Based on statistics collected over the years, protocols for treating various types of cancer are a useful tool for oncology, however Hadassah doctors often have to be flexible, adapting proven protocols to a specific situation.
Advanced molecular genetic onco-tests help prepare personalized cancer treatment programs. In Israel, they are used in case of problems with the diagnosis, with the resistance of the tumor to hormonal and chemotherapy, the risk of recurrence, in order to prevent cancer and under other circumstances.
In the Hadassah hospital are used:
«I think that in 20 years Israel will learn to treat most types of cancer, and some of them will turn into common chronic diseases. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to invest more resources in genetic research. Today Israel is one of the first in the world in this area».
(Professor Tamar Peretz, head of the Sharett Institute, from an interview with Israel Today daily newspaper, 28.12.2012)
In the Hadassah hospital 34% of diagnoses made abroad are not confirmed. The reason for the mistakes of foreign doctors lies in the imperfection of the protocols for detecting malignant processes in a number of countries. For example, PET-CT, one of the most informative and reliable types of visual examination, is a compulsory element of most diagnostic programs in the treatment of dozens of oncology types in Israel, and this device is rarely used in the countries of the former CIS. Naturally, the diagnosis made with PET-CT, which is not available even in the best oncological clinics in Israel, will be very different from the results of the examination, in which positron emission computed tomography was not used at all.
The Hadassah hospital uses both innovative and traditional methods of detecting cancer, such as tumor markers, or examining the patient’s blood and urine for the presence of substances that are waste products of a cancerous tumor or the body response to its presence.
Test for tumor markers is carried out not only to determine the presence of a malignant process, but also to assess the effectiveness of the therapy), 7-10 days after surgery to monitor its success, to prevent relapses after treatment.
Tumor markers alone do not indicate the presence of cancer; additional diagnostics are needed, since some conditions and pathologies also cause an increased content of substances that are tumor markers.
Since 2012, the hospital has been taking a biopsy under ultrasound control, which significantly increases the accuracy of the procedure. Most often, ultrasound-guided biopsies of the thyroid gland, prostate, liver, spleen and lungs are performed.
The use of technology and proven techniques is not a guarantee of success, technology does not replace the experience of a diagnostician, acquired knowledge and skills. However, the patients of the Hadassah hospital are lucky: the oncologists of the medical center learn from experienced professors, world famous doctors who studied medicine from hereditary doctors who came to Jerusalem in the first half of the 20th century from Western and Eastern Europe.
Oncologists are the main factor determining the quality of cancer treatment in Israel.
This is a famous oncosurgeon prof. Alon Pikarski, head of the Sharett Institute prof. Tamar Yablonski-Peretz, a world famous oncogynecologist prof. Avi Ben-Shushan, a well-known oncourologist Professor Ofer Gofrit, nicknamed by his colleagues “Professor Da Vinci” for his masterful use of a robotic surgeon, indispensable in Israel in the treatment of cancer of the male genitourinary system, head of the Melanoma and Cancer Immunotherapy Treatment Center, a world famous dermatologist prof. Michal Lotem..
These and other doctors of the Jerusalem Medical Center always make accurate diagnoses and masterfully use the means of modern oncology, available only in such large and state-sponsored institution.
Patients treated in the medical center are often the first to use innovative drugs, long before they appear in pharmacies. The explanation for this phenomenon is simple: The Sharett Institute is a world leader in the creation and implementation of anti-cancer drugs, clinical trials of new drugs are held here every year, in which patients are invited to participate, whose chance of recovery using conventional therapy is low. The tests are completely safe: doctors are very attentive and react quickly to the slightest change in the work of the participant’s body.
A new breakthrough in radiotherapy
At the beginning of 2021, the Hadassah hospital began to use the only innovative in Israel and the Middle East Ethos linear accelerator from VARIAN, which has taken the world of radiotherapy to a new level. Unlike its predecessors, this device allows you to create a new individual radiation plan every day, which significantly shortens the duration of radiotherapy sessions and increases its accuracy, preventing the occurrence of most side effects.
Ethos is equipped with a high-precision computed tomography system, and adaptive artificial intelligence manages the entire treatment planning process.

