tests, including tests for tumor markers and genetic testing for mutations that can increase the risk of this disease;
- Revision of biopsy;
- ultrasound and Doppler investigations;
- Hysteroscopy - with the help of the optical system allows to reveal pathological process, identify its localization, prevalence, perform a biopsy;
- Endometrial biopsy with histopathology. A biopsy is performed with a thin needle, which is inserted into the tumor. Biopsy material is sent to cytology analysis;
- Curettage or diagnostic curettage is performed in the case where the number of biopsy material, obtained during a biopsy of the endometrium is not enough;
- MRI of the pelvic organs;
- PET-CT - makes it possible to detect tumor lesions from 3 mm and define small metastases.
The cost of the entire diagnostic program in Israel is from 3500 to 6500 dollars.
We provide more budgetary survey packages, but in such cases, our doctors have to rely on the results of the tests which are not passed in Israel. To this practice Israeli clinics generally resorted in the case of the 4th stage of cancer of the uterus in the appointment of palliative chemotherapy. In this case, diagnosis includes blood tests, inspection of pathology and oncologist consultation. The price of this program is $ 1,500.
Treatment of uterine cancer in Israel, depending on the stage
Endometrial cancer is localized in the first stage only in the body of the uterus, and it does not spread to the lymph nodes. Protocol treatment of uterine cancer in Israel in the first stage involves performing surgery to remove the tumor mass (hysterectomy).
In the second stage of uterine cancer the process is distributed already in the connective tissue, but it does not spread yet beyond the organ. In this case, treatment involves performing radical hysterectomy, resection of the uterus implies, appendages and lymph nodes.
Removed lymph nodes during the operation are examined for the presence of abnormal cells. If there are cancer cells it is believed that the disease is passed to the third stage.
After surgery, chemotherapy is performed in order to destroy remaining cells after surgery the tumor cells.
Recovery after receiving chemotherapy sometimes requires special preparations. The use of effective non-drug means to increase hemoglobin, white blood cells, platelets.
The third stage is characterized by the proliferation of tumor cells outside the uterus. Treatment at this stage involves performing a simple or radical hysterectomy with bilateral adnexal resection, followed by a course of chemotherapy.
At the fourth stage, the growth of tumors is in the intestine or bladder. It is possible to metastasis to distant organs. The treatment of the fourth step is usually complex and involves chemotherapy and hormone therapy. The purpose of palliative radiation therapy may also be used.
Treatment of uterine cancer in the case of the presence of disease recurrence and metastatic process involves the use of chemotherapy or hormonal drugs.
