Bladder Cancer Treatment in Israel
The Urology Department of the Top Ihilov Medical Center offers treatment for malignant bladder pathology using a new and unique method – the Synergo device. The device operates on the principle of combining two techniques: chemotherapy and hyperthermia.
The treatment has proven to be a very effective method for preventing cancer recurrences after surgery, as an alternative to surgical treatment for patients with contraindications to surgery, in cases of extensive cancer lesions, and multiple neoplasms in the bladder.
How Does the Synergo Device Work?
A catheter with an antenna conductor is inserted into the bladder. The antenna begins to emit ultrasound waves and heats the walls of the bladder. The catheter is equipped with temperature sensors that determine the tissue temperatures of the organ, and during the procedure, the specialist monitors the heating. Simultaneously, a chemotherapeutic agent is introduced into the bladder, which is well absorbed by the atypical cells of the tumour and blocks their growth and division.
The Top Ihilov Medical Center offers two types of Synergo treatment:
- Prevention. Procedures are performed on patients to eliminate the recurrence of the tumour after surgery. Unlike standard bladder irrigation with chemotherapeutic agents, treatment with the Synergo device provides almost a hundred percent guarantee of no recurrences in the future.
- Cancer Treatment. The procedure is indicated for patients with extensive malignant processes, multiple malignant tumours in the bladder, large neoplasms, as well as for patients for whom surgical treatment is not possible. For all these patients, Synergo treatment is a real chance for recovery.
Duration of Treatment Course
The standard treatment consists of 6 procedures, scheduled once a week, with each procedure lasting about an hour. If the treatment is prescribed as prevention, one procedure per month is indicated (the number depends on the pathology).
The most appealing aspect of treatment with the Synergo device for patients is the painless nature of the procedures, so there is no need for any anesthesia. Additionally, no side effects are observed after treatment: weakness, nausea, hair loss, etc. The procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, allowing the patient to leave the department immediately afterward.
