HTTP:: Microchip Detects Type and Severity of Cancer
--------
In many forms of cancer â€" one of the fastest-spreading diseases in the world today â€", detecting the conditions as early on as possible is the only chance the patient has of ever getting better. In reality, only a small portion of the people suffering from the disease is not identified too late, and doctors can only ensure that it suffers as little as possible. In order to curb this tendency, experts at the University of Toronto, in Canada, have devised a new microchip able to detect cancer.Additionally, the instrument is also able to specify the type and severity of the condition, so doctors can get on with medicating or otherwise treating the patients as soon as possible. “This remarkable innovation is an indication that the age of nanomedicine is dawning. Thanks to the breadth of expertise here at U T, cross-disciplinary collaborations of this nature make such landmark advances possible,†the UT President and Professor of Medicine, David Naylor, says of the new mi!
crochip. Details of the detection method appear in the September 27 issue of the respected journal Nature Nanotechnology.An analysis conducted with the UT device can be completed in only 30 minutes. The microchip works by detecting biomarkers, molecules that are specific to certain types of...
