Best Diagnostic Tools and Supportive Medication for Cancer Patients

Cancer is still a lethal disease despite the development of new effective therapies; therefore the purpose of our study was to improve the patient's outcome by looking for the best diagnostic tools, secondly to improve radiotherapy resistance since about 50% of all cancer patients are treated with it. The first part of our study will be performed in Alkhatib center and the selection of that hospital was upon its highly sensitive diagnostic tools, in which PET/CT scan was playing a major role to improve survival as shown in few reports in our study, and it's the only safe diagnostic tool for a person who has a metal fragments after injury in the war which increased the number of such patients in our country during the last decade. This diagnostic tool is based on FDG in which we can define the tumor by using sugar more than normal tissue. We will also demonstrate that this diagnostic tool could be of a great help to distinguish the area of high uptake of radioiodine in thyroid cancer and the areas of low uptake will be more intense by FDG since there is an opposite correlation in between FDG and Radioiodine uptake, this can direct the therapy by adding a supportive drug.
