Diagnosis of breast cancer through hair

Australian scientists are recruiting 2,000 women to participate in testing new techniques for diagnosing cancer (Artwork: Ititesting.net) Breast cancer promises a lot more comfort, efficiency and simplicity than mammography.

Fermiscan's X-ray team found that when several hairs were placed under a synchrontron - an accelerator could emit a powerful beam of X-rays - whether or not the person had breast cancer. . Fermiscan's Dr. Ron Shnier said the X-ray absorption analysis of hair fibers can help identify signs of breast cancer.

Initial test results for 500 women showed that this technique has a high degree of accuracy and can overcome the disadvantages of mammography such as missing out on cancer signs in young women or having High risk of genetic disease. In addition, radiation emitted from mammography may also increase the risk of developing breast cancer.
