Thyroid Cancer Treatment

Thyroid Cancer Treatment

Thyroid cancer occurs in the cells of the thyroid, a gland located in the neck. This butterfly-shaped gland produces hormones to regulate heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and body weight. During the early stages, thyroid cancer often remains symptomless. Once the cancer grows, it can cause pain, swollen lymph nodes, hoarseness, and difficulty swallowing. At Sheba Medical Center, we provide progressive, integrative thyroid cancer treatment in Israel. Multidisciplinary specialists collaborate to personalize and optimize every patient’s therapy.

Stage IV Lung Cancer Treatments in Israel

Stage IV Lung Cancer Treatments in Israel

Lung cancer, the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and the third most common cancer in women, causes more deaths on a yearly basis than any other type of cancer.

Smoking accounts for the majority of lung cancer cases — both in smokers and in people exposed to secondhand smoking, but the malignancy also occurs in people who have never smoked and in those who have never had prolonged exposure to secondhand smoke.

There are two main types of lung cancer – non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which are classified by how the cancer cells appear under a microscope. Non-small cell lung cancer is the more common of the two by far, comprising about 85-90% of all cases. Small cell lung cancer occurs almost exclusively in heavy smokers, and usually grows and spreads faster.
