About 150 specialists of Hadassah clinic are ranked among the best doctors according to Forbes Israel

Hadassah Medical Center specializes in the treatment of cancer, pediatric oncohematology, rare diseases, as well as spinal surgery, neurosurgery and cardiology. Many departments are headed by professors of the Hebrew University, with which the clinic closely cooperates. The criteria for selecting doctors and nursing staff are extremely strict.

Beyond oncology and cardiology, Hadassah is a leader in cell therapy for multiple sclerosis: stem cells are injected directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, targeting damaged areas of the central nervous system and slowing disease progression. Read more about these methods in our article on stem cell treatment.

At Hadassah, diagnostics are performed by leading specialists of Israel, among whom are two Nobel laureates. For examinations, equipment is used that is available only in the best medical centers in the world.

One of these devices is the PET-CT DISCOVERY MI — the most accurate scanner for detecting cancer metastases. Unlike a conventional PET-CT, which can detect tumors from 5 mm, DISCOVERY MI allows visualization of lesions as small as 2-3 mm, making it 70% more accurate compared to analogues. Hadassah is the only clinic in Israel equipped with this scanner.

In 2022, in the radiotherapy department for the treatment of skin cancer, head and neck tumors, as well as other organs, a revolutionary radiation therapy technology Alpha DaRT using alpha particles was implemented, allowing the destruction of solid tumors in almost 80% of patients. And in 2018, in the same department, a unique Ethos system with integrated artificial intelligence was introduced. With its help, it is possible to assess the patient’s condition and the tumor’s location in the body on a daily basis. At the moment, there are only 17 such Ethos systems worldwide, one of which is located at Hadassah Medical Center.
