A unique new development for the diagnosis of lung cancer

legkieThe problem of diagnostics of oncological diseases of the lungs remains critical, despite the measures taken. Innovative way to detect lung cancer created by scientists from the Israeli company BioView, together with colleagues from the United States.

The basis of a new diagnostic device, a scanner that can identify specific FISH markers. With the help of this scanner is possible to analyze sputum from the bronchi and alveoli and study in cells. If the surface of the cells detected by FISH markers, then the process of malignancy is already running. In this way, it is planned to diagnose lung cancer in its earliest stages, when there are no manifestations yet.

The problem today in the diagnosis of lung cancer lies in the method by which revealed this problem. While leading x-ray method, however, it is not possible to see small lesions, so often the disease is detected at a fairly late stage. More accurate data is obtained during a CT scan, but in this case it is difficult to count on early detection.

Innovative development experts of the company BioView is still under clinical trials. The basis for this are two clinics in the US and the medical center Sourasky in Israel, as well as laboratory OncoMDx in California.
