Appendix Cancer: Treatment in Israel at Top Ihilov Clinic

The treatment of appendix cancer at the Top Ihilov Medical Center is handled by excellent surgeons, the best specialists in Israel. Tumours in the vermiform appendix are removed surgically along with the appendix.

Treatment methods:

• Appendectomy. In the absence of distant metastases, an appendectomy — removal of the vermiform appendix — may be performed. This operation is considered quite effective in some countries, but the doctors at Top Ihilov Clinic, based on their considerable experience, know that cancer cells may remain in the appendix stump, from which a tumour may develop again. Therefore, Israeli clinics prefer a more radical and, accordingly, effective treatment;
• Right Hemicolectomy. This surgical intervention involves the removal of the right half of the colon (cecum, ascending colon, right flexure, and right third of the transverse colon) with resection of the terminal ileum. This operation for appendix cancer is considered highly effective and allows for the future avoidance of disease recurrence;
• Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are indicated in the presence of distant metastases in the patient.

The cost of appendix cancer treatment depends on the extent of surgical intervention.

Appendix Cancer: Diagnosis in Israel

Diagnosing appendix cancer is quite complex, as patients with this disease often seek medical attention for acute appendicitis and are literally on the operating table within a few hours. However, at Top Ihilov Clinic, the examination of patients is approached very responsibly, and patients suspected of having appendix cancer are assigned a series of studies:

• CT;
• Ultrasound;
• MRI;
• Histological and cytological studies;
• PET CT;
• Laparoscopy;
• Consultation and examination by a specialist.

Depending on the overall condition of the patient, the severity stage of the disease, the basic examination program may vary.
