America developed a new tool for diagnosis and treatment of cancer

26, published a paper, said the researchers developed a gene mapping tool that can better diagnose and treatment of common tumors.
According to Agence France-Presse reported, this study focused on mapping the most common and deadly brain tumor molecular characteristics of early, resulting in nuclear magnetic resonance scanning to distinguish it belongs to what type of seeds.

The paper published in the United States, "National Academy of Sciences" magazine published an advance on. Paper the main author, University of California, San Diego, Michael? Guo (sound) said that the same method can also be used to better identify other tumor types.

Guo and his research team used samples to be tested in vivo for different sub-types of cancer genetic structure, mapping, and these results provide in vivo mapping of samples of patients with MRI scan results were compared.

He said: "This is a powerful, scalable technology. It can be with different combination of scanning technology, but also can be applied to different types of tumors, such as liver cancer."

Although this technology for clinical applications still need to undergo further tests before, but it can help doctors confirm the future, what kind of treatment for the tumor sub-types of what to design a better treatment programs.

Guo said: "The medical goal is the right medicine. This technology has the potential are showing signs that might help us achieve this goal the initial prospects."
