Beauty treatment with developed new microarray human malignant disease

United States Rice University scientists have recently developed a new type of treatment with bio-chip, the chip can be used to check whether the patient has a variety of malignant disease, 52-patient trial this chip device, the detection accuracy rate of 93%, this device compared with traditional testing equipment to human harm smaller, diagnosis and treatment costs and the time are also low in clinics.

The Nano-bio-chip is a semiconductor device that can be the body's biological markers for acquisition, dyeing and analysis, and then to determine whether the patient is suffering from some sort of malignant disease, can detect the type of the disease is very rich, from heart disease, AIDS to the trauma.

This chip devices can greatly reduce the worldwide cost of hospital treatment.

Where oral cancer worldwide each year, 30 million cases of illness, United States regions suffering from the disease this year it is expected that the patient is 3.5 million, suffering from the disease of the patient's five-year survival rate of only 60%, and if detected early enough for the patient is suffering from this disease, its 5-year survival rate will increase to 90%.

This chip equipment advantages not only that you do not have to check the patient, and slice through troubleshooting time only need 15 minutes, compared to traditional testing methods several days shorten a lot.

According to the inventor of the equipment that they will be in Houston, San Antonio, and the United Kingdom in 500 patients who continue to try out this device, and hope that this device can be in 2-4 years, through the food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval.

At the same time, the research team also actively developing another chip products, it is understood that this chip can further determines that the detection of objects that have an ordinary disease or malignant disease.
