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. A very sensitive, empathetic specialist, she was able to organize everything quickly. Thanks a lot!

FAQ about Rectal cancer Treatment in Israel

Best hospitals for rectal cancer treatment are presented below. The list is based on patient’s reviews and Bookimed expertise opinion. International patients choose these clinics due to the following reasons:

  • High success rate. 88-92% is a 5-year survival rate for 1-3 stages rectal cancer according to cancer.net statistics.
  • Effective surgical methods. Specialists perform open rectal cancer surgeries and minimally invasive techniques to cure rectal cancer. The last ones are safer, less traumatic, and don’t require long hospital stay.
  • New therapies. Doctors apply targeted therapy to destroy cancer cells without damage to healthy ones and immunotherapy which boosts the patient’s immune system to fight cancer. Both treatments cause fewer side effects compared to traditional chemo.
  • Treatment of metastatic rectal cancer. The medical centers below provide HIPEC for metastatic cancer – chemo drugs heated up to 42°C and put into the abdomen where a tumor is located. HIPEC targets only affected area in the abdominal cavity and causes less severe side effects on the whole body.

Top 5 tips to pick the best hospital for rectal cancer

To choose the most appropriate medical center for rectal cancer treatment, take into account the following factors:

  • Hospital’s accreditation. All world-class medical facilities have world-renowned accreditations and certificates for high-quality healthcare and medical services.
  • Doctors’ experience. Read specialists CVs on our website. Be sure the doctors have many years of experience, numerous certificates, awards, and positive reviews.
  • Access to new therapies. Check what innovative treatments are applied in a chosen hospital. Only the best rectal cancer treatment are available in the centers listed below.
  • Patients’ reviews. Check feedback of people who have already got rectal cancer treatment in the hospital you are interested in.

Is rectal cancer curable?

Survival rates for rectal cancer depend on several factors including its stage. For example, 88% is a 5-year survival rate for patients with 0-1 stages. 70% is a 5-year survival rate for a patient with stages 2-3. The positive outcome is possible when an experienced doctor makes a correct and accurate treatment plan.

What is the best treatment for rectal cancer?

Best rectal cancer treatment centers provide the following methods:

  • Chemotherapy & radiotherapy. These both treatments remain high-priority ones to treat rectal cancer at each stage. Precisely implemented therapies provide survival rate up to 80%.
  • HIPEC.The best rectal cancer treatment centers provide HIPEC to treat patients with metastasis in the abdomen. During this procedure, chemo drugs are heated up to 42°C and delivered to the affected tissue — they attack cancer cells directly without negative impact on the whole body.
  • Abdominoperineal resection (APR) is a surgical procedure for partial or complete rectum removal to treat rectal cancer. It is applied for 1-3 stages of the disease. Recovery takes 3-6 weeks
  • Colostomy. If a patient with rectal cancer requires complete rectum resection, a surgeon performs permanent colostomy — an opening in the abdominal cavity to keep stool out of the colon.
  • Minimally invasive surgeries. Specialists from the clinics in a list perform laparoscopic procedures which promote easier postoperative period with fewer complications. Such surgical methods are usually used for 0-2 stages. For instance, local transanal resection, a minimally invasive surgery, is performed for 1 stage rectal cancer — the procedure causes less pain and no scars because it is conducted through natural opening.
  • Immunotherapy & targeted therapy. These treatment options are applied for difficult cases when conventional chemo does not work. Immunotherapy drugs awake the patient’s immunity to affect cancer cells with fewer side effects. Targeted therapy blocks malignant cells, stops their growth, and then destroys them.

Is immunotherapy an effective option to treat rectal cancer?

Immunotherapy is applied for patients with metastatic, hard-to-remove, and relapsed rectal cancer. If a tumor is resistant to chemo drugs, a doctor may prescribe immunotherapy. Such a treatment is available in most of clinics listed on this page.

What are 3 the best rectal cancer hospitals?

Top 3 rectal cancer hospitals’ rating is based on Bookimed expert opinion and patients reviews:

  • Quiron. Doctors apply laparoscopic procedures (minimally invasive techniques) to treat rectal cancer. 80% is a success rate after laparoscopy at Quiron. Only 20% of patients require a colostomy bag (an opening to keep the stool out). Due to this technique, the recovery gets faster and the patient’s quality of life has been improved significantly.
  • Solingen. The hospital provides advanced options for rectal cancer treatment in Germany. Prof. Boris Pfaffenbach is a leading expert at Solingen specialized in oncology including rectal cancer. Prof. Pfaffenbach provides surgical treatment of malignant tumors of the colon and rectum. The Oncology Department of Solingen is certified by the German Cancer Society, the largest expert cancer organization in Germany.
  • Asklepios Barmbek. The hospital specializes in metastatic cancer treatment and provides minimally invasive surgeries for early-stage rectal cancer.
