Professor Igor Meglinski emphasizes that this breakthrough in analyzing crystal-like structures in dehydrated blood could detect prostate cancer in under 15 minutes with up to 90% accuracy.
The new method developed by Aston University researchers marks a significant shift in cancer diagnostics, potentially enabling earlier detection before symptoms manifest, significantly impacting personalized medicine.
Current prostate cancer detection methods, including PSA tests, are not sufficiently accurate, often requiring uncomfortable procedures like rectal exams and biopsies, underscoring the need for this innovative approach.
By studying 108 dry blood smear samples, researchers utilized advanced imaging techniques to analyze how proteins alter structure in early prostate cancer stages, paving the way for accurate diagnosis.
