Treatment methods

Laryngectomy – removal of the larynx is used in the last stages of cancer when the tumor has spread. Perhaps an opening for breathing will be created instead of a larynx.

In a partial laryngectomy, only the affected parts of the larynx are removed, but vocal function is preserved. Surgeons often perform microlaryngoscopic resection – removing the tumor through minimally invasive techniques using a laser or micro-instruments.

In external beam radiation therapy, high-energy rays target the tumor from the outside to destroy cancer cells. The essence of internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy) is the injection of radioactive sources through special catheters.

In systemic chemotherapy, anti-cancer drugs are administered through a vein. They spread throughout the body. Inhibitors block the growth and multiplication of cancer cells, target specific molecular targets.

Targeted therapy blocks proteins that suppress the immune response, helping to activate the immune system to fight cancer cells.

Once a diagnosis is made, the most appropriate treatment plan is chosen, which may include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy. Regular checkups after treatment are important to monitor your health and prevent recurrence.

Hoarseness or complete loss of voice may be the first signs. Pain or discomfort when swallowing may be due to an enlarged tumor. Pain in the larynx or neck area, as well as in the ear area, may be associated with the spread of cancer. The occurrence of chronic coughing or difficulty in breathing may be associated with vocal cord damage.

One of the major risk factors is smoking, which can cause changes in the vocal cords. Drinking alcohol in large amounts can increase the risk of developing laryngeal cancer. Vocal cord problems appear with age and if there is a genetic predisposition.

Diagnosis of vocal cord cancer

The MDI Clinic physician will interview the patient to identify symptoms, when they occur, and risk factors. Examination of the larynx using a special mirror allows you to assess visible changes.

Laryngoscopy involves inserting a flexible or rigid tube with a video camera through the nose or mouth to examine the larynx and vocal cords. If there are suspicious changes, a biopsy – a tissue sample for detailed examination under a microscope – is taken. It is performed with a special needle or surgically.

CT and MRI scans can be used to accurately determine the size of the tumor, its structure and spread. Positron emission tomography (PET) scans can reveal areas of increased cancer cell activity. Ultrasound can help evaluate lymph nodes in the neck area for metastases.

After treatment, rehabilitation is important, including classes with a speech therapist to restore the voice, and physical exercises to restore laryngeal function. Psychological support helps patients cope with the emotional aspects of treatment.

    My cancer treatment in Turkey was an incredible experience. From the excellent medical expertise to the individualized attention to my needs, every detail was taken care of.

    After being diagnosed with cancer, he decided to go to Korea for treatment. I cannot overemphasize the level of care and professionalism I encountered there. The team helped not only with medical issues, but also with adaptation in a foreign country. Thank you for the new hope and encouragement!

    "My children took me to doctors with my leg, but we have a lot of lunatics who can't tell us anything. When I found out that my sons wanted to take me to Israel for treatment, I protested, but it was expensive! But everything went quickly, replaced my joint, did not keep me in the hospital not one extra day. Prices are normal for such quality, I began to walk without pain. That's what smart doctors mean."
  • ANDREI

    "I went to doctors for several months, they could not diagnose me, as is usually the case with us. A friend advised me to come here, he had already been treated here himself. From myself I can say the attitude on 5 +! They ordered a ticket and found me a place to stay at a normal price. In the hospital they examined me, analyzed me, analyzed all kinds of devices and diagnosed me. I have already undergone a course of chemotherapy, and if I need check-ups, I will apply only here. And what would happen to me if I continued to be examined in our hospitals? It's scary to even think about

    Really enjoyed the MDI clinic. Great attitude towards patients. Applied with the problem of psoriasis (>10 years trying to cure and nothing helps). I was worried about how everything would go, as I was flying from another country, but before arrival everything was discussed with me: what to do, how much time of stay will be needed, cost, accommodation, absolutely everything and I was not so worried. Upon arrival I was met, driven to the hotel and was in constant contact with me. Also gave a local SIM card for communication and internet, drove and accompanied everywhere. Was in Tel Aviv for 3 days and during this time visited the doctor, did all the necessary tests and prescribed treatment. After leaving, I am still in touch with the curators and doctors to find out how the treatment is going, whether the medication is helping, my general health, whether I need to send more medication, etc. I am very glad that I visited MDI clinic, as it was the first time I saw the effect of treatment and that it actually helps. Words can't describe the emotions and feelings when you realize that you will finally be healthy and you can no longer be self-conscious about your skin, wear open clothes, put your hair up however you want, etc.

    We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your concern. From the first contact to the last minute of being in Israel, we constantly felt cared for. Meeting at the airport, organization of accommodation, support during the quarantine, useful household advice, help in buying food, accompaniment to procedures and consultations with doctors, help in buying medicines, a clear plan of action and constant information about the progress of treatment - our stay in Tel Aviv was so competently organized that the whole treatment took place in an atmosphere of confidence, calmness and relaxation. There was no stress of being in another country, even though the reason for coming to Israel was not a fun one - my father's metastatic prostate cancer. Special thanks to Catherine, for her heartfelt attitude and involvement with us. Thank you so much! Success, prosperity and grateful patients!
