Already, scientists have been surprised that more cancer patients harbor these errant cells that have been believed. In one study, the test has been used on men thought to have cancer confined to the prostate, but we found these cells in two thirds of patients.
You could see the number of cancer cells and show that it has decreased over time. It was what the scans showed, people said doctors looking at her blood tests. The trial also showed when he had a setback last January and needed to have his salary adjusted.
Normally the affected individual may be the first one to spot the cancer symptoms and signs first during self examination. But the physicians or doctors aside from examining the person physically might also suggest him to endure numerous diagnostic tests and laboratory tests including blood tests, ultrasound scans and biopsy. Once the presence of cancer is found then the physician might ask the person to undergo few more tests to discover if the disease has spread from the place of origin to other body parts. This can help them to discover the stage of the disease and in addition helps them to device a treatment plan appropriately.
To detect very rare cells, the new technology uses tiny channels dug into a silicon chip coated with a special substance as glue. The technology is able to pick up, about 10 cancer cells per milliliter of blood in patients with metastatic cancer, a disease that has spread from a primary tumor to other parts of the body.
