Oncology and Nuclear Medicine Introduction

-An Introduction to Oncology and Nuclear Medicine

The Department of Clinical Oncology and Nuclear Medicine has been established and started to provide service to cancer patients at Aswan University in 2015, Although, now many cancer centers have been established in Upper Egypt, this didn’t minimize the burden on our center and we still providing our medical service to cancer patients annually.

 

In our new department, we prepared a well-clinical pharmacy unit with a well-trained clinical pharmacist who worked with us to ensure accurate delivery of systemic therapy.

 

We are planning now to establish a modern radiation oncology unit to start treating patients with radiation therapy whenever indicated using our latest technology of linear accelerator machine.

Finally, we hope to provide nuclear medicine services very soon at Aswan University.
