Treatment methods
Surgery is considered the most effective way to target the cancerous tumor. Oncologists use high-precision equipment and robotics. MDI Clinic removes neoplasms efficiently and without traumatization.
Radiation therapy at MDI Clinic is performed thanks to the latest equipment and state-of-the-art high-performance technologies. Thanks to them, it is possible to irradiate tumor foci with minimal impact on surrounding tissues.
Remote radiotherapy is used to shrink the tumor mass without the use of surgery. The latest equipment is characterized by the most precise radiation and minimal damage to healthy tissue.
Chemotherapy is administered before surgery to reduce the size of the neoplasm and facilitate surgical removal. The peculiarity of this procedure is the use of low-toxic chemopreparations that do not cause side effects.
What are the dangers of benign meningioma?
In the early stages, benign tumors do not metastasize or disrupt the brain (brain or spinal cord). Often patients who are diagnosed with a routine MRI or CT scan do not rush into treatment, believing that a benign cancer will not affect their quality of life.
But the meningioma continues to grow. Depending on the location of the tumor, it squeezes brain structures, causing more serious symptoms. Therefore, even benign cancers need to be screened and treated.
Meningioma diagnosis
In an Israeli clinic “MDI“ provides a complete diagnosis of neoplasms:
- Consultation and examination with specialist(s), with assessment of memory, vision, hearing, psycho-emotional state, reflexes and coordination. Collection of medical history and blood and urine tests will be mandatory.
- An electroencephalogram is a test of brain activity.
- Angiography is a study with contrast to find out how much the tumor is supplied from the brain’s circulatory system.
- MRI and/or CT scan to localize the meningioma.
- Biopsy to determine benign or malignancy.
Meningioma is malignant in only 10-15% of cases, but that doesn’t mean it can be ignored and untreated.
How to cure meningioma and what is the prognosis?
The prognosis is positive because benign cancer responds well to chemotherapy, radiation and rarely recurs. The treatment plan is customized for each patient, the main methods are as follows:
- Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that stops tumor growth.
- Radiation therapy offers a special type of radiation that destroys cancer cells. For meningiomas, narrowly focused radiation is applied only to the area of the mass.
- Surgical intervention. Meningiomas can be removed completely during surgery if cellular localization permits.
The age of meningioma detection is after 40 years of age. Often patients are hesitant to undergo radical (surgery or radiation) treatments. But it directly threatens health and life, because there is a possibility of tumor degeneration into malignant.Welcome to the clinic “MDI“ in Israel: the best neurosurgeons and oncologists will help with meningioma diagnosis and treatment.
