About the clinic
Radiation therapy for brain tumors at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv provides a specialized approach using advanced MRI-guided technology. This private hospital network is known for its high safety standards, being the first in Israel to receive JCI accreditation in 2011. Patients receive care in a facility that combines imaging and treatment to improve precision and shorten the recovery process.
Advanced Radiotherapy Technology
The clinic uses the MRI-guided linear accelerator, also known as MR LINAC. This system combines a magnetic resonance imaging scanner with a radiation beam. It allows doctors to see the tumor in real-time during the procedure. Because the targeting is so accurate, this method can sometimes replace traditional surgery for brain tumors. The precision helps protect healthy brain tissue and may shorten the overall number of treatment sessions.
Treatment Planning and Lead Specialist
Before therapy begins, the medical team performs detailed mapping of the tumor. They use advanced imaging tools like PET-CT and MRI to create a specific plan for each patient. This detailed view helps identify the exact margins of the tumor. Dr. Raphael Pfeffer leads the oncology department at the clinic. As a specialist in radiation therapy and the Chief Physician of the department, Dr. Raphael Pfeffer oversees the radiotherapy protocols for brain cancer cases.

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.
