New mobile App to help doctors evaluate cancer in women

Optimizing cancer care for women is the aim of a new mobile app designed to help doctors evaluate more quickly and accurately the extent of cancer in female reproductive organs and select the most appropriate treatment. The app also includes investigation and management strategies based on best practices as endorsed by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). The FIGO Gyn Cancer Management app is available for use on iOS and Android devices. The new app is useful for a range of medical specialists, including gynaecologists, oncologists, pathologists and surgeons. Cancer management is an important strand of the IAEA's work worldwide. It contributes to helping countries achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and, in particular, the target of reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases, such as cancer, by one third by 2030.
