The most effective treatment for brain tumors is surgery if the location of the malignant neoplasm allows the neurosurgeon to remove majority of it giving the patient a good chance to return to the usual rhythm of life. The success of surgery with glioma depends on the accuracy of the diagnosis, the experience of the neurosurgeon and the equipment in the clinic. Surgical treatment of glioma abroad is proving highly effective. How much is the cost of operation for glioma and where it is performed is explained in this article.

PECULIARITIES OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF GLIOMA ACROSS THE BORDER
Surgical treatment of a brain tumor is used if its location allows it to be removed without serious harm to surrounding tissues. Effective treatment of glioma through surgery is carried out in Israel and Turkey. Patients in Israeli and Turkish clinics receive:
1. Complex diagnostics with the help of MRI, CT and PET scans.
2. Confirming the exact diagnosis (leading oncologists of the country determine the type of glioma, its degree and speed of development in the shortest possible time).
3. Personalized working approach to treatment.
4. Operation to remove glioma are performed under the guidance of a neurosurgeon with experience of over 10 years.
5. Monitoring of the state of the brain after surgery and rehabilitation.
6. Chemo with supportive therapy (if the tumor is in a hard-to-reach place and it is impossible to remove its necessary amount).
7. Radiation therapy (if necessary).
WHERE IS THE GLIOMA OPERATION PERFORMED
COST OF GLIOMA SURGERY IN ISRAEL
The leading neurosurgeons of Clinic Assuta perform successful operations to remove glioma. Malignant brain tumors are treated operatively through innovative laser technology, which is focused into the neoplasm.
This special laser allows to get rid of those cancer cells, which can not be removed by the classical method. Other Israeli clinic Ichilov conduct high quality neuroendoscopic surgery that reduce the risk of damage to surrounding tissues and minimize postoperative complications.
How much does an operation for glioma cost in Israel:
Assuta Hospital – from $ 30,000
Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov) – from $ 35,000
COST OF GLIOMA OPERATION IN TURKEY
In Turkish clinics, successful surgical treatment of glioma is carried out using a special microscope, which allows the neurosurgeon to examine in detail the entire targeted area of the brain.
Clinics of Turkey use special electric tweezers, vacuum or ultrasonic aspirator to remove malignant neoplasms neurosurgeons.
Operation with glioma in Turkey is carried out using advanced navigation systems: magnetic resonance and computed tomography. The use of CT and MRI during the resection of glioma helps to determine the exact location of the tumor, which allows the neurosurgeon to direct instruments directly into the tumor and to avoid damaging healthy tissue.
LIFE AFTER GLIOMA SURGERY
It is impossible to completely remove this type of brain tumor because of its location and the risk of disrupting important functions of the body. Nevertheless experienced neurosurgeons manage to remove large part of the neoplasm and maximally conserve brain tissue.With successful surgeries more than 80% of patients live more than 5 years.
