The Davidoff Cancer Center at Israel’s Rabin Medical Center benefits from the support of the Davidoff Foundation’s international board and hosts a bi-annual international conference which includes top doctors and researchers from Dana Farber Cancer Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and other premier cancer centers from the USA and Europe.
In particular, the Davidoff Center has a strong relationship with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which has hosted several Rabin Medical Exchange Fellows in recent years.
I spent 3 weeks at both the Peripheral Neuropathy Clinical and Research Center at Weill
Cornell Medical College with Prof. Latov and the Weill Cornell Medical Center.
During that time, I observed a motor nerve biopsy procedure which was performed by experienced surgeons at the nearby Hospital for Special Surgery.
A group of researchers from Tel Aviv University has discovered how malignant tumors from melanoma, the deadly skin cancer, work. The group is led by a young lecturer and researcher, Dr. Carmit Levy.
As hundreds of white and blue balloons
were released into the sky, the first
cancer patients walked through the
doors of the Davidoff Center on that
beautiful Sunday of May 8, 2005.