A revolution in radiotherapy
The Oncology Department constantly purchases the latest generation of medical and diagnostic equipment. In 2016, for the first time in the country, local radiologists began using the Novalis TrueBeam Stx ultra-precise radiotherapy unit. The device can significantly reduce the course of radiotherapy, in some cases – up to a week instead of a month. The installation systems accurately detect the tumor, and the radiation is carried out so precisely that even a small neoplasm located dangerously close to the nerve centers (for example, metastasis in the spine) is destroyed without any consequences for the patient. The radiotherapy unit is headed by one of the most well-known radiologists, Dr. Mark Vigoda.
The new device is capable of hitting several targets at the same time, for example, destroying several metastases in the brain in one session, which significantly reduces the risk and speeds up recovery.

Unique PET-CT
At the beginning of 2018, a PET-CT scan was launched in the visual diagnostics unit, which is 70% more accurate and 2 times faster than similar equipment used in the largest hospitals in Tel Aviv.
The Jerusalem diagnosticians have been learning how to use the devices and to exactly interpret the obtained results for years from their senior colleagues, they constantly take advanced training courses on the basis of the largest manufacturers, and are trained in the largest cancer centers in the USA, Canada, and Western Europe.

Oncology is a priority area of medicine in most developed countries, it is extremely difficult to withstand competition in this area. However, Hadassah has long been ranked among the top Israeli hospitals specializing in cancer treatment.
When diagnosing and treating malignant neoplasms, the Sharett Institute and other oncological centers and departments use the most advanced methods and technologies, some are used only in the hospital and nowhere else within the country, and sometimes in the Middle East and Europe.
Therapy (PRRT)
The Oncology Department uses only modern means of combating malignant neoplasms:
People often come to the Hadassah hospital due to the operation volume offered abroad. In Israel, cancer treatment is focused on the preservation of organs, on improving the patient’s life quality, the oncosurgeons of the clinic use the slightest chance to proceed without invasive intervention or to reduce it as much as possible.
Unlike many foreign oncologists, the doctors of the Hadassah hospital are followers of a holistic or integrated approach, in which the human body is perceived as a single, harmonious whole, and the main goal of therapy is not only the complete disappearance of tumor cells, but also an overall improvement in the life quality of a patient with cancer. A conference of specialists from various fields of medicine gathers: oncologists, rehabilitologists, physiotherapists, nutritionists, pain therapy specialists, cardiologists and many others. A group of doctors closely monitors the patient’s condition and makes recommendations for correcting the course of treatment and subsequent rehabilitation.
Some types of oncosurgery require the subsequent intervention of a plastic surgeon. Dr. Neta Adler is a popular specialist in breast reconstruction after tumor removal among hundreds of patients, she uses modern techniques such as DIEP and TRAM – the latest methods of adipose tissue transplantation from the lower abdomen. As a result, the patient not only regains the natural appearance of her breasts, but also reduces her abdomen.
Numerous colleagues of Dr. Adler restore the skin, eliminate the consequences of maxillofacial, onco-ophthalmological, onco-orthopedic and other operations.
For those who are interested in oncology in Israel, it is useful to know that the prices for diagnostics and therapy of neoplasms in the Hadassah hospital are much lower than the cost of similar services in Western Europe, Canada and the USA. It is worth noting that the amount of payment in the Jerusalem clinic is determined and controlled by the Ministry of Health, overpayment is simply impossible.
When comparing prices for treatment of various oncology types in Israel, consider the cost of not only the procedures, but also the payment for accommodation, food, travel and so on. In Jerusalem, doctors and accompanying persons do their best to make your stay at the Hadassah hospital as short as possible and bring maximum benefit.
Bring the results of tests carried out abroad, and you will save on repeated diagnostics. However, the dynamics of the disease may require additional tests. It is also possible that the quality of the brought glass, discs, etc. will not satisfy the doctor, and he will refer the patient to additional procedures.
Thousands of patients visit Israeli clinics every year, oncology is developed here no less, and in some areas even better than in Western countries. Doctors of the Hadassah hospitals achieve excellent results in the treatment of all types of malignant tumors without exception, including the rarest forms.
