These experts work together to create a treatment plan for esophageal cancer. Their team includes over 1,500 doctors across the hospital network to support various patient needs.
Fast Diagnostics and Precise Staging
Before starting chemotherapy, doctors must determine the exact stage of the cancer. The hospital uses PET-CT and MRI scans for this purpose. These imaging tests help identify the size of the tumor and if it has spread. Results for these diagnostic scans are typically ready within 1 to 3 days. This fast turnaround allows the medical team to start treatment without unnecessary delays.
Advanced Chemotherapy Methods
Assuta Medical Center offers specialized chemotherapy options for complex cases. These include:
- HIPEC – This method uses heated chemotherapy applied directly inside the body.
- MRI-guided linear accelerator – This technology helps target radiation more accurately when used with chemotherapy.
- Multidisciplinary care – Surgeons, oncologists, and radiologists collaborate on every case.
The clinic uses these tools to manage esophageal carcinoma more effectively. The choice of drugs and the number of cycles depend on the stage of the disease and the health of the patient.

Thank you very much
Hello, I had 2 melanomas detected, they cut me out, then I found this clinic on the Internet, I applied because I had an ultrasound of the lymph nodes in my groin and under my arm. They met me at the clinic, took me to Dr. Bernstein’s office, and the ultrasound showed good results, thank you very much, good service, I am satisfied.
