Tumor imaging is an integral part of contemporary oncology, allowing precise diagnosis, staging, treatment planning, and tracking of cancer progression. The tutorial "Tumor Imaging" addresses cutting-edge imaging methodologies and their application in precision cancer medicine.".
Imaging techniques like MRI, CT, PET, and molecular imaging enable the clinician to define the tumor size, position, metabolic activity, and vascularization with great accuracy. These modalities offer critical information for choosing the best treatment strategy, evaluating therapeutic response, and identifying metastases or recurrence. Newer imaging technologies, such as functional imaging, hybrid PET/MRI, and AI-based image analysis, further enhance precision and diagnostic confidence.
The session also discusses how tumor imaging intersects with other diagnostic strategies, including liquid biopsies and molecular profiling, to inform personalized treatments. Evolved imaging biomarkers predict response to treatment, track minimal residual disease, and detect resistant tumor areas, facilitating adaptive and precision-guided treatment.
Participants will learn about today's practices, technological advancements, and clinical uses of cancer imaging. This session highlights the revolutionizing impact of imaging in oncology, enhancing early detection, treatment planning, and monitoring, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and quality of care for cancer management.
Welcome to the Cancer and Oncology Conference 2026, where global researchers, clinicians, and academics meet to share advances in cancer biology, precision medicine, diagnostics, therapies, and global solutions for patient care.
