OVARIAN CANCER DIAGNOSIS IN TOP ICHILOV

Within 3-4 days, Israeli specialists examine you, make a precise diagnosis and develop an individual treatment protocol.

Day 1: Consultation and examination by a physician and the vital stage of diagnosis: sample revision.

Meet your supervisor: Head of the Diagnostic Department, Doctor I. Molchanova. The doctor accompanies and consults you during the process of diagnosis and treatment. At the initial consultation, you can expect:

  • Consultation with the Head of the Diagnostic Department
  • Health history compilation in Hebrew
  • Examination
  • Preparation of documents in Hebrew and English
  • Explanation of procedures and tests
  • Referrals for diagnostic procedures

The samples that you’ve brought – discs, slides and paraffin blocks with tissue – are sent for revision in the laboratory of the Top Ichilov Clinic on the same day.

  • The diagnosis made in other countries is often cancelled in Top Ichilov. Israeli physicians use the tumor cell sample to determine the exact type of the growth. This is necessary for selecting precise therapy against this kind of tumor.
  • Revision of the prepared samples is less costly than another biopsy. You save your time and money by taking samples with you.

* It is necessary to bring medical documents identifying each sample.

Day 2: Visualization of affected sites, diagnosis

The Top Ichilov laboratory provides complex clinical, biochemical testing with state-of-the-art equipment, including:

  • Comprehensive clinical and biochemical analysis to assess blood cell levels.
  • Tumor marker CA 125 test. CA 125 is a protein produced by ovarian cancer cells.
  • PET-CT. Positron emission tomography is a 45-minute procedure that helps identify the tiniest cancerous sites in any part of the body.

OVARIAN CANCER TREATMENT METHODS IN ISRAEL

Painless treatment in Top Ichilov is selected “just for you”: experts use the newest technologies and methods of personalized medicine.

Laparoscopic Surgery For Ovarian Cancer

Treatment in Top Ichilov involves painless organ-preserving procedures. Professor Dan Grisaru, one of the world’s leading specialists in gynecologic surgery, is the operating surgeon of the department.

During surgery, the doctor removes the tumor and performs a biopsy to assess the spread of cancer. If it’s clear that the cancer has spread beyond the ovaries, debulking is done. Debulking means removal of all visible tumor tissues.

Chemotherapy: Destroys Remaining Cancer Cells

Chemotherapy is prescribed after surgery to destroy the circulating cancer cells.

Chemotherapy in Israel

IP, or intraperitoneal, therapy is one of the most advanced methods of chemotherapy drug administration. It is used either in the final stage of surgery or after surgery. IP therapy involves administration of the concentrated chemotherapy drugs in the form of gas into the abdominal cavity. This is a systemic treatment method. It ensures that the medication will primarily affect the tumor.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy for ovarian cancer is rarely used in Israel but may be included into the protocol to help destroy remaining cancer cells. It is used for recurring ovarian cancer. In most cases, radiation therapy controls such symptoms as pain, but does not cure the cancer.

Targeted Therapy

Top Ichilov offers targeted therapy for some types of ovarian cancer. The drugs stop the growth of cancer cells by interacting with certain proteins and receptors in the blood vessels feeding the tumor.

Профессор Моше Инбар

The use of PARP inhibitors is one of the advanced methods of biological therapy for ovarian cancer. This therapy suppresses the enzymes that promote regeneration of cancer cells. Thus, it prevents tumor cell survival.Initially, this method was developed for patients with the BRCA gene mutation. However, clinical trials showed that it is also effective in other patients. Treatment with PARP inhibitors increased survival significantly and reduced the risk of cancer progression. Moreover, the use of PARP inhibitors helped postpone chemotherapy.

Professor Moshe Inbar

Head of Oncology Department

Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy suppresses the production of hormones that promote the growth of cancer cells, or decreases their effect on the tumor. In some cases, hormone therapy is prescribed after the primary treatment.

OVARIAN CANCER TREATMENT METHODS INTRODUCED IN 2024

  • The Combination of Drugs Niraparib (Zejula) and Pembrolizumab (Keytruda)

The newer PARP inhibitor niraparib was initially recommended by FDA as a treatment for breast cancer and colon cancer. The new treatment protocol has been developed for patients with recurring ovarian cancer that does not respond to platinum-based chemotherapy. In clinical trials, it showed high effectiveness in 65% patients by increasing survival more than 1.5-fold.

  • The Protocol that Includes Drugs Binimetinib (Mektovi) and Buparlisib (BKM120)

This protocol is used in ovarian cancer patients with the RAS or BRAF genetic mutation. Up until now, there have been no effective standard treatments for tumors with these mutations. The new protocol includes 2 drugs; one of them belongs to the MEK inhibitors, and the other is a PI3K inhibitor. The protocol proved its effectiveness in clinical trials and has been used in Israel since 2021.
