Potential Cure For Cancer Discovered
The unusual cells that may spread cancer are hard to isolate from millions of other cells. The new device, a potential cure for cancer, has been developed by scientists at Princeton and Boston Universities to direct and focus cell streams in a liquid and separate them out according to the size.
The device is in fact a silicon wafer with rows of small pillars through which a flow is made from a liquid that contains particles of various sizes. Thanks to friction, the liquid moves more slowly close to the pillars. This way, small particles are unaffected, but those acceding a critical size are sorted out.
The usual cancer treatment may include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery, hormone and biological therapy. The doctor can use a combination of methods, which depends on the location and type of the cancer, the patient’s age and health status, whether the disease has spread and other factors. But treatment for cancer may also damage healthy tissues and cells, and in that case it often results in side effects.
The device hasn’t been used anywhere socially, but this discovery may get the phenomenal turn and save many lives.
