From this point of view, there are a number of doctors around the world are working hard to come up with a treatment of virus C or design devices for the treatment of tumors resulting from it.

"We have developed a device in our specialization in intracranial radiotherapy which treats liver and prostate tumors by injecting or burning the tumor," Laura Walters, Market Development Manager at Merit Medical company, told "SEE".

On the help of this device in the treatment of the liver tumor, the company explained that the disease consists of two stages, the 1st stage called HCC "Hepatocellular carcinoma", at this stage, the liver can be injected with a specific substance to stop the tumor completely by preventing blood from reaching it; because blood is its food for growth, and at this stage the success rate is great.

As for the secondary stage, it is called "metastasis", it is more dangerous than the previous stage, and the rate of their success depends on how serious it is; Periodic medical examination is important for detecting the disease earlier.

The company confirmed that such devices for the treatment of liver tumors and prostate through the interventional radiology has been in Egypt for some time, but the lack of awareness of its existence caused the lack of knowledge of patients for treatment.

This came during the Egypt Symposia Conference for the third time in a row, currently, with the participation of more than 500 Egyptian doctors under the slogan "Conference of all doctors of Egypt" in the presence of a number of university presidents in addition to doctors specializing in interventional radiology from around the world, in conjunction with the state's support for youth ideas.
