During past 2 years 7 Positron Emission Tomography Centers were put into operation in the territory of the Russian Federation and 6 PET centers are to be opened within the coming 2 years. The intensity of molecular diagnostics methods development enables us to face the future with confidence and optimism.
Nevertheless, We are sure that PET centers opening may not serve a key to building an effective system. In order to integrate the Nuclear medicine methods at a maximum capacity level it is necessary to maintain the following components of success: staff training, adjustment of the logistics, interdisciplinary and integrated approach to proper functioning of PET centers.
Besides, current trends in the cancer care medicine make us use a strictly individualized approach to the management of each patient. There is no doubt, that nowadays the personalized medicine highly promotes the development of cancer medicine. It is the demand for personalization of each treatment method that forces the scientific community to advance in achievement of new horizons for state of the art oncology.
The forthcoming international conference «Nuclear and Personalized Medicine development in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer», that will take place in Kazan, October 4-5th, is going to provide Russian specialists and their colleagues from countries of the near abroad the benefit of invaluable experience of work in the field of molecular visualization methods, as well as personalized medicine from the world’s leading practitioners. Such conference will be held in the Russian Federation for the first time. We think that subject matter of the conference will be of interest for representatives of different specialties: oncologists, radiologists, chemotherapeutists, cardiologists, public health îfficials and others.
Tatarstan Cancer Center is a long-term partner of OECI, which is a network of leading European Cancer Institutes, aimed at improvement of quality of cancer patients centered care, consolidation of joint work in the sphere of diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation. The conference will be held in close collaboration with the OECI, which means a topmost level of research and organizational parts of the future event.
We would like to invite you to take part in the conference «Nuclear and Personalized Medicine development in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer» which will be held on 4-5th of October, 2013 in Kazan.
We are sure that experience and knowledge gained at the conference will allow us to make a quantum leap in the improvement of cancer patients care (cancer care or care of cancer patients).
