Ductal lavage may detect early breast cancer

.... Saraswathi Sukumar, have devised a new method of detecting early stages of breast cancer by using a new method called ductal lavage. Ductal lavage, involves "washing" breast milk ducts with saline and examining cells for signs of precancerous or cancerous changes. Sukumar's team examined samples of ductal f...

Better prostate cancer detection

Recently a more extensive biopsy detecting technique for prostate cancers has been found out by researchers. This is very effective than the traditional examination. In the traditional exam for prostate cancer, the doctor takes six tissue samples from the prostate gland. At Ohio State Un...

Detection of Cancer

...e, will determine the sensitivity of the C-Test in detecting cancers. The hope is that it will complement existing diagnostic procedures, and thereby improve the accuracy of cancer detection. The first stage of the test, C-Test1, uses a technique called mass spectrometry to search for the diagnostic molecule,...

Benefit of colonoscopy

...Colorectal cancer screening tests are valuable for detecting bowel cancer and polyps before any symptoms develop. In the US, it's recommended that screening - either with a faecal occult blood test (FOBT), sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy - should start at age 50 and earlier in those with a family history of colon...
