Fluorescent spray created to help cancer detection

A couple of months ago we told about an experiment with fluorescent cats help fight HIV . Now, the ability to absorb energy and then emitted as light could also help fight cancer . Scientists at the University of Tokyo, Japan, and the National Institutes of Health, United States, have created a spray that can illuminate the cancer cells, thus allowing surgeons to remove them to detect human body . As reported in BBC , this spray will be helpful in the operating room and help you locate even the most microscopic foci of tumors. How do I use this spray?

During surgery or endoscopy, physicians should apply spray that will cause in a matter of minutes 'illuminate' the cancer cells. The chemical reaction caused by this substance will display the microscopic cells are dispersed in the body, and that naked eye, would be impossible to locate. According to research published in the journal Science Translational Medicine and released by BBC World , this tool promises to be very useful for better detection of the disease. Thanks to the doctors fluorescent effect can confirm that during operation to remove cancer cells, there is not a tumor remaining in the body of their patients.
