The IAEA contributes to improved cancer management worldwide by assisting Member States in devising comprehensive cancer control programmes, implementing nuclear medicine, radiation oncology and radiology facilities, as well as supporting education and training for medical staff.
The new staging app is a reflection of the use of technology to facilitate the dissemination of information to support cancer management worldwide, said May Abdel Wahab, Director of the IAEA’s Division of Human Health, adding that access to radiation medicine for early detection, diagnosis and treatment is a key step towards cancer management, an area in which the IAEA plays a pivotal role.
