Now Urine Will Tell the Story of Cancer! Know how the picture of medical science is going to change
Identifying lung cancer may now be easier and more effective than ever. Scientists have developed a new method that will help detect the early signs of cancer.
Identifying lung cancer may now be easier and more effective than ever. Scientists have developed a new urine test that can help detect early signs of cancer. This discovery has the potential to bring a new revolution in medical science.
Most cases of lung cancer in England are detected when the disease has reached its final stage. According to data from Cancer Research UK, 46% of cases are detected when treatment options remain limited. There are 43,000 new cases in the UK every year, but only 10% of these patients survive 10 years after treatment.
How does this test work?
Scientists at Cambridge University have developed this test, which identifies 'zombie cell proteins' in urine. These proteins indicate the early signs of lung cancer. This test has been successfully implemented on mice. Scientists claim that this technique can also detect other types of cancer, such as breast cancer, skin cancer and pancreatic cancer.
Scientist
Lijaljana Fruk says that tissue changes before it becomes cancerous. In these, damaged cells release a special type of protein, which this test can identify. This means that treatment can be started only when the first signs of cancer are found, which will increase the chances of survival of the patient.
The state of lung cancer in India reported 72,510 new cases of lung cancer in 2020, which is 5.9% of the total cancer cases. In the same year, there were 66,279 deaths due to this disease. Air pollution and tobacco use are the major causes of this disease in India.
This new urine test can make a big difference in the treatment of cancer. Early detection will not only save the life of the patient but will also reduce the cost of treatment. Scientists believe that this technique can be used in the detection and prevention of every type of cancer in the future.
