The Sheba Medical Center in Israel combines six major facilities: a children's hospital, an emergency care hospital, a women's hospital, a rehabilitation hospital, and a large medical research complex. Sheba Medical Center is at the world's advanced level in the field of assisted reproductive IVF, bone marrow transplantation, and heart disease treatment. It is also the first innovative CAR-T therapy for treating leukemia and TIL immunotherapy for treating melanoma, creating more treatment opportunities for cancer patients. In addition, Sheba is one of the only two medical institutions designated by the United States Department of Health's Federal Insurance (FWA) in Israel. Sheba has received funding from the United States federal government to conduct clinical trials involving human subjects

Leading edge technology

TIL immunotherapy for metastaticfile melanoma

Although melanoma accounts for only 1% of all skin cancer cases, its mortality rate accounts for 90% of all skin cancer deaths. It is a very dangerous and fatal disease. TIL immunotherapy is an innovative and efficient method for the treatment of advanced metastaticfile melanoma. After TIL treatment, about 50% of melanoma patients have improved, and about 25% of patients have recovered. However, because TIL is a very cutting-edge medical technology, currently, only a few medical institutions in the world can provide TIL treatment for patients. As a pioneer in TIL research and testing, Sheba Medical Center in Israel can provide patients with the most professional and high-quality TIL immunotherapy services

Newly developed drugs for pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is the 12th most common cancer in the world. Sheba Medical Center, together with the pharmaceutical companies AstraZeneca and Merck, has developed a targeted drug for cancer treatment, which can be used to delay the progress of pancreatic cancer cells, bringing hope for the cure of pancreatic cancer patients. The drug is olaparib olapani, which can attack certain enzymes that are important for the development of cancer cells

The World's First Hemophilia "Gene Breakthrough Therapy" Phase III Clinical Trial

The Haemophilia Center and Thrombosis Research Center of the Israeli Sheba Medical Center have used "gene breakthrough therapy" to eradicate hemophilia through single dose therapy, entering the phase III clinical trial phase of the human body. With the start of this clinical trial, the Israeli Sheba Medical Center has become the only medical institution in the world that has mastered this technology. Currently, the treatment of hemophilia requires regular injection therapy to improve the blood system and promote blood coagulation. The new technology is treated with a virus called an adenovirus, which can replicate the genetic material in healthy genes and activate damaged genes to restore normal function. Finally, achieve a complete cure for hemophilia

Hospital Advantages

Cancer and oncology specialty

The Sheba Medical Center in Israel is one of the few institutions in the world that specializes in providing personalized medical services to patients, and can tailor the implementation of personalized drugs that are consistent with the tumor gene map of patients. The medical center mainly explores the new revolution in medicine led by genetic mapping. For example, the DNA micro R ray device developed by the Sheba Medical Center allows you to test the expression level of a single gene. Using this technology, you can conduct cancer research at the genetic level, test the therapeutic effect of a new drug you are developing on a certain cancer, and also examine its impact on global gene expression. This technology has had a significant impact on the entire genomics, as well as on the individual gene level research of the entire patient genome. This is currently the biggest change in oncology and the entire cancer field
