Personalized Breast Cancer Treatment in Israel: Your Individual Path to Recovery
Good news: Over the past decades, the chances of a complete recovery from breast cancer in Israel have significantly improved. This progress has been made possible thanks to scientific breakthroughs, innovative treatment approaches, and the introduction of personalized medicine.
Today, breast cancer treatment in Israel goes far beyond standard protocols. Our oncologists aim to prescribe not the most aggressive treatment, but the most effective and appropriate therapy for each individual patient—taking into account the tumor type, genetic profile, age, disease stage, and other important factors.
What Is Personalized Treatment?
Personalized treatment means an individualized approach for every patient. It begins with an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis, including:
- The type and subtype of the tumor
- Hormone receptor status (ER, PR)
- Genetic mutations (such as BRCA1 or BRCA2)
- Molecular profiling of the tumor
- Tumor Sensitivity Test to all Existing Drugs
The goal is to avoid overtreatment and apply only those therapies that truly improve prognosis and increase the chance of a full recovery.
Challenges of the Standard Approach
Traditional treatment often involves:
- Unnecessary chemotherapy
- Prolonged hormone therapy
- A “one-size-fits-all” treatment plan
But each tumor behaves differently. Even patients with the same diagnosis may require completely different therapies. Israeli oncologists specialize in tailoring treatment plans to each case—minimizing side effects without compromising outcomes.
Early Detection and Genetic Testing: The Foundation of Success
Effective treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis. In Israel, doctors use advanced tools such as:
- Mammography, MRI, and PET-CT — to detect tumors early and assess disease spread
- Molecular oncotests (e.g., Oncotype DX, EndoPredict) — to evaluate the need for chemotherapy and its likely effectiveness
- BRCA genetic testing — crucial for women with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer
Tailored Treatment Just for You
After a thorough evaluation, your doctor will recommend an individualized treatment plan. This may include:
- Surgery — ranging from lumpectomy (breast-conserving) to total mastectomy
- Radiation therapy — to reduce the risk of local recurrence
- Systemic therapy, such as:
- Hormonal therapy for hormone-sensitive tumors
- Targeted therapy for HER2-positive cancers
- Immunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer
- Chemotherapy, only when truly needed
- Any of the above options, based on the results of the tumor sensitivity test to specific drugs
Thanks to advanced molecular diagnostics, many patients can safely avoid toxic chemotherapy, reducing side effects without affecting survival rates.
Personalization = Better Outcomes
Every woman is unique. So is every tumor. That’s why, in Israel, we approach treatment with a deep understanding of both the disease and the person. This isn’t just treatment—it’s a highly personalized plan designed just for you, based on cutting-edge science and compassionate care.
