U.S. researchers found specific changes in the blood of patients with two types of fatal cancer mesothelioma cancer and pancreatic cancer. This allows the physician to diagnose cancer at earlier stages.
The use of scanning technology, Inc. designs "and" exposed, the researchers say companies can detect early signs of cancer, pancreatic cancer and a type of lung cancer called mesothelioma in people who are not diagnosed for treatmentDisease. Minimum is detected when the cancer at an advanced stage, when treatment options, "said Rachel Ostroff, director of clinical research in the" exposed Inc., presented the results of a meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research recently in Denver.
Pancreatic cancer usually strikes without symptoms, and only recently detected in an advanced stage. The National Cancer Institute, said cancer of the pancreas is rarely curable. If cancer(Localized) or pancreas cure rates will be higher. However, it is usually best wishes to all cases, only slightly less than 20 percent.
For cancer patients who have less than 2 cm, with the spread of lymph nodes in cancer surgery can save patients up to five years at least. This possibility could reach 18-24 percent.
The pancreas is an organ like a sponge tube length of about 6 cm, which is dominated located behind the stomach. The pancreas produces enzymesand hormones, including insulin. Pancreatic enzymes help digest food in the small intestine, while insulin to control blood sugar levels. Both enzymes and hormones that work to correct for the maintenance of the body.
Men are twice as likely to attack the disease. Pancreatic cancer is more common in smokers than in nonsmokers. People with chronic diseases of the pancreas and those that are likely to suffer from longstanding diabetes (especially women) are moreRisk.
Meanwhile, a form of mesothelioma cancer protective coating is that the institutions most often caused by malignant cells that develop in the mesothelium, a more than covers. The most common of the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall), but may occur in the vaginal lining or pericardium.
Most people with mesothelioma asbestos particles caused by exposure frequently. washing clothes of a family member who worked withAsbestos can also be at risk of developing mesothelioma. Unlike lung cancer and mesothelioma is no connection between smoking e.
The symptoms of mesothelioma are shortness of breath due to pleural effusion (fluid between the lung and the chest wall) or chest wall pain, and also because of obesity. "This aggressive cancer detection at earlier stages of the patient for early treatment are identified that can improve their quality of life and the chance to recover," hehe said.
Pancreatic cancer is relatively rare, but is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States (USA). While mesothelioma, asbestos induced killed worldwide by about 15,000 to 20,000 people a year.
In October, NEC Corp of Japan to invest U.S. $ 5,000,000 as part of a strategic partnership "unmasked" with this goal in Colorado in technology, the detection of disease through examination of the protein in a drop of blood. Test "Debunked"aptamers is dependent on - a set of genetic material that is bound to protein. "Debunked a technology that makes the molecule more likely to resolve certain proteins improved.
For the study, the researchers tested the blood sample business case, two types of cancer, and those in the control group, which joined a condition characterized by symptoms similar to pancreatitis, and cancers such as lung fibrosis.
The team used computer models to significant differences inBiology or biological markers, blood samples from cancer patients with those who do not distinguish cancer.
For both types of cancer, the team is a biomarker that has found a high degree of accuracy in detecting any type of cancer, said Ostroff. They are also very specific in the sense that they are able to adequately remove people who do not suffer from cancer. Now biomarkers should be confirmed by further studies to ensure that the results are correct and can be played inDiagnostic tests. "It 's easy to find biomarkers," Ostroff said at the meeting. "It 's hard to do validation on them."
Ostroff said his team a number of factors, the false positive results, such as how long a sample on the shelf before it can be seen placed trigger tested. "We consider these points to ensure that we have observed biomarkers of disease," he said.
