RAJSHAHI, Sept 23, 2019 (BSS) – Some cancer specialists at a seminar here
today mentioned that epigenetic sequencing nanotechnology can detect all
types of cancers early through analyzing DNA and RNA for early recovering the
patients sufferings from cancers.
They also opined that the sub-type cancer can be detected through
applying this technology and the latest treatment can be made easier in this
case.
Department of Oncology of Barind Medical College and Hospital (BMCH)
organized the seminar titled “Cancer Detection and Management through Using
latest Technology” at its conference hall. Xing Cancer Care Australia and
ASHRAI, Rajshahi supported the seminar.
During his keynote presentation, Professor Dr Paul Mainwaring, renowned
Oncologist and Co-Founder of Xing Cancer Care, Australia, illustrated the

Gopal Chandra Sarker, Professor Rafiqul Alam and Professor A.B.M Golam
Rabbani.
“A cancer patient can be cured if the disease is detected at an early
stage. Epigenetic sequencing nanotechnology can very well serve the purpose,”
