Why it matters:
Iranian officials say these advancements underscore the peaceful nature of the country’s nuclear and scientific programs, demonstrating how indigenous technology is improving public health despite years of sanctions and external pressure.
The big picture:
Iran has made major progress in cancer treatment through advanced technologies, including cold plasma therapy.
Eslami says Iran’s latest medical products now match — and in some cases rival — those developed by the world’s most advanced countries.
These achievements reflect growing cooperation among specialists in nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, hematology, and oncology.
What he’s saying:
Mohammad Eslami, speaking on the sidelines of Iran’s first joint conference of nuclear medicine, radio-oncology, hematology, and oncology specialists in Tehran, said:
“Cold plasma technology, combined with convergence among medical teams, allows patients to experience less pain and more effective treatment, giving them greater hope for life.”
“Iran’s latest cancer treatment products are among the world’s best. Only one or two leading countries have reached a similar level, and it is a great source of pride that our people benefit from these technologies.”
“This gathering has enabled active institutions in this field to move forward synergistically. This process has begun for the first time and will, God willing, continue in the future.”
Go deeper:
Iran has invested heavily in peaceful nuclear technologies, including radiopharmaceuticals and advanced cancer therapies.
Iranian scientists say domestic production has reduced reliance on foreign suppliers and ensured greater access for patients.
