Pulmonology specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract. Within pulmonology, phthisiology is distinguished, which studies pulmonary tuberculosis, and thoracic surgery, which deals with the surgical treatment of diseases of the chest, respiratory organs, and mediastinum.

Pulmonology in Israel interacts with such disciplines as oncology, allergology, cardiology, otolaryngology, traumatology, intensive care, rheumatology, transplantology, resuscitation and a number of others.

Pulmonology departments in Israeli clinics provide treatment for:

• nonspecific lung diseases (bronchitis, pneumonia, tracheitis, bronchiectasis, etc.);
• allergies (bronchial asthma);
• destructive changes (lung gangrene, abscesses);
• diseases of the pleural area (hydrothorax, pneumothorax);
• chest injuries;
• tumor lesions of the lungs, mediastinum, pleura, bronchi;
• emergency conditions accompanied by respiratory failure;
• diseases of a systemic nature with dissemination in the lung tissue (fibrosing alveolitis, cystic fibrosis, sarcoidosis);
• malformations of the tracheobronchial tree, etc.

Many diseases in the field of pulmonology are very difficult, lead to serious deterioration in health, reduce the quality of life and shorten its duration. The growth of this type of disease is influenced by the deteriorating environment, tobacco smoking, harmful occupational factors, a tendency to frequent colds, and old age (after 60-70 years).

Private clinics and medical centers in Israel provide the services of reputable specialists: pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, TB specialists, and oncologists. Lung treatment in Israel is carried out at a very high level and in most cases allows one to cope with the disease or achieve remission.

Diagnosis of lung diseases in Israel

The development of pulmonology is associated, first of all, with the development of diagnostic methods. Pulmonology departments in Israel are equipped with the latest, first-class equipment. An accurate diagnosis is made within 1-2 days and meets international standards.

1. Laboratory diagnostics includes the study of biochemical, microscopic, bacteriological, morphological, cytological, PCR materials. The acid-base and gas state of the blood is being studied; sputum is analyzed for microscopic composition, microflora, acid-fast mycobacteria, pleural effusion and biopsy samples of the lung, pleura, bronchi; A background study of bronchial lavage water is performed. This type of diagnosis of lung diseases in Israel is used to make a diagnosis and monitor the dynamics of treatment.
2. X-ray methods diagnose changes in the pleural cavity, in the tracheobronchial tree, in the mediastinum, in the lung tissue, in the chest. This type of examination is divided into general (radiography, fluoroscopy, fluorography) and special (angiopulmonography, bronchography, bronchial arteriography) studies.
3. Tomographic diagnosis of lung diseases in Israel: these are x-ray longitudinal (linear), computer, magnetic resonance, positron emission tomography of the lungs. It allows you to obtain images of sagittal, frontal and axial sections of the studied area; eliminates artifacts associated with pulsation, breathing, etc.; applies contrast enhancement and volumetric reconstruction based on the acquired images.
4. Endoscopic examinations are generally accepted in early diagnosis: endoscopic examination of the pleura (pleuroscopy), bronchi (bronchoscopy), mediastinum (mediastinoscopy), and lungs (thoracoscopy, transbronchial lung biopsy) is widely used. During these studies, material may be collected for laboratory testing, medical procedures, and minimally invasive interventions.
5. Radioisotope methods for diagnosing lung diseases in Israel examine the state of regional ventilation (ventilation scintigraphy) and pulmonary capillary blood flow (perfusion scintigraphy). The pre-administered radiopharmaceutical distributed in the lungs is assessed. Using these methods, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, atelectasis, obstructive diseases, local pneumosclerosis, etc. are diagnosed. These studies complement radiological information.
6. The study of external respiration function in diagnosing lung diseases in Israel involves conducting a number of tests that reflect the functional state of the respiratory tract. Spirometry establishes tidal volumes, plethysmography and pneumotachography examine the mechanics of breathing, peak flowmetry assesses bronchial patency. This type of diagnosis helps predict operational risks, assess the functional state of the lungs, and monitor the adequacy of lung treatment in Israel.

