Track tumor growth through 3D technology
Researchers in Sydney and Glasgow have successfully developed hologram (3D) technology to track tumors that grow and spread in real time.
For the first time in history, scientists have been able to follow the 'lives' of tumors, see how they spread and react to medications.
Using pancreatic cancer, for example, researchers took 3D images and monitored tumor growth. Pancreatic cancer is almost impossible to treat, partly due to the malignant tumor surrounded by thick tissue that makes the drug very difficult to penetrate.
Now 3D images help scientists know how long it will take to provide therapeutic drugs, how much weight and how often, thereby guiding the application of coordinated treatments to break down tissues. around the tumor, helps the drug to absorb more effectively.
The new technology also allows scientists to know exactly where the drug works to focus on improving the effectiveness of treatment in those areas.
Experts believe that this breakthrough will be useful for current drug trials of human pancreatic cancer and may be used in many other forms in the future.
The trial was conducted on mice and it is expected that humans will benefit from this study in another 5-10 years.
