A new method could speed up cancer diagnosis
A modern orvostudomány folyamatosan fejlődik, és a rákdiagnózis terén elért új eredmények jelentős áttörést hozhatnak. Az egyik legnagyobb kihívás a daganatos megbetegedések korai felismerése, hiszen a sikeres kezelés szempontjából kulcsfontosságú a betegség időben történő azonosítása. A legújabb kutatások azt mutatják, hogy a vérszérumból származó minták elemzése révén már a legkorábbi stádiumban képesek lehetünk a daganatos elváltozások kiszűrésére. A daganatos megbetegedések diagnosztikájának új megközelítése A daganatos megbetegedések korai diagnózisa különösen fontos, hiszen a korai stádiumban történő beavatkozás jelentősen növelheti a gyógyulás esélyeit. A HCEMM kutatócsoportja által kifejlesztett új eljárás lehetőséget biztosít arra, hogy a levett vérből származó minták elemzésével az orvosok gyorsan és pontosan azonosíthassák a daganatos elváltozásokat.
