We received a detailed consultation with Dr. Pelles Sharon and her assistant Denis. They explained everything, gave me a treatment plan, and the doctor was very attentive to details. We are very grateful for the small chance that these doctors gave us. I would also like to note the work of the coordinator, Yulia.

• 11 reviews

The surgeons apply an innovative surgical method of IRE (Irreversible Electroporation) or NanoKnife, as well as the Intrabeam System (intraoperative radiation). These original methods do not require application of a scalpel as far they are targeted and dotted methods of liver cancer treatment. For instance, NanoKnife is characterized by minimal injury rate and high-precision performance, minimizing postsurgical complications for the patient. Oncologists use it to destroy cancer cells under the impact of specific electrical impulses.

Main surgical methods of liver cancer treatment in Assuta are the following:

  • At the 1-2 stages of cancer with a small tumor and without metastasis resection is performed by means of Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) or NanoKnife.
  • At the 2 and 3 stages of liver cancer wide excision of the liver (about its half) - hemihepatectomy - is conducted.
  • At the severe stage of the disease the removal of the liver, duodenum, part of the stomach and pancreas are carried.
  • Complete liver transplantation.

  • Liver treatment centers’ accreditation. Choose the hospitals which are accredited at the international level. For instance, JCI (Joint Commission International) certificate confirms the compliance of medical centers with the world standards.
Experience of liver cancer specialist. Learn CV of a doctor who will develop the liver cancer treatment plan. A specialist needs to have certificates and practices in top liver cancer centers. Reviews of the patients can also give information about the doctor’s professionalism. Treatment options applied in the best hospitals for liver cancer. Leading centers offer a wide range of procedures to treat liver cancer. In most cases, a combination of therapies is used. The liver cancer treatment cost. The high price is not an indicator of quality in top liver cancer centers. For instance, in Turkey or India it is possible to receive the best treatment for liver cancer 30-50% cheaper than in Germany or Korea. The deal is all the best liver cancer treatment centers work according to the same treatment protocols, but the price police in the countries differs.

Best treatment options for liver cancer

What is the best treatment for liver cancer is possible to determine only after the complete diagnostics.

Liver cancer is a quite specific oncological disease, and the therapies are chosen only individually for each case.

The diagnostic procedures include:

  • blood tests
  • imaging tests (ultrasound, CT, MRI or PET-CT)
  • biopsy (removing a liver tissue sample).
