Lung Surgery and Lung
Oncology in Israel

Lung cancer is extremely common, responsible for approximately 1.76 million deaths worldwide in 2018, according to the World Health Organization. There are two types of lung cancer – non-small cell lung cancer, which is much more common, and small cell lung cancer. At Sheba Medical Center in Israel, we offer the most advanced lung surgery procedures for lung cancer, when surgical removal is indicated as the best treatment option. Our skilled surgeons, pulmonologists, pathologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists collaborate to personalize every patient’s lung cancer treatment.

Why Sheba?

Lobectomy
Pneumonectomy

Segmentectomy
Wedge resection

We also offer VATS (video-assisted thoracic surgery), a cutting-edge and less invasive method of surgical removal, most appropriate for smaller tumors located near the edges of the lung.

Patient Testimonials

Meet Aleksander, a 57-year-old patient from the Russian Federation, who was diagnosed with lung cancer. His research guided him towards Sheba Medical Center as the best place to receive progressive lung cancer treatment. One week later, he arrived in Israel for his first examination.

“I spent a total of two months at Sheba, and I will never forget the caring and professionalism of the medical staff and the medical consultants in the International Medical Tourism Division,” said Aleksander. “The cancer had brought me down, but I got my life back thanks to the surgeons at Sheba.”
