Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has completed treatment for early-stage prostate cancer that was discovered during a routine medical checkup. After undergoing targeted radiation therapy at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, follow-up imaging and blood tests showed no remaining signs of the disease, and his doctor confirmed he has made a full recovery.

Netanyahu was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, the most common form of prostate cancer, which develops in the glandular cells of the prostate. His tumor measured less than one centimeter and had not spread beyond the prostate, significantly increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome. Prostate cancer often progresses slowly and is frequently detected through routine testing, particularly in older men.

Doctors presented the option of active monitoring or radiation therapy, and Netanyahu chose radiation treatment designed to destroy cancer cells while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. Medical experts say that when such small tumors are treated early and tests show no remaining cancer, the risk of recurrence is minimal.

The treatment does not suppress the immune system and is not expected to affect his cognitive or physical abilities. While he will undergo standard follow-up blood tests as part of routine post-treatment care, he is not subject to medical restrictions and can continue his official duties normally.
