The President of the Emirates Oncology Society, Dr. Humaid Al Shamsi, revealed a modern technology for predicting and detecting cancer, explaining that it is a new innovative technology through a blood test known as “grill”, and it detects more than 50 types of cancer, with an accuracy of 99%.
He pointed out that this technology is currently being tested abroad, by conducting clinical trials on more than 100,000 people, and the trials have reached their final stages, and the results are expected to appear in 2023, and it will change early cancer screening techniques, obviating the need for endoscopy and radiology, And provide early treatment, through a blood test and showing results, the presence of cancer is found, and therefore a full evaluation is done.
Al Shamsi said that the preliminary results of an experimental blood test developed by Grill Company predict the detection of cancer in its early stages based on the floating DNA released by the tumor in the blood. The tests diagnose cancer with a small error rate, and have been successful in tracking cancer, and these are promising early results.
Al Shamsi stressed that the UAE has become a global destination for treating cancer patients of all kinds, as a result of the development of technologies and treatment methods, in addition to the availability of more than 95% of the treatments available globally within the country.
He explained that in recent years, hospitals and cancer treatment centers in the country have received many patients from different countries of the world, for cancer treatment, whether by performing surgeries for bone marrow transplantation, or for obtaining treatment with the techniques available within the country.
Al Shamsi pointed out that breast and colon cancer are among the most common types of cancer in the country, and breast cancer spreads by 15%, 40% of patients under the age of fifty, compared to 60% over the age of fifty, 90% of cases are for unclear reasons, and 10% to 15% for genetic reasons, in addition to obesity and smoking, especially among young people.
He pointed out that about 86% of cancer diseases can be treated within the country, without the need to receive treatment abroad, while the remaining percentage requires bone marrow transplants, expecting that the percentage of cases that require treatment outside the country will reach 5% in the coming years, especially after the availability of Bone marrow transplants at the Abu Dhabi Stem Cell Center, and these cases require rare surgical interventions.
