A team of researchers from the United States and China found a way to quickly diagnose pancreatic cancer, which can be detected with a drop of blood.
The team reported in the latest issue of the British journal Nature Biomedical Engineering that they found that pancreatic cancer cells carry a protein called EphA2, which can be tested from 0.001 ml of plasma for the presence of this protein. This diagnoses pancreatic cancer.
The researchers say that the current method of finding whether the blood contains pancreatic cancer markers requires more blood to be collected, which is time consuming and costly, and their method is "quick, cheap and super sensitive."
Agence France-Presse reported that in small-scale trials, the new method distinguishes between pancreatic cancer patients and healthy people, as well as patients with pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers. It is concealed and usually has no obvious symptoms at the beginning. It is often developed to the late stage when it is discovered, which is difficult to contain.
"Nature·Biomedical Engineering" magazine commented that the new method for diagnosing pancreatic cancer still needs large-scale trials, but it brings hope for early detection of the disease and early treatment.
