The essentials
Uterine cancer is a general term for malignant tumors of the body of the uterus (endometrial cancer) and of the cervix. Warning signs include bleeding or spotting between periods or after menopause and pain in the lower abdomen. Cervical cancer is often found during a routine screening.
Treatment of uterine cancer in Israel is planned by a gynecologic oncologist together with other oncologists. In the early stages the main method is surgery, often minimally invasive. Radiation therapy, chemotherapy and hormone therapy are given when indicated, alone or in combination. We help you get the clinic doctors' opinion before you travel, compare programs and arrange treatment.

Treatment of uterine cancer in Israel: what are the modern methods of diagnosis and therapy?
Treatment of uterine cancer in Israel is one of the most effective thanks to modern methods of examining patients, therapy, and the experience of doctors. Oncologists at Israeli clinics use advanced chemotherapy drugs, the latest generation of radiation therapy equipment, and innovative hormonal and immunotherapy.
Foreign patients often choose Israeli hospitals for cancer diagnosis, surgery and treatment. Among the main advantages of uterine cancer treatment in Israel:
Prompt organization of treatment (3-4 days). This is achievable because Israeli hospital departments quickly receive requests and medical documents from Experts Medical coordinators. Most patients from Eastern Europe and Central Asia do not require a visa.
Accurate diagnosis of diseases. Large medical centers and laboratories in Israel are equipped with modern diagnostic devices, which are updated every 2-3 years. Technical support from manufacturing companies guarantees the absence of operation failures.
Experienced oncologists with a worldwide reputation. Many highly specialized doctors in Israel who see foreign patients have 15-20 years of practical experience. They undergo training and improve their qualifications in the best medical institutions in the USA and Western Europe. They are members of American and international oncology associations. This allows doctors to exchange experience with foreign colleagues and improve the treatment of uterine cancer in Israel.
Access to innovative cancer treatment. This gives hope for recovery to patients even with severe forms of cancer. New drugs are being tested in research centers. After they pass the control of the Israeli Ministry of Health, these drugs become available to patients in local hospitals. After a while, doctors in other countries begin to use them.
Patients need to know! According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cervical cancer is one of those types of cancer that responds well to treatment. Provided that it is detected at an early stage and treated properly. Uterine cancer detected in advanced stages can also be kept under control through innovative treatment and palliative care.
How is uterine cancer diagnosed in Israeli clinics?
To accurately diagnose uterine cancer, the following methods are used:
colposcopy – visual examination of the cervix and vagina using a special instrument – a colposcope;
a biopsy is a procedure in which the doctor takes a sample of suspicious tissue for further analysis;
Ultrasound is a technique that uses ultrasound waves to create images of internal organs;
3 Tesla MRI is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of internal structures;
PET-CT is a study that uses radioactive substances to visualize internal organs to detect tiny metastases up to 2 mm.
For laboratory tests, patients undergo blood and urine tests. If necessary, doctors can prescribe a test for tumor markers. This helps to select treatment options for each case of uterine cancer more accurately.
Is there non-surgical treatment for cervical cancer in Israel?
Often, patients who find out about their diagnosis in the hospital at their place of residence come to Israeli clinics. To conduct additional examinations and effective treatment, they turn to Israeli specialists. The main reason why patients choose cervical cancer treatment in Israel is access to modern medical technologies.
The treatment method for cervical cancer in Israel is personalized and depends on the type and degree of the tumor process. In the earliest stages of the disease, surgery or a combination of radiation and chemotherapy may be used. In more advanced stages, the main treatment usually combines radiation and chemotherapy.
Key treatment methods for cervical cancer in Israel:
Chemotherapy is the administration of drugs that have a detrimental effect on cancer cells. What distinguishes Israeli chemotherapy is that only high-quality medicines of the latest generations are used for patients. They do not cause severe side effects. Chemotherapy, as the only treatment method, is used for advanced cervical cancer.
Photodynamic therapy is a nanotechnological method for treating malignant tumors. Therapy involves the use of light-sensitive drugs that accumulate in tumor tissues. Then, under the influence of laser light, cancer cells are destroyed. The advantages of the procedure are non-invasiveness and the absence of damage to the skin.
Radiation therapy is the effect on a tumor using ionizing radiation. In clinics, radiation therapy is carried out using the latest generation TrueBeam installations, which have increased radiation accuracy and safety.
Targeted therapy – special drugs target proteins in cancer cells that promote their growth and metastasis. Targeted drugs destroy or slow the growth of tumors in the uterus. Some targeted therapy drugs, such as monoclonal antibodies, have multiple effects on cancer and may also be considered immunotherapy because they boost the patient’s immune system.
Immunotherapy is the use of drugs to boost a person’s own immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells more effectively. Immunotherapy drugs usually target specific proteins that enhance the immune response.
The effectiveness of treatment for cervical cancer in Israel reaches 97% with early detection of the disease. Preference is given to gentle techniques that allow maximum preservation of the uterus and its functionality.
Patients who come to Israel for treatment receive a preliminary consultation with an oncologist and together with him choose treatment methods.
How is surgical treatment of uterine cancer performed in Israel using modern technologies?
Advanced surgical techniques provide various surgical options that are available to foreign patients for the effective treatment of uterine cancer in Israel.
To treat precancerous conditions of the cervix, one of two types of procedures is used:
Ablation – destroys the affected cervical tissue with cold temperatures or laser;
Conization is an excisional surgery in which the doctor cuts out and removes an area of pathological tissue.
