DYSIS colposcopy uses spectral imaging to help clinicians highlight any areas of concern by mapping out the condition of a woman’s cervix. In clinical trials, it has been shown to significantly boost sensitivity in detecting cervical cancer in its earliest stages. Armed with this additional information, clinicians are able to take immediate steps to treat patients and prevent disease progression. The Preventive Health conference is focussed on steps can be taken to significantly reduce life-threatening diseases such as cervical cancer.
The symposium will consist of presentations by eminent European Gynaecologists who are using DYSIS as a routine part of their practice and details of the clinical trials results that have been published over the last three years.