Diagnostic procedures are the use of minimally invasive surgical examination methods aimed at collecting tissue or cellular material for laboratory research. Such manipulations include pleural puncture (thoracentesis), puncture biopsy of the pleura or lung, etc. This diagnostic information helps to clarify the nature of damage to the lungs and pleura at the preoperative stage.

Lung treatment in Israel

Lung treatment in Israel is carried out using both conservative and surgical methods (gentle endoscopic and open cavity). Conservative treatment involves the use of drug therapy, physiotherapy, climatotherapy, and inhalations. Pulmonology in Israel performs a full range of surgical operations on the diaphragm, chest wall, trachea and bronchi, lungs, mediastinum, and pleura. Israeli doctors restore normal breathing and relieve attacks and exacerbations of the disease.

Endoscopic techniques in the treatment of lungs in Israel are used to remove foreign bodies, tumors of the trachea and bronchi, to restore the patency of the airways when narrowing, etc. Minimally invasive thoracoscopic techniques have acquired great importance in the pulmonology of this country, which are used for economical organ-preserving operations (removal of cysts and benign tumors) and anatomical resection operations (bilobectomy, pneumonectomy, lobectomy).

Treatment of the lungs and respiratory tract in Israel involves the use of the following methods:

• Photodynamic therapy is a relatively new, unique treatment method based on the use of medications - photosensitizers (light-sensitive substances) and low-intensity laser radiation having a certain wavelength that corresponds to the absorption peak of the photosensitizer. It is carried out in radical lung treatment programs in Israel (for early forms of cancer of the tracheobronchial tree, for multicentric central lung cancer), as well as in palliative programs (for unresectable tumors of the respiratory tract), eliminates the phenomena of dysphagia and respiratory failure.
• Laser therapy is a highly effective method of treatment and rehabilitation of patients with bronchial asthma, pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The effect is exerted on reflex segmental areas and points of the skin, in addition, intravenously and endobronchially. The underlying syndrome is corrected, inflammatory changes and their residual effects resolve.
• Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a field of radiation therapy that uses high-precision radiation. Extracranial stereotactic radiotherapy is prescribed for the treatment of malignant and benign lung tumors of medium and small size. This type of lung treatment in Israel using the CyberKnife system exposes the affected segments to higher doses of radiation compared to classical radiation therapy. CyberKnife allows you to eliminate various pulmonary tumors: at an early and primary stage, as well as secondary, recurrent, peripheral or central forms. This is an alternative for patients who have contraindications to surgery. The method is non-invasive, during irradiation it does not interfere with normal breathing, and is safe for neighboring areas of the body.

In Israeli pulmonology, the field of lung transplantation in cases of incurable acquired and congenital diseases has received high development. The main indicators are pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, and emphysema. Several types of transplantation are performed: partial lung transplant from a relative donor, double lung transplant, artificial lung transplant, lung and heart transplant.

Israeli pulmonology successfully neutralizes diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract. The main thing is to start lung treatment in Israel with highly qualified specialists in a timely manner. This is especially true for children and the elderly, who are most susceptible to such ailments.

It is possible to easily cope with pathology thanks to the prompt involvement of doctors of any profile in the treatment process and the unprecedented equipping of clinics with innovative equipment. For example, the outstanding achievements of thoracic surgery in Israel have become the subject of study for many leading doctors. The country's pulmonology departments immediately took advantage of this advantage and received invaluable assistance from thoracic surgeons. The problems of differential diagnosis and treatment of the respiratory system began to be solved more effectively.

Pulmonology in Israel has always been considered highly developed and today occupies a leading position. The inaccessibility of some complex procedures and operations in other countries attracts a large number of Russians to Israel for lung treatment. Complex therapy at an affordable price against a backdrop of absolute comfort is complemented by developed transport links between Russia and Israel.

