Oncology and Hematology
Our partners at Sheba Medical Center, AKH, Wiener Privatklinik and others specialize in the diagnostic, treatment, and surgical removal of cancerous tissue. There are many types of cancer treatment, each with its benefits and risks. Some of the most common types of cancer treatment available include:
- Immunotherapy is a treatment that uses the body’s immune system to fight cancer. Several types of immunotherapy include checkpoint inhibitors, which help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
- Radiation therapy is a type of treatment that uses high-energy beams to destroy or inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Radiation therapy can be used to treat cancer in many different parts of the body.
- Chemotherapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs to kill rapidly growing cells in the body, including cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be given alone or in combination with other treatments, such as radiation therapy or immunotherapy.
- Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs to target specific genes or proteins that are involved in cancer growth. Targeted therapy can be used to treat many different types of cancer.
- Hormonal therapy is a type of treatment that removes or blocks the production of hormones that can promote cancer growth. Hormonal therapy is most commonly used to treat breast cancer and prostate cancer.
