Research: Now it will be possible to know whether there is cancer or not even without biopsy, scientists have discovered a new way

Research: Biopsy is done all over the world to detect cancer. Now scientists have developed a new painless method to detect the disease.

 

 

 

Research: Biopsies are done on people all over the world to detect diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer. However, this process is painful and that is why many people are afraid of getting a biopsy. As a result, timely treatment is not available and their disease worsens. This is why sometimes a disease like cancer even takes the life of the patient. In traditional biopsy, a piece of tissue is removed from the patient's body to find out whether the patient is suffering from a disease like cancer or Alzheimer's. But it seems that soon patients are going to get relief from this painful process, because after a long research, scientists have developed a patch that can collect microscopic information (molecular data) from the patient's tissue without damaging or removing them. The patient does not even feel pain in this process. This method will enable the healthcare team to monitor the disease in real time. Not only this, since this process does not destroy the tissue, the same tissue sample can be taken several times and it can be examined repeatedly. Which was impossible earlier.

 

patch works fast

Scientists at King's Coles London have developed a patch that contains nanoneedles thinner than a human hair. Covered with millions of nanoneedles, the patch can painlessly extract microscopic data from tissues without removing or damaging them. The patch will provide real-time disease monitoring, especially for conditions such as brain cancer and Alzheimer's, and could fundamentally change the way doctors diagnose and track disease. The patch works quickly, attaches to common medical devices - such as bandages, endoscopes and contact lenses - and uses AI to deliver results. This will allow doctors to provide better treatment and surgery to patients based on personalized medicine. The research has been published in the scientific journal, 'Nature Nanotechnology'.

Scientists have been working on nanoneedles for 12 years

Dr. Ciro Chiappino, the scientist leading the research, says that 'they have been working on nanoneedles for twelve years. They believe that this is their most exciting development so far, which opens the door to possibilities for personalized medicine, i.e. treatment according to the patient's needs, including patients suffering from brain cancer and Alzheimer's.' This technology can be used to help surgeons make faster and more accurate decisions during brain surgery. For example, by applying a patch to a suspicious area (places suspected to have disease), results can be obtained within 20 minutes and a decision can be made in real time about removing the cancerous tissue. In this way, with the help of this patch, it will be possible to identify and diagnose the disease without delay.