Lung treatment in Israel is based on high-precision diagnostics

As a result of the unfavorable environmental situation, the development of a huge number of viruses, and the mass promotion of smoking in the world, the number of diseases of the lungs, bronchi, and trachea began to rapidly increase. These illnesses are difficult for people to tolerate; if not treated correctly, they lead to serious complications and can even lead to death.

When the doctor, after examination, suspects pulmonary fibrosis or emphysema, X-ray examination methods are prescribed. Bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cannot do without spirometry. In order to determine the state of blood flow and ventilation of the lungs, a scanning procedure is performed in Israel.

Bronchoscopy is classified as an invasive research technique. Carry out if there is a suspicion of a malignant tumor, tuberculosis, or the presence of foreign objects in the respiratory tract. In addition, bronchoscopy acts as an endoscopic method for the treatment of lung abscesses in Israel, bronchiectasis, and for the removal of foreign bodies.

A biopsy allows for histological examination and the most accurate diagnosis. Computed tomography makes it possible to analyze the density of lung tissue, measure tidal volume, and monitor treatment.

PET scan detects cancer cells in the respiratory system at a very early stage. Not every clinic can afford such expensive equipment. In Israel, positron emission tomography has become the norm. Moreover, here it was possible to establish a very detailed examination, combining, if necessary, all the advanced methods.

Lung transplantation in Israel

In addition to photodestruction, the use of cyber-knife, organ-preserving, endoscopic, video-thoracoscopic and extracorporeal methods, Israeli doctors perform lung transplantation.

Partial or complete lung transplantation has been actively practiced in Israel for more than 35 years. The main indication is emphysema. This operation is also performed for primary pulmonary hypertension, idiopathic fibrosing alveolitis, and cystic fibrosis. The options may be the following: transplantation of one, both lungs, heart and lung, a lobe of a lung from a relative who agreed to become a donor.

End-stage pulmonary pathology with damage to the left ventricle requires transplantation of the entire lung-heart complex. This type of surgery is also performed for inoperable heart defects.

A lobe of the lung is often transplanted from a living relative to adolescents and children diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. As a rule, one share is taken from donor parents. Thus, the recipient receives 2 lower lobes.

Surgical intervention involves a thoracotomy method with a posterolateral approach. For a bilateral transplant, Israeli surgeons make an incision along the sternum (sternotomy). The affected lung is removed, the trachea is sutured, and the vessels are connected by anastomosis.

The postoperative period consists of a set of procedures to prevent infection, as well as physical therapy and positional drainage. Lung function is assessed by the ability to saturate the blood with oxygen. To check, an arterial blood gas test is done. Using ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy, the condition of the pulmonary artery is determined to detect thromboembolism. Spirography shows the function of external respiration.

After successful lung transplantation in Israel, it is necessary to preserve the donor organ, for which immunosuppressive therapy is prescribed. The survival rate of patients in Israeli clinics is one of the highest in the world, which is facilitated by improved preservation of donor organs. The theoretical and practical basis makes it possible to minimize postoperative complications and, if they occur, to quickly eliminate them.

Rehabilitation after lung surgery in Israel

Rehabilitation activities in this country are carried out very competently. They determine the final result of all lung treatment in Israel. The ability to restore the body increases dramatically when vacationing at the Dead Sea. You just need to first consult with Israeli doctors who pay great attention to rehabilitation. The program is compiled individually for each patient. It consists of breathing exercises, physiotherapeutic procedures, and the use of natural healing factors.

Bottom line

People who really care about their health and want to be sure that it will be in good hands come to Israel for medical help in treating their lungs.
Israeli pulmonology departments employ only qualified specialists with extensive clinical experience in the treatment of various diseases and mastery of the most advanced techniques. High-tech equipment makes it possible to accurately diagnose pulmonary diseases and apply the most effective tactics.

