Innovations in cancer diagnosis and treatment: prospects and challenges

The research relevance of cancer diagnostics and treatment is determined by its widespread occurrence and the lack of adequate modern diagnostic methods. The study aims to characterise new diagnostic methods, namely screenings in detecting cancer at early stages of development. To achieve this goal, the bibliosemantic and bibliographic methods were used. Main results. Cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality after cardiovascular diseases and injuries in many countries around the world. Various diagnostic and treatment methods are used to combat this problem, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography. In addition, modern diagnostic methods such as polymerase chain reaction, mass spectrometry and genomic sequencing play an important role in determining the types of cancer cells and their sensitivity to treatment. These advanced methods can be used to diagnose cancer more accurately and efficiently and choose the most appropriate treatment strategies for each patient. The practical significance of this topic is to ensure appropriate care for patients with cancer: providing high-quality, efficient, fast and minimally invasive diagnostics using the latest methods, as well as implementing a screening system.
