Accurately targeting women's cancers in Mongolia (Arabic Edition)

Description

In 2020 alone, health officials in Mongolia reported more than 5700 new cases of cancer, of which nearly half were diagnosed in women. This country of 3 million reported 334 new cervical cancer cases in 2020 and lost 1943 women to cancer in total. Since 2014, a series of IAEA technical cooperation projects has helped expand the scope and scale of the National Cancer Centre's services and enhanced their accuracy and quality. With the commissioning of a new treatment planning system last year and the introduction of advanced cancer treatment modalities over the past three years, hopes are now high that cervical, breast and other common women's cancers will be diagnosed at earlier stages and treated with greater effectiveness, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
