Cancer: Us Scientists Have Found Human Saliva Carries Markers


Flaitz said that

dentistry has entered an exciting new era. Us scientists have found human saliva carries markers of breast cancer and have opened the door to the possibility that one day your doctor or even your dentist could do a simple saliva test for the disease. We go through a process that compares different samples by chemically labeling them in such a way that we can not only identify the protein but determine how much of it is in each sample explained dubinsky. Additionally there may be salivary protein profiles that are unique to both dcis and fibroadenoma tumors.

The research is now being applied to a technology called lab on a chip which basically opens up the possibility that one day a dental practice or other health care facility will be able to carry out a diagnostic test that detects the presence of cancer before the tumour forms.
