In the Gaza Strip, there is no oncological care.

A very serious problem is breast cancer, which is the No. 1 oncological disease among women.

The situation in the Gaza Strip was described as being the worst, with no oncological care available.

This particularly pertains to diagnosing and the early detection of oncological and cardiovascular diseases, in particular those that affect children.

Improvements in the physical protection system of high activity sealed radioactive sources in five Lithuanian personal health care institutions of an oncological profile have been made.

The French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea also implements a programme on biotechnological transfer from deep water species for oncological, cardiovascular and tissue regeneration applications and for new anti tumour strategies.

According to forecasts, however, in addition to the growing incidence of thyroid cancer among persons exposed to radioactive iodine, an increase in the number of cases of other forms of malignant neoplasm and cardiovascular and other non oncological types of disease may be expected in the years immediately ahead.
