Recent achievements of Belarusian oncologists presented at large-scale forum in Minsk

Belarus is one of the leading countries in the world in terms of accessibility of medical services. Thanks to scientific domestic developments and new methods of diagnosis and treatment, our doctors can make any operation.

The international medical exhibition "Healthcare of Belarus - 2024" has finished its work in Minsk. Our oncologists presented their latest achievements at the large-scale forum. For instance, the Aleksandrov Russian Scientific and Research Center of Oncology and Medical Radiology uses "carticellular" therapy for the treatment of lymphoma, as well as various types of reconstructive surgery. For more than five years, the center has been using gamma knife, which helps in the treatment of brain metastases. By the way, today it is a global minimally invasive practice.

Medics remind: early diagnosis of cancer is extremely important

About 70% of patients with head and neck oncology consult a doctor already with the third or fourth stage of the disease. And as doctors note, special attention should be paid to the mouth and pharynx. Specialists remind that early diagnosis is extremely important. And with proper examination of the oral cavity can detect the disease in 90% of cases. In addition to the doctor ultrasound and CT scan, it is mandatory to perform a biopsy.
