Throat (laryngeal) cancer is a malignant tumor that forms in the area of the throat, vocal cords, or tonsils (this form is sometimes classified separately as tonsil cancer). The process can also affect the epiglottis, which is a flap for the windpipe.
Today, effective methods of treating throat cancer in Israel are based on accurate diagnostics, which allow determining the stage and type of lesion, after which a treatment program is drawn up that may include surgery, systemic chemotherapy, or radiation. A combination of these treatment methods is often used.
When laryngeal cancer is treated in Israel, it yields good results, especially at an early stage. That is why thousands of patients flock here hoping not only to be cured but also to preserve the ability to speak.
The high effectiveness of treatment in Israel for laryngeal tumors and other types of throat cancer is based on thorough comprehensive diagnostics carried out using various high-precision methods of laparoscopy, endoscopy, and different types of tomography. Laboratory tests are also used, such as blood tests for tumor markers and the main diagnostic test – biopsy.
Biopsy allows determining the cellular composition of the tumor, which affects both the choice of treatment method and the overall prognosis. Surgery, as the main method of removing a laryngeal tumor, is a surgical technique for treating throat cancer in Israel and exists in several variants. At early stages of the pathology, endoscopic intervention is performed. Under equipment control and using special instruments or a laser scalpel, the malignant cells detected during diagnostics are removed. Also, in the case of small tumors, removal of part of the vocal cords affected by cancer may be performed.
Israeli doctors from MedicalTourIsrael.com strive to preserve, as much as possible, the patient's ability to speak, swallow, and breathe independently. In case of extensive damage, a laryngectomy is performed, in which the vocal cords are completely removed, or a tracheotomy with subsequent placement of a tracheostomy, which provides the patient with the ability to breathe. If metastases are present, the affected lymph nodes are additionally removed, their histological examination is performed, and depending on the results, the treatment strategy is adjusted towards more extensive antitumor therapy.
