Welcome to the Hemato-Oncology Division of Sheba Medical Center at Tel HaShomer.
We offer comprehensive, compassionate care to patients with cancer and other diseases of the blood.

At Sheba, our Hemato-Oncology Division facilities are modern and comfortable, and our technologies are state-of-the-art. Because blood cancers can be rare and their treatment can be complex, it is critical to seek treatment from an experienced, expert medical team. The hemato-oncologists at Sheba are highly qualified, having undergone training at top cancer institutions worldwide. Our leading-edge treatments include surgical, medical, and radiation oncology approaches, based on the latest specialized research. We constantly focus on ways to improve both your therapeutic options and quality of life during your fight against cancer.
Our hospitalization department comprises 41 beds, most of them in isolated rooms suitable for patients who are receiving intensive chemotherapy. In addition to physicians, the supportive staff of the Hemato-Oncology Division for Adults also includes nurses, social workers, and psychologists.
Due to the overall complexity of hemato-oncological diseases and the other illnesses that we treat in this division, our team collaborates closely with medical experts from all other fields, including infectious disease consultants, radiologists, orthopedists, urologists, anesthesiologists, nephrologists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons.
