Although pancreatic cancer is the tenth most common cancer in the United States, it is the fourth most common cause of cancer death, because there are 9 cases of 10 patients, the cancer has spread and no effective treatment. Now, a promising experimental research, testing an endoscope high color light source, made of hope, through a simple procedure, can be detected by a deadly disease.

Researchers at Florida night clinics endoscopic LED light source in the gastrointestinal tract describes how they used endoscope high color light source device to test the ability to identify pancreatic cancer.
In 2 a small group of patients, 14 patients have been diagnosed with the disease, another 10 patients without the disease, the device showed the specificity and sensitivity of 86% and specificity of 92% in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. This shows that the program will be found that 92% of patients with the disease, and the exclusion of 86% patients without disease.
The device is an endoscope high color light source - thin, long, flexible tube light and camera, there is also a blood oxygen sensor connected to it, such as oxygen for fingerclip sensor to measure the patient's blood. Change of sensor measurements near the tissue blood flow, blood flow near the pancreatic tissue measuring device. Its working principle is that the change of blood flow around the tumor tissue, because they need more oxygen to stimulate growth. A measurement of the endoscope high color source refers to the light source through the stomach and duodenum, pancreatic cancer in this side.
Senior researcher, expert Michaele Wallace, a medical professor at the Mayo Clinic in, said accurately detect in early pancreatic cancer, the only way is to remove some organs, and added: "we need a new approach to effectively detecting pancreatic cancer and only in peep mirror high diagnosis on pancreatic cancer led light source, as soon as possible."
He said, even though they are just a small experiment, the results are very promising, "they believe they can be in a larger study, study in the United States and Europe confirmed.
Different methods for detection of cancer
He pointed out that the methods and their cancer is usually different, mainly because they do not want to feel the change of tumor, but in the vicinity of the organization, it seems to be normal. "Endoscopic LED light source it relies on a principle now recognized more and more, is known to affect the cancer field," he explained. Look for a needle in the ocean rather than looking for us now look at the haystack, see how it is different, there is a needle on the inside."
The team also tested the effectiveness of the equipment in the detection of esophageal and colon cancer. The National Institutes of health and the National Cancer Institute, the research and the American medical education and Research Center for medical education and research foundation.