Cryosurgery
This is a type of ablation in which the doctor inserts a metal medical device into the cervix. By directly affecting the area with the tumor, it is frozen.
Cryosurgery is often used to treat cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). The procedure can be performed in a clinic without hospitalization.
Laser ablation
The doctor uses a medical device to direct a focused laser beam through the vagina to vaporize abnormal cells. The procedure may be performed in a doctor’s office under local anesthesia or in an operating room under general anesthesia.
Brachytherapy
This is a type of radiation therapy in which the source of radiation is in direct contact with the tumor. Vaginal brachytherapy is often used to help prevent the recurrence of endometrial cancer in the upper part of the vagina after hysterectomy. The principle of the method is that an applicator containing radioactive material is inserted into the vagina.
Conization
The doctor removes a cone-shaped piece of abnormal tissue from the cervix. This tissue, removed in the cone, includes the area where cervical cancer often develops. Cone biopsy is used not only to diagnose precancerous conditions but also It can also be used as a treatment, as it can sometimes wholly remove early cancers. The procedure can be carried out in different ways:
using a surgical blade (cold knife cone biopsy);
using a laser beam (laser conization);
using a thin wire heated with electricity (loop electrosurgical excision procedure, LEEP or LEETZ).
What is surgery for invasive cervical cancer?
In modern medicine, doctors perform the following two main operations to treat invasive cervical cancer:
Hysterectomy (simple or radical)
Trachelectomy.
Depending on the patient’s condition and her desire to become pregnant and have a child, doctors decide on the method of removing the cancerous tumor. The choice of technique is also influenced by the aggressiveness of the cancer and the degree of its spread throughout the body.
Simple hysterectomy
In a simple hysterectomy, the doctor removes the uterus (both the uterine body and the cervix) but not the structures adjacent to the organ (the parametrium and uterosacral ligaments). The vagina and pelvic lymph nodes are not removed. The ovaries are usually retained unless there is another reason to remove them.
Such treatment in Israel is most often carried out laparoscopically or with the help of a robotic assistant. This minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues. As a rule, hospitalization lasts no more than 2 days.
Radical hysterectomy
During the operation, the surgeon removes the uterus along with the tissues next to it (parametrium and uterosacral ligaments), the cervix and the upper part (about 2-3 cm) of the vagina next to the organ. The ovaries are not removed unless there is another medical reason. A radical hysterectomy removes more tissue than a simple hysterectomy, so your hospital stay may be more extended. At this time, some nearby lymph nodes will be removed and checked for cancer.
This procedure is usually performed through an incision in the abdomen (open surgery). This sometimes involves removing some of the pelvic lymph nodes (lymph node dissection).
Radical hysterectomy can also be performed using laparoscopy or robotic assist. In this case, the patient takes into account the cost of treatment for cervical cancer in Israel and, together with the doctor, makes the final choice of the surgical method.
Trachelectomy
Trachelectomy surgery allows women to undergo treatment without losing their ability to have children. The intervention is carried out either through the vagina or through the abdominal cavity, sometimes using laparoscopy.
During this procedure, the doctor removes the cervix and the upper part of the vagina but not the body of the uterus itself. The surgeon then places a permanent “purse string” suture into the uterine cavity to close the opening of the organ, as the cervix normally does.
Nearby lymph nodes are also removed using a laparoscope.
After a trachelectomy, some women are able to carry their pregnancy to term and give birth to a healthy baby by cesarean section. However, women who have this surgery may have a higher risk of miscarriage.
Pelvic exenteration
This operation is performed in special cases when cervical cancer recurs. The surgeon removes all the same organs and tissues as in a radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection. In addition, the bladder, vagina, rectum and part of the colon are also removed, depending on where the cancer has spread.
Lymph node mapping
This is a procedure in which the surgeon removes only those lymph nodes where the cancer first appeared. To do this, the doctor injects a radioactive substance or a special dye into the cervix at the beginning of the operation. Lymphatic vessels will carry these substances along the same path as cancer. The first lymph node) that receives the dye or radioactive substance will be the sentinel node. Removing only one or a few lymph nodes reduces the risk of side effects from surgery, such as leg swelling (lymphedema).
Sentinel lymph node mapping may be considered in some cases for the treatment of stage I cervical cancer. It is best used for tumors smaller than 2 cm.
What is the cost of cervical cancer treatment in Israel?
The exact price for all medical services will depend on the volume of procedures, including diagnostics. To select the most appropriate treatment option, Israeli oncologists may perform additional tests, which will affect the overall cost of cervical cancer treatment in Israel.
For example, FoundationOne Heme is available in Israeli hospitals. This is a special tumor test to check for genetic mutations. The study allows us to determine which targeted or immunotherapy drug will be appropriate in each specific case.
Examples of prices for medical procedures in Israeli clinics:
MRI – from $800;
removal of a cervical tumor – about $13,000;
chemotherapy – from $6000.

I was treated for endometrial cancer in Russia for a long time, the doctors said that I had a late stage and refused to operate. So I went to the Israeli clinic Assuta. After the examination, the specialists performed a minimally invasive operation to remove the uterus. It was successful, I did not notice any complications, so I am very pleased with the result. In parallel, I underwent a course of radiation treatment, I was told that this would improve the prognosis. Hope the disease doesn’t come back. And if it comes back, now I know where to go for treatment.
