pancreatic cancer

I sought a second opinion and received a detailed and honest review of my case. Dr. Wolf explained the options available to me and what each of them could lead to. It is nice to deal with a doctor who has a deep understanding of the issue and is genuinely interested in helping.

stomach cancer

I went to Dr. Ido Wolf with a diagnosis of stomach cancer. His approach is amazing - it's not just standard treatment, it's the kind of thing where you feel that your treatment is completely customized to you. The doctor suggested a course using modern immunotherapeutic drugs, and thanks to this I have significantly reduced side effects compared to the way I was treated before, the same chemo was hitting my body many times harder. I would also like to note the attention of Dr. Wolf and the whole team to details: they always kept me informed about every step, explained how exactly the drugs would work, what the expected result would be. Already after a couple of months I felt improvement, and even my tests began to show positive dynamics. I am very grateful to Dr. Wolf and his team for their professionalism and support! In case of deterioration I will go straight to him and only to him!

Ido Wolf’s research addresses a wide range of issues related to oncology, including molecular mechanisms and clinical aspects. Several key areas can be distinguished in his work:

Oncology and COVID-19: Several articles explore the specifics of oncology practice and treatment of cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact of the virus on disease course, the efficacy of vaccination, and the use of telemedicine in the challenging pandemic environment.
Personalized Therapies and Biomarkers: Wolf is actively studying molecular markers, such as the hormone Klotho, to develop personalized therapies and predict outcomes in breast cancer and other cancers. For example, his work shows how lower levels of Klotho in the blood are associated with more aggressive forms of tumors.
Oncogenesis and Genetic Mechanisms: Wolf’s research examines genetic mutations and mechanisms that affect the resistance of tumors to therapy. For example, mutations in estrogen receptors are associated with treatment resistance in hormone-dependent breast cancer.
Emerging Technologies in Oncology: Several publications discuss innovative approaches, including artificial intelligence and data analytics, to improve diagnosis and the selection of therapeutic regimens, especially in the treatment of lung cancer.
Immunotherapy and side effects: Wolf’s research includes work on side effects of immunotherapy, such as cardiotoxicity, and the effects of drugs and complementary agents such as medical cannabis on tumor treatment.
