RIYADH: The fourth Middle East Society of Therapeutic Radiation Oncology conference will take place at Alfaisal University in Riyadh from Nov. 21-22.
Experts, researchers and international pharmaceutical and medical technology companies from the Kingdom and overseas will take part in the event, which will focus on artificial intelligence and modern cancer treatment technologies.
Scientific sessions will begin with discussions on the latest developments in radiation therapy and oncology technologies across major Gulf centers, featuring speakers from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait and the UAE.
Panel discussions will also cover modern cancer treatment technologies in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Turkiye and Iraq, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.
A specialized Saudi team will present efforts to advance proton therapy — an advanced technology that helps reduce radiation-related side effects, particularly in children — and the challenges of implementing it in the Kingdom.
