Optica Online Industry Meeting: Cancer Diagnostics and Treatment
25 June 2024 10:00 - 11:30
Eastern Daylight/Summer Time (US & Canada) (UTC -04:00)Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths worldwide a year, led by breast cancer. Photonics emerges as a key player in both early diagnosis and effective treatment. Optical and photoacoustic imaging provide non-invasive early detection methods, while therapies like laser therapy, photodynamic therapy, and light-activated nanoparticle medication advance cancer treatment. Photonics enhances surgical precision and post-treatment monitoring, ensuring timely intervention. Furthermore, it supports cutting-edge research into anti-cancer drugs and personalized treatment protocols, underscoring its indispensable contribution to oncological diagnostics and therapeutics. This meeting aims for the industry to showcase their latest innovations and solutions in the fight against breast and prostate cancer. This is an opportunity to demonstrate how technologies can make a difference in cancer management, improve patient outcomes, and contribute to the global effort to combat these diseases. Join us in transforming the landscape of breast and prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment
