조직검사 없이도 암세포가 자라는지 판단하는 의료기구가 싱가포르에서 개발되었다고 싱가포르 일간지 더스트레이트타임스가 보도했다.
싱가포르국립대학교 소속 연구진이 개발한 이 기술은 몸 안에 기계를 집어넣어 암세포를 확인하는 조직검사가 필요없다.
또한 암세포가 퍼지기 전에 환자에게 알릴 수 있어 앞으로 큰 반향을 일으킬 것으로 보고 있다.
현재 임상실험 중인 이 기구는 500명이 넘는 환자들에게 사용됐으며 특히 위장 관련 암과 자궁경부암 환자를 대상으로 실험되고 있다. 연구진은 5년 안에 상업화될 것이라고 예상했다.

Cancer screening without biopsy, invented in Singapore
Researchers from the National University of Singapore have invented a screening tool to make cancer diagnosis less subjective.
Once inserted into a patient‘s body, the tool is able to immediately recognize whether a particular patch of tissue it is touching might be cancerous without the need for a biopsy.
As such, the tool can be used to alert patients even before cancer cells start to emerge in them.
The tool is currently being used in clinical trials, and has been tested on more than 500 patients so far. Although it focuses more on diagnosing gastrointestinal cancers, it has also been tested on cervical cancer, for instance. Plans are underway for commercialization of the technology in less than five years. (The Strait Times)
