Japan Gunma University available organic EL materials emitting identify cancer cells

Japan Gunma University Vice Chancellor Takeuchi, rows (endocrine metabolism), who had recently successfully developed through organic EL materials make the body's cells emit red light visible to new technologies.

Extremely small cancer cells to the naked eye alone is often overlooked. Allegedly, the technical inspection of tie, sight glass, helped to found the stomach and intestines and other organs on the surface of cancer cells.

As far as Takeuchi et al., organic EL materials "Iridium Luohuawu" in special light exposure, same with air oxygen concentration of about 20% of the environment does not glow, and in concentrations of less than 10% of the time it will glow.

Cancer cells from spreading fast and often in a State of low oxygen, so the "Iridium Luohuawu" effect can shine.

Takeuchi, etc. people will "Iridium Luohuawu" injection into a vein of the progression of cancer cells, success was occurring cancer in parts of the body.

Allegedly, the experiment even only 2 mm of cancer cells can also be recognized, as long as the distance of 1 cm below the surface depth can be found.

The technology applied to the body, through front-end from endoscopic injection "Iridium Luohuawu", after being absorbed by the digestive tract of emitting or not recognize cancer cells.

And current cancer check using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to the cost of this technology is relatively low.
