Komar Research Center and Medical Laboratory Sciences will host a symposium on cancer development and scientific breakthrough in early diagnosis and treatment of cancer who is the cause of millions of deaths every year in the world. Each presenter will have 15 minutes to present their seminar and a follow-up 5 minutes for questions
Speakers:
Dr. Govan Ali
Dr. Govand A. Ahmed born in 1977. He obtained his M.B.Ch.B at the University of Sulaimani in 2002 and he obtained Ph.D. in 2013 in the field of Clinical Biochemistry. His research area of interests male infertility in relation to hormonal changes and sperm analysis.
Dr. Govand will present a seminar on “Cancer Information: Definition, Early Clinical Signs, Types, and Recommendations“.
A summary of the presentation:
Cancers derive from single cells that have acquired the characteristics of continually dividing in an unrestrained manner and invading surrounding tissues
- The division of normal cells is precisely controlled. New cells are only formed for growth or to replace dead ones.
- Cancerous cells divide repeatedly out of control even though they are not needed, they crowd out other normal cells and function abnormally. They can also destroy the correct functioning of major organs.

Dr. Dana Ahmed (MBChB, MSc, PhD)
Dr. Dana is a lecturer at Sulaimani School of Medicine and visiting Hematopathologist in Hiwa Cancer Hospital. He granted his MSc and Ph.D. degrees (2004, 2011) from Salahaddin University and under supervisions of two well-known pathologists, Professor Anwar Sheikha, and an American pathologist, Professor Michael Donald Hughson, that now heading the department of pathology at Shorsh Pathology Department.
Dr. Dana is an active member academic staffs in the department of pathology and taught hematology and laboratory lectures to medical schools for the last 15 years.
Areas of interest known to Dr. Dana are Immunophenotyping techniques in cancer diagnosis and malignant hematopathology. Published related research papers and other about to publish all were related to hematology and cancer incidences and diagnoses techniques.
Dr. Dana will present a seminar on “Recent Data on Cancer Patients from Hiwa Oncology Hospital”.
A summary of the presentation:
Cancer is a grave disease and causing cause dreadful states both in the psychology and general health. Precise data is not available for most of us, many just concluded that cancer is increasing, that is for sure not based on any registration issues. Hiwa Hospital regarded as the only dedicated center to receive and manage cancer patients in the city of Sulaimani and surrounding areas.
According to the data collected during the past 6 years that analyzing more than 11,000 admissions; cancer incidence in approaching surrounding countries incidences but certainly is below that reported in the developed countries (Like the US and Europe). Another finding is that the list of the most common tumors in our community not like that of other areas. Possible changes in risk factors and response of our bodies to continuous potentials are the causes. More research projects demand to answer many questions that will arise in response to the problem of cancer here in Sulaimani.
