Pediatric Lymphomas Support Programs & Services

Malignant lymphomas are cancers that appear in the cells of the lymphatic system. The main symptom is enlarged lymph nodes. Malignant tumors of the lymph nodes occur in 12% of children and adolescents with cancer. Among oncological diseases, this is the third most common disease. Lymphomas are divided into two main types: Hodgkin’s lymphoma (Hodgkin’s disease) and the large group of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. Lymphomas tend to affect the entire human body and are therefore called systemic malignant disease.

The Israeli clinic Tel Aviv Medical Clinic has a real team of professionals who have extensive knowledge and skills in the treatment of various pathologies in children. Our department is equipped with the latest equipment, with the help of which it is possible to identify pathology at the initial stage. We use an integrated approach to treatment. Thus, our patients have the opportunity to consult with narrow specialists and draw up an individual treatment plan. Our doctors help children who have been declared terminally ill in other hospitals.

Unfortunately, in many cases, the optimal solution to save the patient’s life is a radical surgical operation associated with the removal of the spreading tumor and the affected area. After such an operation, the patient needs a recovery period. Our clinic has a support center where every person who has undergone lymphoma treatment can apply.
