FAQ

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

What advanced treatment options are available in Israel for multiple myeloma?

Israel offers advanced multiple myeloma treatments including in-house developed CAR T-cell therapy, bispecific antibodies, and complex stem cell transplants. Facilities like Sheba Medical Center and Hadassah provide personalized precision medicine. These programs utilize genetic profiling to tailor targeted drug protocols for refractory cases.

  • Cellular therapy: Sheba Medical Center engineers CAR-T cells on-site in 10–11 days.
  • Novel immunotherapy: Clinics utilize bispecific antibodies like Teclistamab and Talquetamab for relapsed patients.
  • Advanced transplantation: Specialists perform autologous, allogeneic, and tandem transplants for high-risk myeloma.
  • Surgeon expertise: Dr. Abraham Avigdor at Sheba has over 35 years of oncology experience.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Israeli oncology centers like Sourasky and Sheba are unique because they perform both pediatric and adult bone marrow transplants at massive scale. Dr. Fredi Aviv has practiced at Sourasky for over 30 years, while Sheba serves nearly 2 million patients annually. This high volume allows doctors to manage complex side effects from aggressive daratumumab combinations more effectively than smaller regional centers.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that access to tandem transplants is often faster in Israel than in the US. Many suggest prioritizing bispecific antibodies over CAR-T if you have limited mobility, as the administration process is simpler.

What is the success rate of CAR-T therapy in Israeli clinics?

Israeli clinics achieve CAR-T therapy success rates between 70% and 90% for various blood cancers. Medical centers like Sheba and Hadassah report a 90% overall response rate for multiple myeloma. These results frequently exceed global averages due to advanced in-house cell manufacturing and early clinical adoption.

  • Multiple myeloma: Approximately 90% response rate with 50% of patients reaching deep remission.
  • Pediatric leukemia: Success reaches 85% to 90% in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
  • Lymphoma outcomes: Centers report 70% response for DLBCL and 88% for follicular lymphoma.
  • Fast manufacturing: In-house production reduces vein-to-vein time to just 10 to 11 days.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Israeli centers like Sheba Medical Center offer a distinct advantage through point-of-care manufacturing. While commercial labs usually take 3 to 4 weeks, Sheba's in-house facility delivers cells in roughly 10 days. This speed prevents disease progression during the waiting period. Advanced specialists like Dr. Abraham Avigdor and Dr. Avichai Shimoni lead these high-volume programs with over 30 years of experience.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that while deep remissions are common, it is vital to discuss long-term durability with the medical team. People often emphasize that the faster cell processing in Israel provides significant peace of mind during the critical treatment window.

Who are the leading myeloma specialists in Israel?

Israel boasts internationally recognized myeloma specialists at JCI-accredited institutions like Sheba Medical Center and Sourasky Medical Center. These experts include Prof. Avichai Shimoni and Dr. Hila Magen, both leading figures in immunotherapy and stem cell transplantation for plasma cell disorders.

  • Dr. Hila Magen: Directs Sheba Medical Center's Multiple Myeloma and Amyloidosis Unit.
  • Prof. Avichai Shimoni: Professor at Tel Aviv University specializing in high-risk blood cancers.
  • Dr. Abraham Avigdor: Leads Sheba's Institute of Hematology and integrates advanced CAR-T protocols.
  • Dr. Ron Ram: Hematology-oncology specialist at Sourasky Medical Center performing stem cell transplants.
  • Prof. Moshe Gatt: Chairs the Israeli Myeloma Treatment Society at Hadassah Medical Center.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Israeli oncology centers demonstrate high-volume expertise, with Sourasky Medical Center serving 1.8 million patients and maintaining a 90% success rate. Experts like Dr. Hila Magen and Dr. Abraham Avigdor have over 30 years of experience. This deep specialization is why many specialists are listed among Forbes' Top Doctors.

Patient Consensus: Patients note the value of specialists who participate in international clinical trials. Many seek out physicians like Prof. Michael Shapira for personalized bone marrow transplant protocols.

Are there clinical trials available for relapsed or high-risk patients?

Israel offers numerous clinical trials for relapsed and high-risk myeloma patients. Major centers utilize advanced CAR T-cell therapies and bispecific antibodies. These trials provide access to innovative treatments for those not responding to standard care. Facilities like Sheba Medical Center are global leaders in immunotherapy research.

  • Therapy focus: Trials prioritize dual-target CAR T-cells and combination drug regimens.
  • Leading institutions: JCI-accredited centers in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Jerusalem.
  • Specialized expertise: Doctors like Dr. Ron Ram perform hundreds of stem cell transplants.
  • Quality standards: Facilities rank among Newsweek World's Best Hospitals for consecutive years.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Israeli oncology centers like Sourasky and Sheba have massive patient volumes, exceeding 1,800,000 yearly. This high throughput accelerates trial enrollment and data collection. Patients benefit from a 90% success rate in general oncology at specialized Tel Aviv facilities. Clinicians often combine research with practical care, as seen by their rankings in the global top 10 for consecutive years.

Patient Consensus: Patients value the direct access to Nobel-prize-winning expertise and latest CAR-T protocols. Many emphasize that coordinate Care in Israel feels exceptionally personalized despite the massive size of the hospitals.

How long should I expect to stay in Israel for treatment?

Myeloma treatment in Israel typically requires a stay of 1 to 8 weeks depending on the protocol. Diagnostics usually conclude within 5 days. Complex therapies like CAR-T cell infusion require intensive monitoring for approximately 8 weeks. Standard chemo-immunotherapy cycles often allow patients to return home between sessions.

  • Diagnostics phase: Diagnostic programs at JCI-accredited centers generally take 1 to 5 days.
  • Treatment duration: Basic oncology protocols often involve 1 to 3 weeks for initial stabilization.
  • CAR-T monitoring: Sheba Medical Center requires about 8 weeks for CAR-T cell therapy observation.
  • Follow-up care: Clinics recommend staying nearby for several days post-discharge for medical reviews.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Israeli oncology centers like Sourasky or Sheba often fast-track international cases to avoid local wait times. While residents may wait significantly longer for elective care, international patients typically begin specialized diagnostics immediately upon arrival. This efficiency is critical for myeloma patients who require rapid intervention after a diagnosis is confirmed.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that staying in a nearby hotel rather than the hospital for follow-up days makes the recovery process much more comfortable and less stressful.
