American scholars invented visual glasses to clearly "see" cancer cells

Release date: 2014-02-25


Through a pair of special high-tech glasses, the doctor carefully removed the cancerous tissue that flashed blue light... On February 10, local time, a special surgery was carried out in a hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. The visual technology, the cancer cells that were originally invisible, became invisible. According to US media reports, this pair of glasses that can "see" cancer cells was successfully developed by Professor Samuel Achille, a professor of radiology and biomedical engineering at the University of Washington (WU). Ideally, it can help surgery. The doctor completely removes all cancerous tissue at one time during the operation. It is well known that cancer cells are difficult to detect even under a high-performance microscope. But with this pair of glasses, doctors can easily distinguish between healthy cells and cancer cells, so as to ensure that no cancerous tissue is missed during the first operation, and the possibility of a second resection to "check for missing traps" is greatly reduced. According to reports, when using, it is necessary to apply a specific molecular agent to the tumor and its surrounding tissues. The agent will adhere to the cancer cells, causing them to emit invisible light. Then, the surgeon will wear a shape. The helmet-mounted display of glasses, through custom video technology, can see where cancer cells are distributed. “At the moment, we are still in the early stages of research and will carry out more improvement and testing work in the future.” Breast surgeon Julie Maguta is the surgeon who performed the operation on the 10th, and is also the first to use cancer in practice. The person who sees the glasses in the cell, "we think that this new technology will benefit patients a lot, we are very motivated." According to the current medical procedures, surgeons need to remove the tumor and its surrounding tissues during surgery, and in these tissues Cancer cells may or may not be present. Subsequently, the excised tissue specimens are sent to a pathology laboratory for testing. If cancer cells are found therein, a second or even multiple operations are required until the cancerous tissue is completely removed. According to Magtaler, relying on existing technology, it is impossible to determine the full range of cancerous tissues, so about 20% to 25% of breast cancer patients undergo a second surgery after undergoing the first surgical resection of the tumor. "With this cancer cell eyeglasses, all cancerous tissue can be removed at one time during the first operation. This means that there is no need for follow-up surgery, and the patient does not have to bear the attendant pain and surgery costs." Tale hopes that this new technology will reduce or even completely eliminate the second surgery.
