The Davidoff Oncologic center introduces the newest unique equipment RAPIDARC giving new hope to many patients, suffering from oncology diseases. The technology is based on the use of high-precision linear accelerators together with a computed tomography, in a real-time regime. RAPIDARC allows irradiation 10 times more powerful than the devices of the previous generation, leaving healthy organs unaffected. Using RAPIDARC considerably shortens treatment terms, reduces side-effects and allows to prolong patient’s life without operative interference . The Davidoff experts say after working with this device, that at the end of the treatment course the patient can return to his normal life almost without recovery period.

Cancer treatment: Israel or Russia?
Such dilemma appears for many of our fellow citizens who have faced the disease. In Russia there is a large quantity of high-qualified experts who are capable to provide sufficient medical assistance to patients. However the majority of specialized clinics of the country are in Moscow and other big cities. But for cancer treatment, whether it is Israel , Russia or any other country, not only staff potential is necessary. Unfortunately the equipment and the technologies used in regional hospitals do not correspond to the present stage of development of oncology. Service quality in Russian clinics leaves much to be desired as well. Cancer treatment in Israel provides the most advanced techniques, together with talented and famous professionals. Cancer treatment in Israel assumes long aftertreatment, providing perfect conditions. Therefore cancer treatment in Israel becomes the only possible way to receive the hope of the recovery for many people. And there is an eloquent acknowledgement to it – statistics.
