Cancer was that the “any punches either,”

3, according to Reuters report, scientists have discovered, and the ripe fruit of the same cancer cells softer than healthy cells. The discovery may help doctors diagnose, differential may be the most lethal tumors.
The researchers used a technique called atomic force microscope nano-devices, detection thorn healthy cells and from the primary tumor location, cancer cells spread. Upon examination, pancreatic, breast and lung cancer patients than in healthy cells as much as 70% of soft.
The new study, published in the United States, “Nature Nanotechnology” magazine. University of California at Los Angeles Jonsson Cancer Center’s Gyan I Rao, said: “We are the bottom line is that apart from research and analysis using molecular methods other than cancer cells, but also cancer cells using this technology perception. We believe that this found to be helpful for doctors to diagnose cancer. “
The researchers have carried out various types of cancer cells were examined, these cells have shown a similar softness, this discovery will help distinguish between healthy cells and diseased cells.
The technology may represent a new method of cancer detection, particularly in cancer cells in body fluids, since the use of current technology is difficult to diagnose cancer fluids. The researchers said the traditional diagnostic methods for identifying body fluids of cancer by about 30% of cancer cases in the study, the end of spring tube microscope, there is a small tilting angle may be spying on the cell surface, to determine their degree of soft or hard.
University of California at Los Angeles professor of chemistry James Ji Mize Krzyzewski is another research staff, he said in a statement: “It’s like you see in the supermarket has two flush of tomatoes, a has been decomposed, but the surface looks pretty good. If you pick up pinch, you can easily know which decay, our study is the same token, we explore and test cells in gill softness, from the ‘soft’ The cancer cells ‘singled out’. “
If the cancer has spread from the primary location, such as pancreatic cancer cells spread to other parts of the body – a process called metastasis, tumor cells can cause the body cavity of the body fluids of congestion, such as chest and abdominal cavity. If we can quickly and accurately diagnose the cancer cells in body fluids, the doctor will understand how serious the patient’s condition and make treatment decisions.
