The oncohematology department treats patients with various types of leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphomas, and other malignant processes of the hematopoietic system. Treatment is carried out in a hospital or on an outpatient basis.
To draw up an effective treatment strategy, a comprehensive diagnosis is carried out using ultra-precise equipment and the latest research methods.
The main methods of treating cancer of the hematopoietic system in the Hadassah clinic:
Preparations and dosages are selected individually. The latest generation antitumor agents are used, which have a more gentle effect on the human body.
Molecular targeted therapy. In this case, targeted drugs are used that block the growth of atypical cells, thereby preventing further tumor growth.
Radiation therapy. It is carried out with the help of a modern linear accelerator, which ensures high accuracy of the impact on cancer cells.
Bone marrow transplantation. The clinic carefully selects a donor according to the system of human tissue compatibility. Autologous (the own stem cells, which were prepared in advance, are transplanted to the patient) or allogeneic (BMT from a relative or unrelated donor) transplantation is carried out.
Cancer immunotherapy. Drugs are injected into the patient’s body that stimulate the patient’s immune system to fight cancer. For this, monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, and immunostimulating agents are used.
