Proton Therapy for GBM Patients: Expanding Access in Israel Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults, with over 300,000 new cases diagnosed annually worldwide. Radiation therapy, often combined with chemotherapy, is a critical component of GBM treatment. Typically, 60 Gy of radiation is delivered in 30 fractions over six weeks to target residual tumor cells following surgery. Proton therapy is showing promise as a valuable tool in GBM treatment, offering improved dose distribution, reduced side effects, and the potential for better quality of life. Studies like Mizumoto et al. (2019) published in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology have highlighted fewer long-term side effects and improved quality of life in younger GBM patients (ages 18–50). Grassberger et al. (2020) in Frontiers in Oncology further explored the potential synergy between proton therapy and immunotherapy, with evidence of enhanced immune response preservation in patients aged 40–65. It’s clear that expanding access to proton therapy in Israel could provide new options for app 600 GBM patients diagnosed annually, addressing some of the challenges they face with current treatments. The precision of protons can help target tumors more effectively while protecting healthy brain tissue, which is critical for preserving quality of life. Timely referrals from neurosurgeons, oncologists, and radiation oncologists are essential to ensuring that patients receive comprehensive care, incorporating advancements like proton therapy when appropriate. As we look to the future, I believe it’s important to bring these innovative treatment options closer to home, offering Israeli GBM patients the opportunities for better care as those in leading centers worldwide. #GBM #ProtonTherapy #ImprovingCare #RadiationOncology American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) AAPM Student and Trainees Subcommittee PTCOG-NA The National Association for Proton Therapy Elekta Varian Siemens Healthineers Philips P-Cure Ltd Hadassah Medical Center Sharett Oncology Institute Aron Popovtzer Jon Feldman Philip Blumenfeld Marcel Fang Yair Heiss Yair Hillman

Israel’s first implantation of an innovative defibrillator at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center. The cardiac arrhythmia unit at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center implanted a new generation defibrillator (Crome™), enabling remote monitoring through a dedicated app directly to the patients’ mobile phone by utilizing BlueSync technology. The device implantation was successfully performed by Dr. Mark Kazatzker, director of the pacemaker service, and Dr. Gilad Margolis, a senior physician in the arrhythmia unit, on a patient with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. "Beyond the fact that the new device has longer battery longevity compared to other devices used in Israel, the patient can monitor his own condition in real time through a dedicated app, being aware of the slightest events and even alerting medical officials of the diagnosed changes. If the defibrillator goes into operation, the patient can show emergency medicine professionals in the field or in the ER data through the app, which in the past could only be ascertained in the hospital by cardiology staff members using a dedicated programmer. This is another important step in personalized and patient accessible medicine," notes Dr. Eran Leshem, director of the arrhythmia and pacemaker unit at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center. #defibrillator #cardiology #medicaldevice Medtronic Eran Leshem - Rubinow