That is why lung treatment in Israel successfully eliminates even the most severe pathologies using the most gentle methods. Israeli pulmonology shows impressive results in the fight against diseases of the respiratory system, such as sarcoidosis, pleurisy, obstructive bronchitis, oncology and various processes accompanied by structural changes in lung tissue and respiratory failure.

Diagnosis of lung pathology in Israel

To accurately determine the patient’s health status, the country’s medical centers always carry out a full diagnosis of the human body, which allows doctors to collect all the necessary data and prescribe the correct treatment, taking into account all the changes and characteristics of the patient’s body. For any examination in Israel, several stages and components can be distinguished.

• Consultation with a qualified specialist in the field - an experienced pulmonologist examines the patient and collects a detailed history. To do this, he asks leading questions that need to be answered as completely and truthfully as possible.
• Laboratory research - this group combines all methods that involve working with biological fluids and secretions, carried out in a laboratory. The patient undergoes a comprehensive blood test (detailed analysis, biochemistry, tests for tumor markers), urine and sputum.
• Instrumental diagnostics – involves examining the patient using special devices. It includes radiography, computed tomography, bronchoscopy and biopsy.

A comprehensive examination in Israeli medical centers for the presence of lung diseases takes no more than four days, but the results of some laboratory tests must wait up to two weeks. All diagnostic procedures are carried out on the most modern equipment and using the latest tools, which eliminates the influence of the human factor, negating the possibility of error.

Treatment methods practiced by pulmonologists

The choice of treatment method in Israel directly depends on the nature of the identified disease. Doctors often use an integrated approach, combining methods to achieve the best effect.

For lung cancer

The most effective treatment for lung cancer is surgery. Israeli pulmonary oncologists prefer minimally invasive techniques that allow preserving the largest amount of healthy tissue and also avoiding significant cosmetic defects.

To treat stage 3-4 lung cancer with metastases, targeted chemotherapy, radiosurgery and laser irradiation are used. It is these innovative techniques that increase the effectiveness of surgical intervention.

Radiation therapy is also actively used by oncologists in the treatment of metastatic lung cancer. Modern devices allow precise irradiation of a tumor without affecting healthy tissue, reducing the number of side effects and the burden on the body.

In 35% of patients coming for lung cancer treatment in Israel, to the Top Ichilov clinic, it turns out that the diagnosis at home was made incorrectly.

Surgical treatment of lung oncology in Israel is carried out using organ-saving operations. Their goal is to maximize preserve healthy tissue lungs and prevent a deterioration in the patient’s quality of life.

As part of a team of specialists involved in the treatment of a patient who has applied for tumors in the lung, includes:

• – Professor I. Ben-Dov, Dr. I. Schwartz;
• thoracic surgeon – Professor J. Paz;
• oncologist-chemotherapist - Professor O. Merimsky and other specialists.

How does lung cancer treatment in Israel differ from treatment in the CIS countries?

1. Accurate diagnosis. In 35% of patients diagnosed with lung oncology who come to Israel from the CIS countries, the diagnosis is not confirmed. This happens for the following reasons:
   • Available the neoplasm is benign and is subject to a completely different treatment in Israel.
   • The neoplasm is malignant, but the type of cancer cells was determined incorrectly, which led to the erroneous prescription of chemotherapy drugs.
   • In some cases, the material on the basis of which the diagnosis was made in the CIS countries is mistakenly taken from another patient.
   • The stage and extent of cancer has been incorrectly determined.
2. Use of PET-CT for diagnosing lung cancer. Positron emission tomography (PET), combined with computed tomography (CT), in Israel is a common diagnostic procedure used everywhere. With the help of PET-CT, a malignant tumor can be recognized at the stage of its formation. This method also allows you to detect metastases and determine their location.
3. Treatment based on genetic mutations. In Israel, lung cancer is tested for mutations in the EGFR, KRAS, and ALK genes. This allows you to select biological drugs that are effective against tumors of this type. Biological treatment is more effective and has fewer side effects than chemotherapy.
4. Individual approach to treatment. When treating lung cancer, an Israeli doctor can deviate from one treatment protocol and combine several protocols, taking into account the characteristics of the patient and the course of the disease.
5. Consultations with doctors all over the world. When making important decisions, an Israeli specialist usually consults with colleagues, including doctors of related specialties. If necessary, he can seek advice from doctors from other Western countries.

