Israel has many clinics specializing in the treatment of oncological diseases. One of the best among them is the Top Ihilov Clinic. This medical center not only has numerous specialized departments, modern diagnostic and treatment equipment, and highly qualified staff, but also a research laboratory where existing and new methods of treatment and diagnosis are improved and developed, including for such a rare disease as neurilemmoma.
For many years, the treatment of oncological diseases in Israel has been considered the most effective. Few countries can boast the presence of highly qualified specialists, the most modern medical equipment, and advanced treatment methods. For this reason, people suffering from neurilemmoma prefer to seek treatment for this ailment in Israel.
Neurilemmoma is a benign tumour made up of specialized cells of the peripheral nerves – Schwann cells. Typically, the disease is characterized by a slow course, although a malignant rapidly progressing form can also occur.
Symptoms of Neurilemmoma
The symptoms of the disease depend on the location of the tumour. Usually, a neurilemmoma appears as a small round formation, firm and elastic to the touch, located along the nerve trunks. As it grows, the tumour compresses the nerve, causing pain and sensory disturbances.
Diagnosing neurilemmomas located along the spinal peripheral nerves is not difficult for experienced specialists. It is much more challenging to diagnose a tumour made up of Schwann cells of cranial nerves, which can be masked as cysts or tumours of another nature. The presence of a formation, its size, and localization can be determined by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. In any case, the diagnosis can only be confirmed through biopsy and subsequent histological analysis.
Treatment of Neurilemmoma in Israel
Despite the fact that neurilemmoma is a rare disease, the Top Ihilov Clinic has successful experience in its treatment. The choice of treatment strategy is made considering many factors. For a small tumour that does not cause concern to the patient, observation is recommended.
If symptoms are present and the neurilemmoma is located on the nerve trunks of the torso, upper, or lower limbs, surgical intervention is recommended. Typically, this type of tumour, except for the malignant form, has its own capsule and does not invade surrounding tissues, making it easy to remove. With the use of microsurgery techniques, which are applied at the Top Ihilov Clinic, the surgical intervention will be quick and with fewer complications.
Neurilemmomas of the peripheral branches of cranial nerves pose challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. In such cases, high-resolution tomographs, state-of-the-art endoscopic and laser equipment, as well as highly skilled neurosurgeons are involved. The Top Ihilov medical center can boast of both. Generally, the prognosis after surgical intervention is good – with radical removal, recurrence of the tumour is rare.
If the patient's health does not allow for surgery, or if the tumour is located in an inaccessible place, radiation therapy becomes the primary treatment method.
