Saliva can find cancer? Japan research and development of new technology in saliva screening of cancer

Japan researchers reported that they developed a new technology, analysis of human saliva to screening for oral cancer, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer, cancer, and a high degree of accuracy.

Japan Keio University said in the press release, the cancer cell proliferation quickly than normal, affected by the saliva of hundreds of substance concentration variation occurs.

They adopted the earlier than to cancer patients and normal human saliva, found 54 amino acids exist significant differences of concentration.

Researchers turn to this amino acid analysis 54, discovery can take advantage of their accurate screening a variety of cancers, including oral cancer screening accuracy rate of 80 per cent, 95 per cent of breast cancer, pancreatic cancer for 99 per cent.

Screening for cancer and blood tests, saliva checks more convenient, and will not increase the burden on the body.

Next, the researchers also intends to develop less costly and easier operation of saliva analysis instrument to achieve practical level as soon as possible.
