Lung Cancer Treatment in Israel
5 Reasons to Choose Lung Cancer Treatment in Israel
The prevalence of lung cancer worldwide is extraordinarily high. In fact, it is the cancer that leads to the highest fatality rate in men and the third highest rate of death in women. As many people are aware, the biggest risk factor for lung cancer is tobacco use, generally cigarette smoking. In fact, smoking is associated with 75 – 90% of all cases of lung cancer.
Everyone who puts a cigarette in their mouth is at risk of lung cancer. However, a person’s individual smoking history, particularly the quantity and length of time that one has smoked, is linked strongly to their chances of developing lung cancer. In addition, even if your lips never touched a cigarette but you spent time near a smoker, inhaling second-hand smoke also raises your risks of developing this devastating disease. While quitting smoking reduces your odds of lung cancer substantially, it does not bring them back to the level of lifelong nonsmokers.

A Review of Lung Cancer Treatment Options in Israel
Surgical Removal:
Surgery is typically the first step in treating lung cancer, especially when it is diagnosed early. The type of surgery performed depends upon the size of the cancer, the type of lung cancer, the position of the cancer in the lung, and whether or not the cancer is spread. Skilled lung surgeons in Israel will use the latest specialized technologies and techniques.
Drug Therapy
After surgical removal of lung cancer, medical specialists must determine which specific drugs to give each individual patient. In order to decide which drug is most suitable, the physicians assess the outcome of genetic surveys done on the patient’s cancer. These surveys evaluate the specific type of genetic mutations that are present.
Radiation Therapy
When cancer is already spreading throughout the rest of the body, radiation therapy is typically administered.
