Oncogynecologists at the Top Ihilov Medical Center successfully combat vaginal cancer at any stage of progression, and in most cases, they achieve victory over the disease. Their success is aided not only by unique clinical experience but also by the active use of innovative technologies such as laser therapy, cryodestruction, electroexcision, and photodynamic therapy. In combination with "classical" methods of treating cancer with chemotherapy drugs and ionizing radiation, these procedures provide high chances of recovery and, importantly, the preservation of the ability to lead a full sexual life and bear children.

How Vaginal Cancer is Treated at Top Ihilov
Depending on the type of tumour, its size and location, as well as the stage of disease progression, treatment can be conducted in various ways. In any case, the best results are observed when using a comprehensive approach. In addition to the direct removal of the neoplasm (surgically or using progressive minimally invasive techniques), doctors at Top Ihilov always conduct adjuvant therapy, which helps significantly reduce the risks of disease recurrence and achieve the most durable remission possible. But that's not all. Even if the tumour is deemed inoperable, Israeli specialists make every effort to reduce its size, slow the progression of the oncological process, and significantly improve the quality of life – thanks to an individualized comprehensive approach, they succeed in more than 90% of cases.
- Chemotherapy. An auxiliary method used to bring the tumour to a resectable state before surgery or to destroy residual cancer cells in the body after surgical treatment. In localized forms of cancer at early stages, local chemotherapy may also be performed, involving the treatment of affected tissues with cytostatic agents in the form of special solutions or ointments. Because Top Ihilov uses new generation chemotherapy drugs that have minimal toxic effects on healthy tissues, side effects are minimized.
- Targeted Therapy. Innovative anti-tumour drugs based on monoclonal antibodies are even more effective and safer than chemotherapy. They can specifically target cancer cells and destroy them at the DNA level without damaging healthy tissues.
- Radiation Therapy. In addition to modern technologies for remote irradiation of malignant tumours of the vagina, Israeli specialists also practice brachytherapy – the introduction of radiation sources directly into the area of the neoplasm, allowing for maximum targeted impact on cancer cells. In both cases, adjacent healthy tissues are practically not subjected to negative radiation effects – this makes the treatment of vaginal cancer in Israeli clinics not only effective but also harmless to the body. Like anti-tumour drugs, radiation therapy is most often used not independently but as part of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy. In advanced stages of disease progression, it may be combined with chemotherapy for palliative purposes.
- Cryodestruction. A minimally invasive method for destroying malignant tumours of the vagina, involving the use of liquid nitrogen. As a result, atypical cells are instantly frozen and subsequently necrotized. Cryodestruction is mainly performed at the early stages of cancer progression when the tumour is clearly localized and has not yet metastasized to nearby tissues.
- Laser Therapy. The use of laser radiation is another highly effective and minimally traumatic method for removing tumours of the female reproductive system. The advantages of laser therapy include targeted destruction of cancer cells through heating and vaporization, absence of bleeding (due to simultaneous coagulation of blood vessels), and a quick recovery period (the procedure does not require prolonged hospitalization, and no scars or marks are left afterward).
- Photodynamic Therapy. An innovative method used by specialists at Top Ihilov for small localized tumours without metastases. Its essence lies in the impact on the neoplasm with laser radiation after the introduction of a photosensitizer. This is a special light-sensitive substance that can selectively accumulate in cancer cells and accelerate their destruction. Reviews of vaginal cancer treatment in Israel indicate that the photodynamic therapy procedure is completely painless and non-traumatic – at early stages of disease progression, it is an excellent alternative to surgery, allowing for the removal of the tumour in the shortest possible time and with the best results.
- Electroexcision. An organ-preserving surgical intervention in which the tumour is removed within healthy tissues using high-frequency current. Electroexcision is performed only for localized forms of vaginal cancer.
Surgical Treatment. Depending on the stage of disease progression, Israeli specialists perform various types of surgeries. If the tumour process is limited to the vagina, a vaginectomy is performed. At later stages, the uterus and other cancer-affected organs in the pelvic area may also be excised.

Diagnosis of Vaginal Cancer in Israel
All examinations at the Top Ihilov Medical Center are conducted very promptly – within just 3-4 days. Thanks to the use of state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, the clinic's doctors establish diagnoses with 100% accuracy, even at the earliest stages of disease progression.
Patients who are unable to come to Israel for examination are offered an alternative service called "Second Opinion." To do this, it is sufficient to provide copies of the results of previously conducted tests – one of the leading oncogynecologists at the clinic will review them, after which he will conduct a video consultation via Skype and provide his expert opinion regarding the suspected diagnosis.
Examination and Consultation
The patient is referred for an appointment with a specialist in the oncogynecology department. The doctor conducts a basic gynecological examination, organizes the data from the medical history, and then issues referrals for additional examinations.
Diagnostic Procedures
If vaginal cancer is suspected, the following procedures may be prescribed:
- Colposcopy.
- Transvaginal Ultrasound.
- Biopsy.
- Comprehensive blood tests.
- Cytology smear.
- CT.
- MRI.
- PET-CT and others.
Expert Consultation
The results of the diagnostics are reviewed at a medical council by leading specialists in oncogynecology and related fields. This interdisciplinary approach guarantees exceptional accuracy of conclusions and the selection of the most effective therapy strategy.
Diagnostic Methods
- Biopsy
- Computed Tomography
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
How Much Does Treatment for Vaginal Cancer Cost in Israel
Since the treatment plan for each patient is developed individually, the exact cost of vaginal cancer treatment in Israel can only be determined after a consultation with a doctor and undergoing all necessary examinations. At the same time, contacting Top Ihilov is already inherently more advantageous than traveling to Germany or the USA. The cost of vaginal cancer treatment in Israel, with comparable quality of service, is on average 30-45% lower.
