Dr. Tatyana Rabin's research interests include:

Methods of destruction of malignant neoplasms by heating with the help of ultrasonic waves, research into the use of brachytherapy in the treatment of oncogynecological diseases,

study of the mechanisms of response at the molecular level of prostate tumor cells to radiotherapy;

clinical studies of oncomammology, oncopulmonology, ocular lymphoma.

Dr. Rabin is investigating the molecular mechanisms by which prostate cancer cells respond to radiation therapy. This research is being conducted in collaboration with the Weizmann Institute of Science.

In addition, Dr. Rabin has been involved in clinical research in the areas of breast cancer, lung cancer, and ocular lymphoma.

Dr. Rabin is currently coordinating a new and unique study at Sheba Hospital that is investigating a method of treating cancerous tumors using MRI-guided ultrasound waves. This method involves raising the tumor's temperature to a certain level and then destroying it.

Dr. Sternheim Amir is an experienced orthopaedic surgeon. He specializes in orthopaedic oncology, joint replacement, and complex hip and knee reconstruction. He is known for using advanced 3D technology and computer-assisted methods. These tools help him plan surgeries with high precision, especially for predicting femur fractures in patients with metastatic disease.

Dr. Amir has published many research papers and has spoken at major medical conferences. His main interests are sarcoma and metastatic bone cancer. He has received several awards, such as the Outstanding Resident Award at Tel-Aviv Medical Center. He has also earned grants from the Israeli Cancer Society and the University of Toronto. Dr. Amir is an active member of MSTS, CTOS, and ISOLS, which shows his strong reputation in the field.

Coping with gastrointestinal and lung cancer without chemotherapy. Specialists at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Clinic (Ichilov) use an ultra-modern innovative method to combat neuroendocrine tumors. It is based on radionuclide therapy with the radioisotope Lutetium 177 (Lutetium-177). This innovation is a real breakthrough in oncotherapy, because in recent decades the number of cases of this type of cancer has been rapidly growing.

This method is completely new in the world. Today it exists only in Israel, Germany and Sweden.

Its essence is in the use of a new radiopharmaceutical - Lutetium 177 PRRT. The drug is administered intravenously at intervals of 7-8 weeks. With the help of Lutetium, cancer cells are destroyed selectively, without affecting healthy tissues of the body. That is, this method of treatment can literally be called "local radiation therapy". In addition, the drug does not have a toxic effect on the bone marrow and kidneys, destroying the tumor from the inside.

In addition, the use of this method allows patients to avoid severe side effects of chemotherapy, such as vomiting, nausea, pain, alopecia, weakness. It is also important that the treatment is carried out by a special group of medical specialists. Among them: leading doctors, nurses and medical physicists!

All of them work under the supervision of Dr. Inna Ospovat, a leading specialist in the nuclear therapy department at the Ichilov Clinic.
