00:00It is expected that more cancer patients will be helped by the government.

00:05Along with this, the Nuclear Medicine Research and Innovation Center of the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute of the DOST is being built.

00:12It is cheaper and more accessible for those in need.

00:16This is what Rod Lagusan wrote.

00:19It is very difficult to get sick, especially if it is a severe disease like cancer,

00:24which requires a long-term treatment and a lot of care.

00:29This is what is being built by the Nuclear Medicine Research and Innovation Center of the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology.

00:38And this is with the help of nuclear medicine.

00:40It is expected to be cheaper and more accessible, especially for those in need.

00:45What we're trying to aim is to lower the cost of cancer diagnosis in the Philippines.

00:50Because currently, it is actually available in private hospitals, but it's actually very expensive.

00:57So we want to make it more affordable, so that many Filipinos can really benefit from the nuclear technology.

01:05This is a big thing for early detection of cancer.

01:08The number of cancer cases in the country is increasing, which is also the lifestyle of the Filipinos.

01:13At present, the hospital itself is being built inside the Penaray compound.

01:17This is a chance for cancer staging, or the process to find out what is the status or stage of a cancer.

01:24Because early detection is very important when it comes to cancer prevention.

01:28In this regard, the most important part of the project is the equipment for this, such as the cyclotron.

01:34This is a particle accelerator that can produce a so-called radioisotope.

01:39From here, it will be processed in the radio pharmacy laboratory to become a radio tracer.

01:44And after it is probably saved, it will be injected to a patient.

01:49Since the radioisotope will be combined with a particular pharmaceutical agent,

01:55it will bind to areas where, for example, the most commonly used radio tracer is the FDG or Fluorodeoxyglucose.

02:04So it's a sugar.

02:05Cancer cells are very sugar-hungry, so they consume a lot of sugar.

02:11After the scan, it will really show that the distribution of our radio tracer is concentrated in areas where the cancer cells are high.

02:22Through the PET-CT scan, we can see the structural part of our body, such as the bones.

02:27It also sees the metabolic activity where a patient will be placed.

02:32Meanwhile, at the same time as the atomic energy week of Penaray,

02:37they continue to encourage young people to enter the field of nuclear science.

02:41Today is very important because they will be the future nuclear scientists and researchers of our country.

02:48That's why we put particular importance in engaging the youth in all atomic energy week.

02:54This is important for the continued study of more applications of nuclear science.
