According to new research Surgery ray
and CT scans costly procedures will lose their monopoly importance
Until now
blood tests used to reveal the amount of cholesterol choked up in our arteries
or the proper number of vitamins and hormones present in our body. But now,
according to a new research all that was just the tip of an iceberg when it
comes to gauging medical information hidden in our blood. According to researchers
the 5.7 liters of blood flowing in a human body is the perfect source of all
medical information and about any ailments or diseases. Each drop of
our blood has the blueprint of our present and future medical condition.
Doctors would be able to diagnose human plasma’s special compound which is the
first one to signal any changes medically in our body.
Cancer and other diseases would be investigated by just a drop of blood |
According to
the DNA Medicine Institutes’ CEO Dr. Ujeen Chan, “Blood’s data is 10 to 100
times more interesting than genomes. Dr Chan’s institute is working on finding diseases
like Alzheimer, cancer, sclerosis etc through a testing procedure from just one
drop of blood. According to Chan in near future blood test would be the best
source to find out about breast cancer than mammograms and also it would give Alzheimer’s
primary symptoms early on. If this present ongoing research is successful, then
it would be a big breakthrough in the field of medical science.
Those medical
conditions for which surgery or radiation imaging (ct scan, x-ray etc) is
required would be done easily through blood tests. So it would be no surprise of
blood related diagnostic tests reach the number of 1744 trillion INR by the
year 2018. Brigham and women’s hospital declared in June that they have
embarked on the discovery of thousands of viruses through viral infection by
blood tests. This also throws light on new avenues for blood decoding cancer
research. At present cancer tumor’s discovery procedures are simpler prevalent
methods of growth on body or scars etc. But by this procedure in most cases the
ailment increases so much at later stages that treatment becomes difficult. The
new upcoming blood tests would work as liquid biopsies. The tumor’s active
genetic pieces come into the blood stream and these can be developed through
photo images for studies. This would help doctors to know of any cancerous
growth well before hand and would activate the treatment well in time. Though this
is not as easy as it sounds as cancerous cells grow through normal cells only so
tumor’s DNA is a hard task to be separated from a normal cell.
