About the Department of Oncology and Hematology at Assuta Hospital Tel Aviv
The Department of Oncology and Hematology at the Assuta Hospital Tel Aviv offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of all types of cancer at any stages and in patients of any age group. Thanks to the combination of high professionalism of Israeli oncologists, advanced anti-cancer methods, innovative drugs, advanced medical technologies, state-of-the-art medical and diagnostic equipment and an individual approach, the department demonstrates excellent treatment results and is one of the leading medical facilities in the world. The department is headed by Dr. med. Julia Greenberg.
Since oncopathology is one of the most difficult challenges of modern medicine, its treatment requires a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach.Therefore, the department is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of highly qualified doctors, such as oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, chemotherapists, psychologists, who are among the country's best doctors, and also gained credibility in the international arena.
The specialists of the department aim not only to completely rid the patient of a malignant neoplasm and metastases, but also to preserve his acceptable quality of life. Therefore, when choosing medical methods, they give preference to those that not only lead to the desired result, but will also be as sparing as possible. For example, they perform surgical interventions using modern minimally invasive methods, which mostly allow to preserve the integrity and functionality of the organ affected by the tumor, while among the available drugs choose only those that accurately affect cancer cells, without making harm to the healthy ones.
Before a treatment program is prescribed, the patient undergoes the most comprehensive examination with the use of modern effective and safe diagnostic methods, such as CT, PET-CT, MRI, X-rays, biochemical, molecular, genetic studies, endoscopic studies.