• stage and type of lung cancer;
• related lung diseases(chronic bronchitis or);
• possible side effects treatment;
• general patient's health condition.

Surgery for lung cancer

Thoracic oncologist surgeon Top Ichilov Professor J. Paz uses the most modern and personalized lung surgery techniques, including minimally invasive surgical interventions.

Like all things, operations for lung cancer are most successful when performed by specialists with extensive experience in this field.

Surgery is rarely used for treatment small cell lung cancer because this type of cancer spreads quickly to other organs and tissues and does not often occur in the early stages, when the process is limited to the lungs.

The most common types of operations in the treatment of lung cancer at the Top Ichilov Medical Center:

• Wedge resection— removal of a sector of lung tissue with a tumor.
• Lobectomy - removal of a lobe of the lung affected by cancer.
• Segmentectomy or segmental resection- removal of the segment or part of the lobe in which the cancer is located.
• Pneumonectomy - removal of the entire lung.
• Resection of part of the bronchus.

In addition, lymph nodes are often removed during surgery for further microscopic examination. This will help doctors decide whether further treatment is needed after surgery.

Other types of surgical interventions

Sometimes surgery is necessary to correct problems caused by the lung cancer itself or complications of its treatment. In such cases the following may apply:

• Laser surgery, to open the airways.
• Placement of intrabrachial stents, to keep the airways open.
• Cryosurgery to freeze and destroy cancerous tissue.
• Drainage placement to drain accumulated pleural fluid.

The treatment protocol for lung cancer often combines several methods - surgery and chemotherapy, surgery and radiation, and other combinations.

Chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be assigned:

• before surgery to reduce the size of the tumor;
• after surgery to destroy circulating cancer cells that may remain in the body.

Radiation therapy in the presence of a lung tumor

New radiation therapy methods and the skills of our doctors allow us to achieve maximum effect from cancer treatment, ensuring the concentration of rays in the tumor with the least damage to healthy cells.

Radiation therapy may be combined with chemotherapy and/or surgery.

The following methods are used to treat lung cancer in Israel:

• 3D conformal radiation therapy. The combination of several radiation beams coming from different sources significantly reduces the radiation load on surrounding tissues, creating the maximum effect at the design point.
• Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The method of irradiation, before which a simulation is carried out (compiling a three-dimensional model of the tumor) and irradiation is carried out taking into account the specific shape of the tumor.

Chemotherapy

Top Ichilov offers the most modern and. Chemotherapy is often the main treatment for non-small cell lung cancer or advanced cancer.

About 60 different chemotherapy drugs can be used for lung cancer. Their choice depends on the type of tumor, stage of the disease and other factors. The most commonly used drugs are cisplatin, docetaxel, gemcitabine, carboplatin, and vinorelbine.

At small cell cancer lung chemotherapy (in combination with radiotherapy) is used even in the early stages of the disease. In advanced stages of non-small cell lung cancer, chemotherapy is often the mainstay of treatment and significantly improves patient survival and quality of life.

At non-small cell cancer lungs, adjuvant chemotherapy is used after surgery to destroy tumor micrometastases. According to statistics, on Stages 2-3 cancer lung, such chemotherapy increases the 5-year survival rate of patients by 5%.

Neoadjuvant therapy applied before surgery. Its goal is to reduce the size of the tumor so that it is easier to remove.

Typically, the patient is prescribed a combination of several drugs, which are administered through a dropper or prescribed in tablet form. For lung cancer, intravenous drip administration of drugs is often performed. The drugs are administered in courses. After each course, a break is taken for 2-3 weeks to allow the patient’s body to recover. The dosage of drugs is selected individually for each patient.

