Today, Dr. Mansour Hassan, President of Beni Suef University, met with the research team at the Institute of Laser Research and Applications affiliated to the university after reaching research results proving the ability of femtosecond lasers to eliminate breast cancer cells, which causes many problems in society and represents 35% of all cancer cases in Egypt, in the presence of Dr. Tariq Ali, Acting Vice President for Postgraduate Studies and Research and Dean of the Institute, Dr. Ahmed Osama El-Gendy, Vice-Dean of the Institute for Graduate Studies and Research, Dr. Wafa Mohamed, Vice-Dean of the Institute for Community Service and Environmental Development, and researcher Safaa Taha Moawad, Teaching Assistant in the Department of Biological Laser Applications.
Dr. Mansour Hassan praised the efforts made by the research team with the aim of achieving promising therapeutic research results using the femtosecond laser to reach a treatment to eliminate breast cancer cells, stressing that the aim of the results is to open new horizons for eliminating breast cancer cells, which is the most common type of cancer where it is infected. Nearly one woman out of every twelve women suffers from breast cancer, according to WHO reports, which represents 35% of all cancer cases in Egypt and is the most diagnosed type of cancer worldwide in females, and it is the first cause of cancer deaths among females.
The President of Beni Suef University confirmed that the new results depend on the use of a multi-wavelength femtosecond laser device, which is considered one of the modern and unique devices that are unique to the Institute of Laser Research and Applications in the Middle East, which emits many wavelengths with different energies. To study the effect of several laser wavelengths issued by the femtosecond laser device, which are located in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared ranges, and their effect on breast cancer cells to find out the appropriate wavelength to eliminate cancer cells.
