Previous screening methods for colorectal cancer included injection of certain molecules, and the new method reject the invasive part using modified bacteria from yogurt.
Scientists from the Institute of Technology of Massachusetts came to a simple method for detecting cancer, which only includes yogurt and urine test.
Professor Sangita Bhatia managed to develop molecules that act as biomarkers in detecting cancerous cells in colorectal cancer. If these molecules are drunk with yogurt, they find their way to the cancer cells, where enzymes are broken down to small particles that are ejected from the body through urine.
All you need is a small piece of paper to collect these particles.
Previous screening methods for colorectal cancer included injection of these molecules, and the new method of reject the invasive part using modified bacteria from yogurt.
Tests were carried out in mice, while in clinical trials in humans; this method would prove extremely simple and cheap in detecting the evil disease.
According to the American Association Against Cancer (ACS), only 40% of people with colorectal cancer have early diagnosis of the disease, due to insufficient examination.
