High-sensitivity bone marrow aspiration technology enhances leukemia cell detection
Date:10/6/2009

nd will help to ascertain proper dosage or termination of treatment for patients," said Flynn.

Furthermore, Larson said that SQUID will work well with current technologies to improve the detection of leukemia cells in the bone marrow. Chi Van Dang, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine, cell biology, oncology and pathology, and vice dean for research at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, believes this approach is quite different from the current standard. He suggested that the sensitivity compared to polymerase chain reaction still needs to be determined.

"In the case of leukemias without clear genetic markers, the magnetic needle could be useful," said Dang, who was not associated with this study, but is an editorial board member for Cancer Research. "It is possible that this technology could be used to detect cancer stem cells in general, if the proper antibodies with appropriate specificity are available."

Senior Scientific, LLC is currently participating in follow-up studies to increase the efficiency of the magnetic needle further through advanced magnet configurations and theoretical calculations.
