Emad Shash, Leading Cancer Researcher and Director at the National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Proud to share 2025 operational highlights from the Breast Cancer Comprehensive Center (BCCC), National Cancer Institute, Cairo University — a year defined by teamwork, scale, and patient-centered care.
Behind every number is a person, a family, and a journey we are committed to improving.
2025 in numbers (BCCC – NCI Cairo University):
- 177,741 total hospital visits | 115,626 OPD visits.
- 6,342 new patients welcomed into care.
- 8,104 MDT/medical committee discussions supporting precise decision-making.
Treatment and supportive care:
- 36,101 chemotherapy sessions.
- 16,909 radiotherapy sessions.
- 1,423 surgeries performed.
- 4,855 education and psychological support encounters.
- 5,252 therapeutic nutrition clinic visits.
- 2,412 physiotherapy visits.
Diagnostics enabling timely, accurate care:
- 58,131 lab visits.
- 6,481 mammogram and ultrasound.
- 3,518 CT scans.
- 753 biopsies.
- 2,827 echo scans.
None of this is possible without the relentless commitment of our multidisciplinary teams—medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, pathology, nursing, pharmacy, patient navigators, patient educators, supportive care, administration, and every colleague working behind the scenes to keep care moving safely and efficiently.
As we step into 2026, our focus remains clear: earlier diagnosis, faster pathways, higher quality, better patient experience, and stronger outcomes—at scale, and with dignity.”
