journal published a study on its website
April 13th, 2012The UK “Nature-medical” journal published a study on its website on 18th, the study says German researchers used a new technology can make cancerous cells shining, doctors have used the technology successful for completion of the cancerous tissue with ovarian cancer people. This is the first time of doctors used this technology for humans.
Munich industrial university and other institutions researchers published a report together. The report said, their ovarian cancer patients in this type of surgery, most ovarian cancer cells in the malignant tumor had a special receptors, the experience and the folic acid combines with each other. Therefore, the researchers add in folic acid a fluorescent material, and put it into relevant organization again, the results of the combination of the tumor cells with folic acid can spread a special light under a special white light from outside.cheap coach sale shoes
With this technology, researchers can remove the cancerous tissue precisely in surgery. Vassilis works for the leadership organization, he said, during this time they used the new technology removed the size of less than 1mm cancerous tissue, and the theory of this technical accuracy can reach 50 microns. In cancer treatment, although there have X-ray scan, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonic and so on at present, they can use these variety ways to judge the size and location of the tumor, but in more accurate scale, they can not distinguish cancerous tissue and adjacent healthy tissue. And this new technology can help accurate judgment.coach online sandals
But the researchers also said the technology needs to be further perfected. For example a technique has been used means this technique still limited to mark ovarian cancer at the moment, in the future there can use two kinds of identification methods to ensure identifies other cancerous tissue. We still have a long way to go in this field.
