TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT HAS RADICALLY CHANGED RESEARCH IN HEALTH SCIENCES AND CLINICAL PRACTICE. THIS TRANSFORMATION HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE TO DEVELOP RELIABLE METHODS FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS, BUT THERE ARE STILL NO TOOLS FOR INTRAOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS THAT CAN PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO THE SURGEON FOR MINIMAL INVASIVENESS. PHOTONICS, WHICH IS RECOGNISED BY THE EC AS AN ENABLING TECHNOLOGY, ALLOWS THE DEVELOPMENT OF NON-INVASIVE SYSTEMS CAPABLE OF VISUALISING OR DELIMITING PATHOLOGICAL TISSUES DURING SURGERY WITH OR WITHOUT LAUSILIO OF MARKERS. IN ADDITION, IN EMERGING THERAPIES, OTECNOLOGIES HAVE MADE IT POSSIBLE TO DEVELOP DIAGNOSTIC AND PERSONALISED THERAPY SYSTEMS THAT ARE OFTEN COMBINED IN THE SO-CALLED TERANOSTIC. THESE INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES ARE IMPORTANT FOR LÂONCOLOGY AND CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE, ALSO IN RELATION TOÂEPIDEMIOLOGY AND THE COST TO THE HEALTH SYSTEM. THE NEWMED RESEARCH PROJECT HAS
