A probe for the isolation of cancer cells has appeared

The researchers noted that in the case of metastases and spread of cancer cells, survival

Therefore, it is imperative that cancer is detected and treated before this process begins, or at least in its early stages.To spread cancer, messenger cells known as circulating tumor cells, or CTCs, break away fromtumors and flow through the bloodstream, creating secondary growth.

In a new study, the team presentedan HB-MFP tool that can identify and isolate cells from blood samples. The device is mobile and scans the substrate with various bio-recognition receptors.

Using blood samples from prostate cancer patients,HB-MFP effectively isolates groups of cancer cells from 6 CTK / ml to 280 CTK / ml. In addition, CTX clusters up to 50 cells in size were successfully blocked.

“HB-MFP is the leading tool for moreeffective liquid biopsy and can be adapted to other cancers, such as breast and lung cancers, with minor modifications, the researchers noted. "We hope that our work will help make early diagnostic tools more effective and accurate."
