Proteome System has partnered with Egenix Cancer Diagnosis Company, USA to develop the production of new instruments to diagnose prostate cancer.

This new diagnostic tool will check for the occurrence of cancerous antigen (HCA) in male semen.

Stephen Porges, Proteome's official representative, said the device could be ready to be used within the next one to two years.

It will give more accurate results than the current prostate cancer test.

Current diagnostic tools work by blood tests to determine prostate cancer. They only detect disease when the cancer cells spread or spread into the blood.

It is hoped that the development of prostate cancer diagnostic instruments based on semen test results in higher success. The deviation ability of this new diagnostic tool is much lower than the current tool.

However, the Proteome System company is also concerned, whether men provide their semen for testing.

But this is also very normal to check the signal of cancer . and most men will have to provide a test instead of having a biopsy.

Meanwhile, a group of American scientists have discovered spicy peppers, a very close spice in a daily meal of capsaicin, that can prevent the development of prostate cancer cells in male.

In an experiment with prostate cancer tumors in mice, the scientists said mice that received capsaicin reduced their cancer size by a fifth compared to those who did not use capsaicin.

"Capsaicin can kill extensive development that is effective for prostate cancer cells , " said Dr. Soren Lehmann of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the University of California Los Angeles School of Medicine. paralysis in humans " .

Scientists also recommend that people who suffer from this disease should use more chili in their meals.

Currently, prostate cancer is common among men in the United States.

It is estimated that about 232,000 people suffer from this disease every year and about 30,000 people die. And there are about 221,000 deaths worldwide
