Cancer Diagnostics and Prevention Center

Every third person will get cancer during their lifetime. Early detection of various types of oncology reduces the mortality rate, in some cases up to 90%, significantly improves the response to treatment, significantly reduces the cost of therapy and improves the quality of life of patients. In addition, 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by simple lifestyle changes, so it is recommended to begin medical monitoring from the age of 20. Based on this, the Comprehensive Cancer Diagnostics and Prevention Center was created.

The center is the first of its kind in Israel and one of the few in the world. The center is innovative and unique in its concept, within its framework, comprehensive research is carried out for the diagnosis and prevention of oncological diseases, as well as provides individual counseling. The tests are aimed at diagnosing and detecting 11 most common types of cancer, including skin cancer, oral cavity, breast, ovarian, uterine, cervical, testicular, prostate, lung, enlarged lymph nodes and thyroid cancer.

The center is intended for the general population, and especially for people in risk groups, such as smokers, people exposed to the sun, chemicals, obese people, those with a family history of diseases and many others. In case of a family history of cancer, we can refer you to the appropriate specialists. Each subject will undergo all or part of the tests, depending on his health condition and the doctor’s diagnosis.

The purpose of a visit to the center is to identify risk factors for the development of diseases, prevent further development of cancer and detect cancerous conditions at early stages. However, current medical knowledge does not allow us to prevent all types of cancer or even detect existing tumors at all their stages. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the prevention of the development of a disease in your body or detect it at an early stage in an absolutely certain way.

The center combines all diagnostic and preventive procedures under one roof, thanks to which all tests for the early detection of 11 most common types of cancer that can be detected in accessible, effective and relatively inexpensive ways are performed within a few hours:

• Melanoma.
• Oral cavity cancer.
• Thyroid cancer.
• Breast cancer.
• Lung cancer.
• Ovarian cancer.
• Uterine cancer.
• Cervical cancer.
• Prostate cancer.
• Colon cancer.
• Ilea cancer.
• Testicular cancer.

Screening program:

1. Upon admission to the center, patients fill out three detailed questionnaires that help to create a disease exposure and risk map for each patient individually by identifying risk factors based on health, nutrition, and mental state.
2. Later, doctors with expertise in the relevant fields perform blood tests, imaging, and a comprehensive examination, as well as an interview with the center’s nutritionist. All this in one fell swoop, within a few hours (details below).
3. At the end of the day, a debriefing is held with one of the center’s senior doctors. The results of the full screening are sent to the patient once all the tests are ready and the specialists have written a final letter with recommendations. If a cancerous or precancerous process is detected, the patient is referred for further treatment to the appropriate specialist in the specialized department of our medical center.
4. The uniqueness of the new center is in the interdisciplinary integrative approach, which actually allows all research to be concentrated under one roof. This will allow you to fully experience any innovations in the field of early diagnosis and prevention of cancer. The center also provides online medicine (ZOOM).

Detailed schedule of the diagnostic day:

1. Taking blood for complex laboratory tests, which include: blood test, sugar level, lipid profile, thyroid function (TSH), CRP test, which predicts various types of cancer, and inflammation indicators.
2. Measuring blood pressure and pulse (on both arms).
3. Meeting with a clinical nutritionist to change your lifestyle and receive recommendations on proper nutrition for the prevention of cancer. BMI, circumference and fat percentage test.
4. Meetings with specialist doctors of the Center for Cancer Diagnostics and Prevention and mapping of personal risk factors for the development of oncopathology.
5. Colon cancer prevention, meeting with a gastroenterologist – identification of possible risk factors and recommendations for examination. Usually a colonoscopy is not performed on the same day due to the need for preliminary preparation, but if possible, our specialists can perform it on the same day.
6. Early detection of lung cancer (in heavy smokers) – low-dose CT of the chest (after discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the test with patients).
7. Early detection of breast cancer – determination of a woman’s personal risk of developing the disease (Tyrer scale). Manual examination by a mammologist, mammography, ultrasound of the mammary glands (if necessary and for an additional fee). Referral for MRI of patients in the very high-risk group.
8. Early detection of testicular cancer – manual examination by a urologist or surgeon and, if necessary, referral for ultrasound of the testicles.
9. Early detection of prostate cancer – PSA, free PSA and the ratio between them. Rectal examination by a urologist or surgeon.
10. Early detection of uterine and ovarian cancer – a pelvic ultrasound will be performed by a gynecologist.
11. Prevention of cervical cancer – a Pap smear and ultrasound will be performed by a gynecologist. If necessary, a referral for HPV vaccination will be given.
12. Early detection of oral cancer – examination by a dentist.
13. Early detection of thyroid cancer – physical examination and, if necessary, a referral for neck ultrasound.
14. Prevention of skin cancer – physical examination by an experienced dermatologist using a dermatoscope.
15. Continuation of the meeting with the genetic counselor, adding recommendations for genetic tests or additional medical tests in accordance with family history.
16. If necessary, consultation with specialist doctors, such as: oncologist, neurosurgeon, diagnostician, etc.
17. In case of detection of a disease, we will definitely conduct the necessary examination and refer to the most suitable specialist in this field.
18. Discussion of the diagnostic results with the senior doctor.

Brief description of the diagnostic day

1. Preliminary conclusion of the results for subsequent observation.
2. If necessary, consultation with specialist doctors, such as: oncologist, neurosurgeon and diagnostician.
3. Preliminary conclusion of the results of the doctor of the Comprehensive Cancer Prevention Center and sending it to the patient (in about three weeks).
