We are hosting the NESRO CME Program at Kathmandu Cancer Center. From tongue cancer brachytherapy to Total Skin Electron, real-world cases and future directions: an evening of learning and dialogue.

The only scientist to whom two medical specialties owe their existence:Nuclear Medicine & Radiation Oncology ,and who inspired Radiology itself.
Born this day, Marie Skłodowska-Curie (Nov 7, 1867) — the reason we celebrate World Medical Physics Day.
#MedicalPhysicsDay
Happy Birthday to Marie Curie - the only person in history to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences.
Her work on radioactivity didn’t just change physics & chemistry - it changed medicine, cancer treatment and the way we understand matter itself.
पेरिफेरल टोलरेन्स : शरीरको आत्म-नियन्त्रण प्रणाली
कल्पना गर्नुहोस्: केही सुरक्षा कोषिका गल्तिले "आफ्नै टिम"मा आक्रमण थाल्छन्।
पेरिफेरल टोलरेन्सले यस्ता कोषिकालाई रोक्छ।
यो खोजले Lupus, Diabetes र क्यान्सर जस्ता रोगको उपचारमा क्रान्ति ल्याउन सक्छ!
#NobelPrize2025#CancerResearch
२०२५ को नोबेल पुरस्कार "प्रतिरक्षा सहनशीलता" (Immune Tolerance) मा - शरीरको सुरक्षा प्रणालीले आफ्नै अंगलाई आक्रमण नगर्ने तरिका बुझाउने खोजमा प्रदान गरिएको छ।
तर क्यान्सर अत्यन्त चलाख हुन्छ। यसले आफूलाई "शरीरकै अंश" जस्तो देखाएर प्रतिरक्षा प्रणालीलाई नै आफ्नो रक्षक बनाउँछ। #Cancer
BREAKING NEWS
The 2025 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.”
तर क्यान्सर कत्ति चलाख हुन्छ थाहा छ?
यसले आफूलाई "शरीरकै एक सामान्य अंश" जस्तो देखाउँछ।
त्यसपछि हाम्रो प्रतिरक्षा प्रणालीका रक्षक कोषिका (Regulatory T cell) भ्रममा पर्छन् र क्यान्सर कोषिकालाई नै "सुरक्षा" गर्न थाल्छन्!
परिणाम: हाम्रो आफ्नै सुरक्षा प्रणाली क्यान्सरको रक्षक बन्छ।
Congratulations to Dr. Sunil K. Shrestha from Kathmandu Cancer Center for being listed among the World’s Top 2% Scientists Network! 🌍
Proud moment for Nepal 🇳🇵 and a recognition of dedication to advancing cancer care & research.
