America invented the "grain-ct scanner" to bring hope to cancer patients

() At the Chicago Tribune "reported that United States had developed a grain type ct scanner. This new generation of electronic scanners in CT tumor to treat time reconnaissance, largely solves the traditional scanners a clear image without cancer, dramatically increasing the probability of cure for lung cancer. This new instrument only one grain of rice. According to the new United Kingdom medical weekly on Wednesday released a major long-term studies show that 88% of patients with lung cancer in its early cancer tumors after CT scanning and after the surgery, will still be able to survive for 10 years or so.

Usually these early detected a cancer tumor cut cancer survive for 10 years or so the chance of cure for patients at 70%. But 85% of cancer tumor is in its deterioration is found, then the treatment becomes very difficult.

Many experts on this invention that publicity. They point out that now doctors can use such a CT scanner and more intimate contact, greater certainty and national first cancer killer. This instrument is currently only available in the onset of symptoms have lung cancer, also cannot do regular checks.

But there are still many experts say that the widespread use of the equipment needed to do before more research.

In this new instrument is concerned, there are issues that are due to all the participants took part in the scan, is also a group of similar but did not participate in the scan of a comparative study of the participants, the results did not clearly indicate that the instrument can effectively reduce mortality. Sometimes CT scans to some small wounds, for example small scratches, confusion, allowing patients to participate in additional tests and cause unnecessary worry.

Nevertheless, scientists or endorsed early cancer treatment plan results or encouraging and promising

"This is a great invention," University of Chicago study of Thoracic Oncology, Guia project leaders, said Dr. "Early, breast of technology led people to detect breast cancer revolution, now we believe, CT screen scanning technology can also be in lung cancer detection area to the same effect. ”

Currently, a lung cancer case 484 using this technology, which is early 412 cases. There is no diffusion and cancer treatment. This person in surgery 412 10 years after the live green to 88%. Which 302 in detection after a month it will move the survival rate goes up to surgery, 92%.

CT, meaning for the calculation of tier photography (computed tomography), at the beginning of the 1990s have been greatly improved, from every scan 30 images to 600 images, its detection capacity than x-rays to probe into small wounds. Now, a detailed radioactive scan just 15-20 seconds, just a closed air time.

Screen detection technology can help reduce breast cancer, cervical spondylosis, prostate, mortality rates, but early lung cancer detection technology also relatively backward, on the one hand, the early x-ray studies did not make good progress, but on the other hand is smoking.

"20 years, people can do for lung cancer or very few, it still is the first in a cancer killer. "Philadelphia Fox Chase Cancer Center, cancer prevention and detection, Mike-en-Gros said.
