New method for diagnosing esophageal cancer and gastric cancer in minutes
Release date: 2015-06-29 According to a research team of Xinhua News Agency in the United Kingdom, a new breath test method has been developed to diagnose whether the subject has esophageal cancer and gastric cancer within a few minutes, which is simpler and less expensive than traditional test methods. The study was led by Imperial College. The school announced on the 23rd that the researchers found that patients with these two types of cancer had a series of special compounds in their breath, using instruments to measure the concentration of these substances, and then compared with endoscopy results, found that The higher the concentration of these substances, the greater the likelihood of developing a cancer. The researchers said that they have performed esophageal cancer diagnostic tests on 210 patients, and the results show that the accuracy of the new method can reach 90%, and the results can be obtained in a few minutes. At present, hospitals often need to extend the endoscope into the oral cavity when detecting esophageal cancer and gastric cancer. The cost is relatively high, the detection process is more uncomfortable for the patient, and it often takes a long time to know the diagnosis. Researcher George Hanna said that the new method can solve these problems well, so that patients can know if they are suffering from these two types of cancer as soon as possible, and the process is relatively simple. Next, the researchers will test 400 patients in three hospitals in the UK to continue to test the accuracy of this new method. In the future, it is expected to use the relevant technology to develop practical medical equipment to help doctors improve diagnostic efficiency.
