Cancer and Diabetes could be Detected Early Through Saliva

In the next few years, detection of malicious diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart, it would be much more sophisticated, simple, efficient and easy.

Researchers from Malmo University in Sweden suggests, various diseases can be detected early by simply checking the patient's saliva.

This detection, is expected to save time and cost. Both patients and physicians are issued, because patients only send samples of salivanya to the doctor.

Via saliva, doctors can identify the disease indicators.

"Instead of going to the doctor, the patient lived took samples of saliva with cotton bud and sends it to the analyst or the doctor. If the test shows, the patient will be asked to check with a doctor, "said lead researcher Professor Björn Klinge, as TRIBUNnews.com quoted from the Daily Mail.

However, as previously mentioned, it still takes a long time to really ensure the accuracy of detection. At least five to ten years.

"This time, we've been able to use saliva to detect a patient suffering from dangerous diseases, but we haven't been able to mendignosis whether the disease menjakit certain body parts," said Bjorn.

In addition, differences in body condition with bodily fluids, such as blood and saliva, are also a factor determining physician barrier an accurate indicator of the disease.

"We hope to find soon a component in the saliva that can indicate if the patient concerned has the possibility of having the disease," said Bjorn.

He also hoped the medical technology, the development of an increasingly sophisticated adults this can accelerate the work doctors found such indicators.
