Basalioma In Israel: Diagnosis And Treatment

Basaloma refers to varieties of skin cancer and is a tumor consisting of keratinocytes.

Risk factors for basal cell carcinoma

1. Ultraviolet radiation.
2. Regular and frequent use of ultraviolet lamps for many years.
3. Previously conducted radiation therapy.
4. Weakened immune system, for example immunosuppressors after organ transplantation.
5. Work with certain chemicals (bitumen, creosote, arsenic and a number of others).

Symptoms of basal cell carcinoma

This type of cancer is mostly asymptomatic, manifestations are possible - ulceration and bleeding, there is an ulcer or swelling.

Types of basal cell carcinoma:

1. Nodular form.
2. Superficial form.
3. Cicatricial form.

Basal cell carcinoma has a slow course, and as a rule, the primary focus remains the main localization region.

The most dangerous area is the central part of the face (around the mouth and eyes, nose, nasolabial folds), ears, scalp.

Basalioma in Israel: diagnosis

The main way to diagnose basal cells in Israeli medical centers is a biopsy that allows you to refine the diagnosis.

Treatment of basal cell carcinoma in Israel

Methods of treatment of basal cell carcinoma in Israel: surgery, chemotherapy, cryosurgery, radiation therapy, laser treatment.

Basalioma in Israel: Operation

Operative treatment of basal cell carcinoma in Israel is prescribed when a small tumor located on the trunk or extremities. The operation lasts approximately 2-2.5 hours with the use of general anesthesia, during its carrying out a layered tumor is removed.

Mos's method is effective at the following indications: relapsing tumors, large lesions or with blurred boundaries, the need for excision in anatomical areas requiring minimal aesthetic defects.

Curettage and electrocoagulation

Scraping can be prescribed for small tumors, it is performed by a curette, a sharp instrument in the form of a spoon. To prevent bleeding and destroy surviving malignant cells, use a device that sends an electric current to the affected area. Treatment in Israel is carried out in 2 or 3 stages.

Cryosurgery

This is a method of destroying malignant tissues by freezing liquid nitrogen. It is used for common basal cell tumors and blood clotting disorders.

Radiation therapy

Indications for irradiation are malignant formations that are difficult to treat (large sizes, in hard-to-reach places), as well as old age or poor health. The program for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma in Israel continues for several weeks. The recovery rate reaches 90%.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy treatment of basal cell in Israel implies the use of cytotoxic agents for the destruction of malignant tissues.

One of the newest drugs that have a stimulating effect on the immune system is Imiquimod.

An effective drug for the initial stages of basal cell carcinoma is 5-fluorouracil. A number of patients have small side effects.