Targeted therapy for lung cancer

Top Ichilov is one of several cancer centers in the country that is able to offer you targeted therapy as part of the treatment of certain types of lung cancer.

These innovative drugs stop the growth of cancer cells by interacting with certain proteins and receptors in the blood vessels supplying the tumor.

Photodynamic therapy

Injected into the patient's body photosensitive chemical, which is absorbed by cancer cells more than healthy ones. The drug is activated by a laser, which destroys cancer cells.

This type of therapy is usually used for small tumors or to reduce cancer symptoms.

The clinic guarantees high quality lung cancer treatment, since the Top Ichilov Medical Center employs the best and most experienced specialists in Israel, true professionals who will do everything possible for your healing.

In the first place among lung diseases is inflammation, the symptoms of which are manifested in a significant increase in body temperature, redness of the skin, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Without timely treatment, pneumonia is fraught with complications and is therefore very dangerous. Quite common diseases include pulmonary tuberculosis, emphysema, benign and malignant tumor formations, metastases to the lungs of cancerous tumors from other organs. Experts classify vascular diseases into a separate group: pulmonary hypertension (increased pressure in the pulmonary circulation) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots entering the arteries of an organ). The danger of any of these conditions is a strong argument in favor of coming to lung treatment in Israel. NewMed Center will provide the necessary range of organizational services.

Innovative methods of lung examination in Israel

An accurate diagnosis and correct assessment of the relationship between the pathological process in the lungs and the patient’s general condition is the key to effective therapy. Diagnostics and the price of lung treatment in Israel may include the following procedures:

• X-ray, computed tomography

Detection of changes in tissue structure, compactions, hollow areas, accumulations of liquid or air.

• Pleurography

X-ray examination of the condition of the pleural cavity using a contrast agent, detection of purulent pleurisy, pleurobronchial fistulas.

• Spirometry

Measuring the amount of air in the lungs, the rate of exhalation, disturbances may be associated with restriction - a decrease in the elasticity of the lung tissue.

• Sputum analysis

Bacteriological examination for suspected tuberculosis to identify Koch's bacillus.

• D-dimer assay

Assessment of the level of thrombus formation marker, in particular in pulmonary embolism.

• Pleural puncture

Taking a sample from a pathological accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity for subsequent laboratory testing.

• Diagnostic thoracoscopy

Visual examination of the lungs using an endoscopic device that is inserted into the chest cavity through a small puncture.

The latest methods of lung treatment in Israel

As part of the implementation of pulmonology programs for foreign patients, NewMed Center widely uses spa resources of the Dead Sea. According to reviews of lung treatment in Israeli hospitals, staying at this resort speeds up rehabilitation.

In Israel, patients have access to unique pharmacological developments. If it is necessary to use invasive measures, preference is given to gentle techniques, laser and endoscopy are used. The cost of lung treatment in clinics may include the following procedures:

• Laser therapy

For tuberculosis, bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive disease.

• Photodynamic therapy

For early stage lung cancer, respiratory failure, dysphagia.

• Videothoracoscopy

To perform a lobectomy (removal of a lobe of the lung), and some other operations.

• Radiosurgery

For inoperable malignant tumors.

• Lung transplant

For enphysema, fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, oncology.

Doctors' answers to patients' questions

1. Is angiography used in lung diagnostics?

Yes, such a test can be prescribed if thromboembolism is suspected or during planning of surgery to remove a malignant tumor.

2. What is videothoracoscopy?

We are talking about the endoscopic method of examining the pleural cavity or performing surgical manipulations within its limits. A tubular device with a video camera and the necessary surgical instruments are inserted into the anatomical cavity through miniature punctures. Videothoracoscopy is indicated for tumor formations, cancer metastases to the lung, pleurisy, spontaneous pneumothorax, and penetrating chest wounds.
