Women with suspected uterine cancer will significantly reduce the waiting time for biopsy results.
Researchers at Imperial College London have found a new surgical tool that can detect cervical cancer in seconds. The Guardian writes about it.
As you know, this type of cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in women.
The breakthrough is the revolutionary surgical knife iKnife, which is already used to treat breast and brain cancer.
It can diagnose and identify endometrial cancer in seconds with an accuracy of 89%. This will reduce ongoing delays for women waiting for histopathological diagnosis.
The knife works on the current. It examines the smoke emitted when the biopsy tissue evaporates after it is removed from the uterus.
“The long wait for biopsy test results causes stress for hundreds of thousands of women around the world. When women first hear that cancer is possible, they are overwhelmed by the stress and the two-week wait for the results does not increase peace of mind. That is why the researchers and Eve Appeal believe that the new study can be revolutionary in its own way,” the scientists said.
It will be remembered that earlier at the Medical University of South Carolina an effective natural cure for cervical cancer was found.
