Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Bone Marrow Transplants in Israel
3 Reasons to Choose Israel for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Bone Marrow Transplant
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, is the most common leukemia in adults, and accounts for approximately one-third of all leukemias. CLL is caused by a genetic mutation in the DNA of blood-producing cells, which triggers the production of abnormal, ineffective lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that usually helps your body fight infection. Beyond being ineffective, these abnormal lymphocytes continue to live and multiply. The abnormal lymphocytes accumulate in the blood and in certain organs, where they cause complications, such as anemia and infection, and may crowd healthy cells out of the bone marrow and interfere with normal blood cell production. It can take a long time before chronic lymphocytic leukemia causes noticeable problems, and most people can live with it unaware for many years. However, chronic leukemia tends to be harder to cure than acute leukemia. Treatments for CLL include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and bone marrow transplant.

Reasons to Choose Israel for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Bone Marrow Transplant:
Advanced Treatment:
Medical institutions in Israel and the US often collaborate in advanced cancer research, developing new and effective treatments against the disease, yet Israel has fewer constraints than the US when it comes to adopting novel treatments. Israeli clinical trials still adhere to the highest standards of safety, but innovative treatments are generally made available to patients sooner than in the US.
Quality of Care:
Israeli physicians are exceptionally well-trained and often spend even more time on their medical education than American doctors. Also, you can be assured of high standards and strict safety regulations if you choose a hospital accredited by a trustworthy authority.
Cost:
In many countries, healthcare costs can be exorbitant. Without insurance, the costs of cancer treatment can be crippling. Prices are much lower in Israel, averaging 30-80% less than in the US, for example. That said, you’re not trading affordability for quality, since Israeli specialists, medical institutions, equipment, and procedures are among the most advanced in the world.
