Scientists Create Cancer Detector by a sample of Urine
United Kingdom scientists create tools that can "smell" the presence of bladder cancer in urine samples. A tool that uses sensors to detect a carbonated chemical that exists when there is cancer cells.
Initial trials indicate a fairly accurate results, said the inventor of the journal PLoS One. However, experts say further studies are needed to refine the test before it is sold.
Every year about 10,000 people in the United Kingdom was diagnosed with bladder cancer. The doctors tried to figure out a way of detecting this type of cancer as early as possible because it is more possible to be healed.
A lot of people who are interested to learn the smell of urine. Previous trials showed that dogs can be trained to smell cancer cell Click.
Professor Chris Probert from Liverpool University and Professor Norman Ratcliffe from Universittas West of England, says this new tool can track smell cancer. "This tool can read the gas from the urine when the sample is heated," said Professor Ratcliffle.
Experts are testing the tool they are using 98 sample of urine, 24 of them from men exposed to bladder cancer and 74 from men who experience bladder disorders but not cancer.
Professor Probert said the results were so give hope but he added, "we need to examine samples from other patients to test the tool further before it can be used in hospital-the hospital." (BBC)
