Modern Treatment Methods for Testicular Cancer

When prescribing therapy methods for patients, the doctors at Top Ihilov always consider not only the specifics of the clinical picture of the pathology (type of tumour, its size and location, etc.), but also the patient's age, overall health status, and a number of other factors. This approach contributes to achieving positive results in the shortest possible time.

• Chemotherapy. As part of the comprehensive treatment of testicular cancer, most patients are necessarily prescribed a course of chemotherapy (drugs are selected individually in each case based on the tumour's sensitivity to specific cytostatic and cytotoxic agents). The treatment helps to destroy not only cancer cells in the primary tumour focus but also micrometastases, thereby increasing the chances of achieving stable remission. Chemotherapy yields the best results when combined with surgical removal of the tumour: before surgery, it helps to bring the neoplasm to a more resectable state, and after – reduces the risks of recurrence. The negative impact on healthy cells is minimized. The modern chemotherapeutic agents used at Top Ihilov have a gentle effect on the body and, as a result, practically do not cause side effects.
• Targeted therapy. An innovative therapeutic method that allows for the precise destruction of malignant cells without any toxic impact on the body. Monoclonal antibodies included in targeted drugs recognize and destroy cancer cells at the DNA level, resulting in a significant reduction in tumour size and halting its growth.
• Radiation therapy. Can be performed both during preparation for surgical intervention and after it. Irradiation of the tumour focus helps to destroy even the smallest remaining cancer cells, thereby preventing the likelihood of disease recurrence. Thanks to the use of the latest generation linear accelerators at Top Ihilov Medical Center, healthy tissues receive minimal radiation exposure and are not damaged at all. The clinic's doctors also practice advanced technologies for conducting radiotherapy, allowing them to adjust the intensity of the beams and correct their direction depending on the position of the irradiation target.
• Laser coagulation. Small superficially located tumours of the testis are removed by Israeli specialists using innovative non-surgical methods. One of these is laser coagulation – an absolutely non-invasive, bloodless, and safe procedure during which atypical cells are burned away by laser beams and subsequently die.
• Electrocoagulation. Another minimally traumatic method of eliminating testicular cancer that shows good results in the early stages of disease progression. High-frequency electric current is applied to the tumour tissues, causing them to heat up and instantly destroy.
• Surgical treatment. The extent of the surgery in each case will depend on the spread of the oncological process. Reviews of testicular cancer treatment in Israel indicate that in the absence of metastases in adjacent organs, the tumour is usually excised within healthy tissues (with a margin of 2-3 cm at the edges). This minimizes the risks of complications and cosmetic defects.

Diagnostics of Testicular Cancer at Top Ihilov

The process of undergoing examination in Israeli clinics is organized in such a way that by the third or fourth day from the start of diagnostics, the patient is provided with a 100% accurate diagnosis and the most effective program for further therapy.

Doctors at Top Ihilov Medical Center also conduct remote video consultations, which are an excellent alternative for those who temporarily cannot travel abroad. It is enough to send the doctor the results of all previously conducted studies via email, which he can review to confirm or refute the diagnosis made to the patient in their home country.

Day One. Examination and Consultation

First, the patient is examined by one of the leading oncologists. After systematizing the medical history data, the doctor determines the list of additional diagnostic procedures.

Day Two. Undergoing Tests

Diagnostics of testicular cancer is conducted using the following methods:

• Ultrasound.
• Magnetic resonance imaging.
• Computed tomography.
• Positron emission tomography with CT.
• Biopsy.
• Comprehensive blood tests.
• Doppler ultrasound and others.

Day Three. Expert Conclusion

The treating physician, together with several other specialists, reviews the diagnostic results and determines the most optimal therapy methods in this case. The patient is also allowed to attend the consultation – they can obtain a second opinion from different doctors and receive comprehensive answers to all their questions.
