4 Reasons to Choose Israel for B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Treatment
Israel not only has one of the world’s most advanced healthcare systems but is also a cost-effective choice for medical tourism.
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, which transports lymph, a fluid that contains disease-fighting white blood cells, and circulates through the body, much like blood does. The lymphatic system spans the whole body, and lymphomas can start anywhere lymph tissue is found. In NHL, the cancerous cells originate from lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that is part of the immune system. It is more common in adults than in children, although it can affect children as well. NHL is generally divided into 2 main groups, based on whether it starts in B lymphocytes (B-cells) or T lymphocytes (T-cells), but there are multiple subtypes of NHL. Nevertheless, B-cell lymphomas are the most common type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, accounting for around 85% of patients.

Reasons to Choose Israel for B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Treatment
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.
CAR T-cell Therapy
CAR T-cell therapy is an innovative immunotherapy that involves stimulating immune T-cells to attack cancer. A new and advanced treatment, CAR T-cell therapy is available in Israel and relatively few other countries around the world.
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.
