The British find cells with cancer before the appearance of the tumor.
To identify cells with mutations before the human body will appear a cancer, British scientists have learned.
The potential of the patient is changing the color of the cells.
This is the first signal that it’s time to assign measures of treatment and prevention. Your achievement they said during the British science festival.
The color of the cells is increased due to mutations of proteins on the surface of blood rings. In a healthy person incorrect protein structure can be 5 per million, whereas in cancer patients is 50-100 cases per million.
“The old saying” no smoke without fire ” in this situation acts as a “no cancer without mutations”, as this process is the cause of the disease,” says Dr. Gareth Jenkins.
Researchers are monitoring the blood of healthy people, and patients who found cancer of the esophagus.
Thanks to earlier diagnosis, doctors hope first and foremost to help those people who already have cancer of different organs. Argue that if the tumor arose in one body, it is much easier to remove than when it has spread to several organs.
