SIOP-Asia Continental Conference
Dear Mr. Alami
I wish to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation and many thanks for the continous valuable information on Oncology activities in the region and abroad.
You may be aware that the next SIOP-Asia continental Conference will be held in Muscat Oman on Feb 2008. This is a biennial meeting; for the 1st time held in an Arab Middle Eastern country.
For more information you can visit our website at: www.infomedweb.com/ourevents/SIOP2008
I sincerely believe that such a Mega Educational Event will immensely improve care and thus outcome and quality of life for our young Cancer Sufferers However this can only be achieved with the necessary support of members like yourself. I would therefore like to encourage more participation from colleagues in the region and also to extend an invitation to you.
With Kind Regards

Thanks for the Info Dr. Lamki
Did you know that:
Most of us in the Gulf send our samples to be tested in the West. I would like to change this. I have set up a state of the art Laboratory for molecular oncology in the University of Kuwait, Faculty of Medicine and we perform routinely the following tests.
For Breast Cancer: Her2/Neu amplification by FISH (FDA Approved), BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation analysis
FOR Colorectal cancer: Hereditary Poliposis coli screen (MLH1,MSH2,MSH6, Immunohistochemistry, allelotyping and sequencing)
Prediction of metastasis tests using genome-wide scans and RKIP
For Bladder Cancer: Multi-signal FISH a non-invasive highly sensitive test for the early detection of Bladder Cancer. The test is designed to detect aneuploidy for chromosomes 3, 7, 17, and loss of the 9p21
Fluorescent in Situ hybridisation and PCR for Lymphomas and leukemias (you request the translocation and will do it)
Comparative Genomic Hybridisation and microarray CGH to detect chromosomal copy number changes in cancers
As the tests are very expensive in the West we have cut our costs significantly and will be willing to offer the tests at cost price.
