Luxor Cancer Hospital Opens Medical Cyclotron Unit in Ministers’ Presence

Luxor Cancer Hospital in New Tiba City inaugurated a medical cyclotron unit on Saturday to serve cancer patients across Upper Egypt.

The opening took place in the presence of Egypt’s ministers of local development and social solidarity, highlighting the unit’s role in supporting healthcare in the region.

The new unit is intended to support the hospital’s services for people with cancer, with its stated reach extending beyond Luxor to patients elsewhere in Upper Egypt.

Medical cyclotrons are used to produce radioactive isotopes for medical applications, including cancer imaging. The announcement did not specify the new unit’s production capacity or when it would begin routine operations.
