    On March 20, a new study in the United States showed that early screening for kidney cancer through urinalysis is expected to become a reality Dr Ketan badani, who works for New York Medical College, said: 'at present, we do not have a more effective screening method for renal cancer, so this study is of great significance for us According to the American Cancer Association, in the United States, there are about 62000 renal cancer patients every year, and more than 14000 people die of renal cancer every year This study was initiated by Professor Evan kharasch of the University of Washington School of medicine His team told us that renal cancer patients have an 80% probability of survival before the cancer cells spread However, if the cancer cells have spread at the time of discovery, 80% of the patients will die within 5 years According to the study, finding disease before cancer cells spread has become a major challenge to overcome Renal cancer is usually found by accident when doing CT or MRI scanning, but it is uneconomical to find renal cancer through CT or MRI in clinic Therefore, our goal is to develop a method that can screen out early renal cancer by detecting urine According to the March 19 issue of the journal JAMA, the researchers found that by detecting the level of 2 proteins in the urine to determine early renal cancer, there was a 95% accuracy rate, and no false-positive results The researchers examined 720 patients who had not had renal cancer on CT scans, 80 healthy people and 19 patients who had been diagnosed with renal cancer By detecting the protein levels of AQP1 and plin2 in urine samples, the protein levels of healthy people did not increase, while the protein levels of renal cancer patients increased Three of the 720 subjects had elevated levels of two proteins, two of whom were later diagnosed with renal cancer, and the other died before diagnosis due to other reasons Kharasch said at a news conference that these biological indicators [chemical signals] are sensitive and specific to renal cancer cells Badani, who works for the comprehensive renal cancer center of the New York Department of health, highly praised the research He said that screening renal cancer through urine test is a very simple and convenient method, which fills the technical gap He also pointed out that more research is needed in the future, and more research from different demographic, geographical and racial aspects is needed to confirm the discovery Translated articles from March 20 news original link: http:// the intellectual property rights of the above articles belong to drug intelligence network If you need to reprint, please indicate the source and the link of this article.
