Two projects using nanotechnology in advanced cancer diagnostics imaging MRI and PET:
Early diagnosis of tumors – nanoparticles used in the biopolimer diagnosis as a carrier of radioisotopes (provided funding from grants of PLN 5, 2 M)
early diagnosis of cancer of the prostate gland – safe and effective radio-pharmaceutics for the prostate cancer diagnosis (in a grant proces for PLN 1, 8M)
NanoThea and NanoSanguis in finals of Internest & UNESCO program
Every day over 22,000 people in the World die because of cancer. Early diagnostics often plays the key role in cancer therapy. Many patients can be cured if the tumor is detected on the early stage. That is why NanoThea is developing a novel effective and low cost tool for early diagnostics.
