The Head of the Department of Pharmaceutics at the College of Pharmacy, Al-Nahrain University, Assistant Professor Dr. Yasser Qasim, has published a scientific chapter in collaboration with Professor Dr. Nidal Khazal Marai and Assistant Lecturer Aseel Suhail. The chapter is included in a peer-reviewed scientific book published by the international publishing house Springer.

📘 Chapter Overview:

The chapter discusses the latest research trends in skin cancer treatment, with a focus on developing modern therapeutic alternatives that may reduce the need for surgical intervention and minimize side effects.

🔬 Key Highlights:

•Advanced topical therapies using modern formulation technologies that enhance drug penetration into deeper skin layers, increasing efficacy against early-stage cancer cells.

•Development of photodynamic therapy based on the interaction of light with photosensitive drugs to generate reactive oxygen species that destroy cancer cells through multiple mechanisms.

•Application of magnetic field–based techniques showing promising results in reducing tumor size.

•Use of advanced preclinical evaluation techniques such as confocal microscopy, tumor xenograft models, and MRI imaging to precisely assess tumor response to treatment.

•Highlighting the growing role of artificial intelligence in accelerating drug discovery and improving drug efficiency, thereby enhancing clinical success rates.

🌍 This contribution represents a valuable addition to the scientific literature and reflects collaborative efforts in advancing pharmaceutical research.

✨ Congratulations to the esteemed researchers, with best wishes for continued scientific excellence and achievement.
