The modern world embedded with all its advancements lacks cures of several diseases. The cancer is top ranking among these incurable diseases, which urges scientists and researchers to ponder about its final solution. Such struggle is fruitless still now; however, the early screening and detection atthe initial stages increase the survival chances manifold. This piece of writing will explore cancer screening or detection by summarizing some important articles, which potentially pace with the advancements of the modern world.
1. Study shows dogs can accurately sniff out cancer in blood. Canine cancer detection could lead to new noninvasive, inexpensive ways to detect cancer.
The article explores that various biological creatures with special quality traits may be utilized to help detecting cancer. In this context, the dogs are marvellous creatures with about 10000 times more accurate smell receptors compared to human beings. The study reveals that such special traits have been evolved in dogs who can sniff human blood samples with cancer infection and this detection accuracy is about ninety-seven percent. Such an accuracy and beneficial aspect may lead the researchers to apply dogs for cancer detection or screening in human beings. However, such detection may be executed in two ways. The first is the canine smell detection process while the second is sniffing some biological compounds for detection of cancer in humans.
2. Promising breath test for cancer. Potential for early warning of head, neck cancer
The analysis of man’s breath may be helpful in detecting cancer disease at early stage around the globe with acute accuracy. In addition, it would prove rapid detection phenomenon in alliance with cheapness and invasiveness. The most significant progression in this context is to devise such method to execute this plan efficiently. However, the researchers have progressed in developing such test method to detect cancer from exhalation profiles of breath process. This modern approach can differentiate between cancerous and non-cancerous body parts of humans easily and accurately, especially the cancer detection at neck and head region of body.
3. New tech takes radiation out of cancer screening.
Breast cancer is a silent killer for women’s communities around the globe. However, the researchers have gained progress to screen breast cancer at early stage and discover inexpressive treatment without radiation exposure. The adoption of this technique may save and secure the monetary resources and lives. The system adopted in this procedure revolve around software relating to artificial intelligence (AI) in alliance with harmless microwave. Such a system has ability to detect even very minute and early-stage tumors with minimal time usage.
4. New blood test improves prostate cancer screening.
In men population around the globe, the prostate cancer plays havoc and leaves lasting impacts. In modern times, researchers have deduced that MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is very useful tool for detecting prostate cancer and reduces over diagnosis. In addition, the same research team members discovered a novel blood test to detect or screen prostate cancer. This test is named as Stockholm3 test, and it is beneficial to reduce large number of MRI performances. However, it may detect minute or low risk tumors, which the MRI is usually unable to screen out.
5. First study of a multi-cancer blood test to screen for cancer guide intervention
Researchers have developed various tests and procedures to detect and screen tumors or cancerous parts in body. However, for the first time, multi-cancer blood test is devised to detect different kinds of cancers. The study is called as DETECT-A and provided evidence of about 9900 women sampling for cancer detection. All these women had no cancer history, but the liquid biopsy test have screened twenty-six cancers, which were undiagnosed. In addition, the system has devised to proceed a curative treatment, which has potency to heel the infections with rapid progress and inexpensive techniques.
