Treatment methods

Used to kill cancer cells in the body with drugs that affect their division and growth. Chemotherapy may be given before or after surgery.

External beam radiation therapy is used to destroy the tumor using high-energy rays directed at the affected area.

Internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy) involves placing radioactive sources directly into the tumor, providing a more precise exposure.

Depending on the size and spread of the tumor, doctors may remove the affected salivary glands and surrounding tissue. If there are metastases in the lymph nodes, lymphadenectomy is performed – removal of the affected areas.

Microsurgical techniques include rganosuppressive surgeries, including salivary gland reconstruction, are used to preserve function and aesthetics.

Symptoms of salivary gland cancer may include swelling or thickening in the salivary gland area, pain or discomfort when chewing, feeling nodules or lumps under the skin, swelling of the face or neck, fatigue, and weight loss for no apparent reason.

The risk of the disease increases with age, especially after the age of 60. Smoking tobacco in any form increases the likelihood of developing cancer not only of the salivary glands but also of other organs.

Excessive alcohol consumption is also associated with an increased risk of the disease. High dose radiation to the head and neck may increase the risk of salivary gland cancer. Certain genetic syndromes and chronic salivary gland diseases may be associated with increased risk.

Diagnosis of salivary gland cancer

The doctor conducts a visual inspection, assesses the condition of the face, neck, soft tissues in the area of salivary glands. The patient talks about symptoms, chronic conditions, and risk factors.

Ultrasound allows you to assess the size of the tumor, its structure, and its relationship to surrounding tissues. Magnetic resonance imaging provides detailed images to help determine tumor spread and metastasis.

A CT scan provides a clearer view of the tumor’s structure and its interaction with surrounding organs. Positron emission tomography (PET-CT) can assess tumor activity and detect even early metastases.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy examines the chemical composition of the tumor, adding information about its nature. Examination of a tissue sample taken from a tumor can accurately diagnose cancer and determine its type.

General and biochemical blood tests help to identify changes in the body associated with the disease. Endoscopy allows you to examine the inside of the salivary glands, clarify the nature of the tumor and disease. Radiography is used to detect metastases in the lungs and bones.

    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.

    "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
  • Irina Kucherenko

    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!
