Could Novel Treatments for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children Help Your Child?
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children: Advanced Treatments Available in Israel.
Discover the benefits of CAR T-cell therapy and bone marrow transplantation in Israel for your child
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an aggressive (fast-growing) type of leukemia in which too many immature white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow instead of mature ones, which can cause a decrease in red blood cells and platelets, and also reduce the immune system’s ability to fight infections. While ALL can develop at any age, it is more common in children and is in fact the most prevalent type of cancer in children. As an extremely fast-growing malignancy of the blood and bone marrow, ALL requires treatment to be administered as early as possible for a positive outcome. When left untreated, the disease can become fatal within months. In most cases, by the time ALL is diagnosed, it has already spread to multiple body organs, including the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and central nervous system. Standard treatments for ALL include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiation therapy, but advanced treatments, such as bone marrow transplantation and CAR T-cell therapy, are also available at select medical institutions.

Reasons Why Many Choose Israel for Treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children
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.
