Dissemination of tumor cells and efficiency of anticarcinogenic therapy can be fixed with the help of the tiny particles implanted into an organism.
American scientists have developed a method of joining microparticles (which can be seen during scanning) to a tumor.
Their purpose is to connect these particles with tumor cells for a long time.
Today determination of a correct doze of an anticarcinogenic medicine and revealing, whether it works correctly, is a great challenge.
Traditional analyses and blood tests can not show precisely the concentration of drugs in a tumor.
The project suggested by Massachusetts Institute of Technology will allow doctors to look “on the inside” of a tumor, using microscopic particles made of the iron oxide and covered with carbohydrates which reminds starch on a structure.
New technology offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology has preliminary character and has never been tested on people.
