Brachytherapy in Jerusalem is relevant for malignant tumors of various forms and stages. It is performed by radiologists whose authority is recognized at the international level. The procedure is a local effect of radioactive substances on tumor cells, which advantageously distinguishes it from classic radiation therapy. Brachytherapy can be temporary or permanent. In the first case, radioactive material is delivered to the neoplasm via a catheter, which is then removed; in the second, «seeds» are introduced into the tumor and remain there permanently. After a few months, their radioactivity is neutralized.

Brachytherapy is performed by a whole team of doctors – oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists and junior medical staff. Before the procedure, the patient is prescribed various studies – X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, MSCT, laboratory tests. All of them are carried out using ultra-modern equipment, instruments and reagents.

Penetrating the tumor, radioactive particles destroy the DNA of malignant cells and stop their division. Along with diseased tissues, healthy ones are also exposed, but they are characterized by greater resistance and less vulnerability.

In addition to brachytherapy, other progressive cancer treatment tactics are used in Jerusalem. They are often combined with each other, supplemented or changed as dynamics improve. Doctors of local clinics have reached significant heights in cancer treatment, so stable regression of tumor growth is achieved here in about 87% of cases.
