IAEA introduces new smartphone app for cancer staging | Thenewstribe.com

LONDON:  Identifying the stage of cancer quickly and accurately will become easier for health care professionals in developing countries, thanks to an IAEA-developed smartphone app launched today (Wednesday), the agency reported.

Staging cancer is a complex process, involving the integration of the results of a wide range of tests. Based on this diagnosis, physicians decide on whether surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or any other form of treatment is most appropriate.

Reflecting the IAEA’s commitment to building capacities in human health through its Technical Cooperation Programme, the new smartphone app, available for iPhone and Android devices, will “enable cancer staging to be accessible, easy-to-use, and will be absolutely free of charge,” said Najat Mokhtar, Director for Asia and the Pacific at the IAEA’s Department of Technical Cooperation.
