How Fujifilm’s AI-powered endoscopy changes the fight against colon cancer in the VAE and in the region.
A silent threat with growing effects
Dilter cancer is a critical health problem in the Mena region. In the VAE it is the leading cancer among Emirati men and the third most common in women. Around 200 new cases are reported nationwide every year, but there is a top cause of cancer-related deaths. Tragically, the disease develops silently, and if symptoms such as bleeding or pain occur, more aggressive treatment may be necessary. A survey showed that 63 percent of the participants did not need screening because they felt healthy. In later stages, however, about two thirds of colon cancer cases are found in the VAE, which makes the treatment results less cheap. If it is discovered early, colon cancer can have a healing rates of up to 90 percent.
Endoscopy enters the AI era
In order to improve early detection, the medical community of VAE includes highly developed AI-capable endoscopy systems analyze real-time videos during colonoscopy in which polyps or lesions are emphasized that could otherwise be overlooked. Several hospitals and health facilities have installed AI modules that increased the polyp detection, which reduces the mortality rates by previous diagnoses.

Fujifilm’s vision: smarter endoscopy for better results
At the head of these innovations is Fujifilm, a worldwide leading provider of healthcare solutions. The company’s Aipowered CAD eye system uses Deep -Lern -Lorithms to recognize and characterize polyps in real time. In addition, it introduced Skala Eye, a measurement function that supports endoscopists in estimating the lesion variables in the large intestine. By integrating progressive imaging and analytics, CAD and scale minimizes the risk of missing potentially dangerous growth, which increases early detection and prevention efforts.
Michio Kondo, MD of Fujifilm Middle East and Africa, said to Health: “Our innovative endoscopy solutions underline the Mission of Fujifilm Middle East and the Mission of Fujifilm to offer the technologies for the best in the Bestine Class for the VAE. Emirates, including the vision “We The Vae 2031”, emphasizes preventive care and early detection.
Fujifilm’s endoscopy innovation in the region
Fujifilm is not new in the health landscape of the Middle East. In the past ten years, the company has maintained strong partnerships with public and private hospitals and delivers a number of imaging technologies beyond endoscopy, from digital radiography to ultrasound. Due to the close cooperation with local clinics and administrators, Fujifilm fits its solutions to the specific needs of patients in the United Arab Emirates and in healthcare. This adaptability has accelerated the acceptance of advanced diagnostics and helped to position the VAE as the regional market leader for medical innovations.
Apart from the AI-controlled endoscopy systems, Fujifilm holds special imaging solutions and next generation endoscopes. By refining the visualization technologies, doctors can identify subtle tissue regulators earlier and increase the likelihood of effective treatment. The ongoing research and development of the company also offers promising procedures and to reduce the patient’s symptoms and at the same time maintain the diagnosis of the highest quality.
With a far -reaching portfolio, which ranges from medical imaging to minimally invasive operations, Fujifilm not only keeps up with the future of medicine, but also helps to define it. The company’s cloud-based AI-capable Synapse® Enterprise image system system asks in patient care by optimizing the access to comprehensive image data across the departments. In the meantime, the AI platform Reili® combines decades of imaging competence with future-oriented technology to increase diagnostic trust and at the same time facilitate the burden on revised doctors. From advanced MRI and ultrasound systems to state-of-vitro diagnostics for monitoring liver and laboratory tests, Fujifilm’s engagement for the exceeding of the limits of what is possible to redesign our detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
The power of screening and endoscopy
The screening is the most effective way to prevent colon cancer and improve survival. In the United Arab Emirates, health authorities recommend screening at the age of 40 due to a younger average start, formerly than in many western countries. For average risk people over 40, many doctors rage colonoscopy or an annual immunochemical faecal test (fit) every ten years.
Colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for the detection, so that doctors not only identify, but can also remove precancer vose in a single session. As doctors explain, removing this growth reduces the probability of a disease in the later stage. However, a study shows that only 9% of adults over 40 are followed by screening recommended in the VAE, often for fear of discomfort or cultural stigma.
Break obstacles with innovative screening
In order to promote participation, the health leaders of the United Arab Emirates carry out the more patient -friendly options. In Abu Dhabi, for example, the officials recently introduced a non -invasive blood test of the “liquid biopsy”, which recognizes signs of colon cancer without relying on stool samples or invasive procedures. In the event of a simpler way to detection, each risk marked by this test requires follow-up colonoscopy for confirmation and a possible removal of polyps.
A healthier future through early detection
With a view to the colon cancer strategy of the United Arab Emirates in the future, the screening rates and the use of AI concentrate to catch more tumors from the early stage. Higher public awareness and state -of -the -art diagnostic instruments can significantly reduce mortality from the disease. The message is clear to patients: colon cancer is often avoided by timely screenings and removing polyps before becoming malignant. For HCPs, AI supported endoscopy means less suspicious lesions undetected.
Thanks to the robust government of the government and companies such as Fujifilm Healthcare Solutions that are committed to new technologies, the VAE are on the right track to significantly reduce the risk of colon cancer. Since more and more residents accept regular screenings and medical specialists, endoscopy assumes with Aienhaanced endoscopy, fewer families will be exposed to diagnoses in the late stage. In fact, a future that is characterized by proactive, life -saving interventions and advanced care is within reach for municipalities in the emirates.
