Blood Test for Cancer Innovator Johnson and Johnson:
A new test can be. A single cancer cell among billions of healthy cells in a small blood sample development Green, Johnson & Johnson, Ortho Biotech Oncology Research and Development (ORD), a unit of Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical R & D collaboration with researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH, Boston, MA). During the test on the market
the first prototype was developed by a team of doctors, engineers and biologists, Dr. Daniel Haber and Toner Mamet at Massachusetts General Hospital was held for the first time in 2007, was developed. The test detects cancer tumor cells in the blood circuit (CTC), cancer cells, the release of the tumor, and is carried out from the blood stream. These CTCs are extremely rare, perhaps even billions of healthy cells examined blood cancer can be detected.
Toner and thousands CTC-chip miniature pillar tie covered with blood cancer antibody developed by CST. If a blood sample is passed over the chip to normal cells, but CTC staff. Special stains, researchers can count the number of CTCs in the blood sample of a patient.
This test can be used to make a blood cancer continuing medical decisions quickly as in the treatment of cancer patients. If a doctor gives a particular drug and the number of cancer cells in a drop of blood from the patient, the doctor with this treatment. If the number of tumor cells circulating in the blood or stay the same, your doctor may switch to another drug and may work better to kill the cancer.
For example, doctors can give a drug or radiation treatment and then to see run, CT month later, when the patient has reduced the tumor in size. A patient cannot adapt to life more than a few rounds of treatment if they wait to see whether a change in tumor size is evident. While the TC is a full-body X-rays, the CTC-chip is simple and requires only a few tablespoons of blood and can determine whether the treatment was successful before.
The CTC-chip was tested experimentally in 200 cancer patients. A donation of $ 15 million from the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the. Stand Up to Cancer telethon will enable researchers from four research institutions; the evidence for cancer patients, these institutions must be examined: the Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, MA), University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX), Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Boston, MA) and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (New York, New York).
At this point, the chip is capable of is expensive (about $ 500), and requires experience. Collaboration with Johnson & Johnson to help researchers, of the MGH-chip solution paths is faster, cheaper to operate, more sensitive and easier to doctors. Hopes are high. This chip is how it is diagnosed and treated in the near future.
